Decorating Shouldham Street

Shouldham Street is a residential side street in Marylebone running between Seymour Place and Upper Berkeley Street, lined with attractive stucco-fronted Victorian terraced houses. The street forms part of the Portman Estate and has a quiet, village-like character despite its proximity to busy Edgware Road. Its well-maintained period houses attract professional residents who invest in quality interior and exterior refurbishment.

The stucco facades of Shouldham Street properties are a dominant feature requiring periodic repainting with specialist masonry paints that adhere well to the existing lime-based render. Window surrounds, pilasters and cornice mouldings add decorative complexity to exterior contracts. Internally, the conversion of these terraces into flats means decoration works range from full-house refurbishments for owner-occupiers to communal stairwell schemes for freeholders.
