Decorating Mysore Road

Mysore Road is a residential street in north Battersea, SW11, running east from Lavender Hill toward Wandsworth Road through the late-Victorian terraced housing grid that characterises this part of the borough. Laid out in the 1880s and 1890s on land developed after the arrival of the railway, the street is lined with solid two and three-storey London stock brick terraced houses displaying the typical features of working-class and lower-middle-class Victorian speculative building: shallow bay windows, simple brick corbelling, and small paved front yards. The wider area around Mysore Road has seen significant regeneration since the early 2000s as Battersea has become an increasingly sought-after residential destination.

Properties on Mysore Road typically have painted render or pebbledash applied to bay sections alongside the natural stock brick of the main elevations, and external decorating work requires careful attention to the condition of the rendered areas before overcoating. The area's ongoing gentrification means many houses on this street are being fully refurbished, creating demand for complete interior decoration packages including skimming, priming, and high-quality emulsion and gloss finishes throughout.
