Painter in Mitcham: local knowledge
Mitcham's post-war properties have straightforward decorating requirements but often need more preparation than expected. Artex ceilings, stippled walls, and the textured finishes popular in the 1970s and 1980s need either skimming over or careful painting with rollers that cope with the texture. The older properties near the cricket green have more traditional decorating needs with lime plaster walls and timber features.

Pro tip for Mitcham homeowners
When painting over artex ceilings in Mitcham properties, use a deep-pile roller to get paint into all the texture crevices. A standard roller leaves white spots in the valleys of the texture that look terrible when the paint dries. If the artex has been tested clear of asbestos and you want a smooth finish, having it skimmed before painting is always the better option.
Painting in Mitcham: what we typically see
Mitcham is largely residential with a mix of inter-war semis and post-war housing. The area around the cricket green has some older Victorian properties, but most of the housing stock dates from the 1930s through to the 1960s. We regularly carry out painting and decorating work at 1930s semi-detached houses, post-war council houses, Victorian cottages, and ex-council flats across CR4.
The decorating challenges in Mitcham depend on the property type. 1930s semi-detached houses often have high ceilings, picture rails, and original plasterwork that needs careful preparation before painting. Period features like cornicing and ceiling roses need protection and sometimes specialist filling. For newer properties, the surfaces are usually more straightforward but still need proper prep for a lasting finish.
For landlords in Mitcham, end-of-tenancy redecorations need to be done quickly and to a good standard. We can turn around a full flat redecoration in a few days, including making good any damage, filling, and painting to a neutral specification. We work to minimise void periods and get the property back on the market fast.

Can I paint over stippled walls in my Mitcham house?
Yes, stippled walls can be painted over, though the textured finish will remain visible under the new paint. Use a deep-pile roller to ensure full coverage in the texture. If you want smooth walls, the stipple needs to be skimmed with finishing plaster first. Before any work on textured finishes in properties from the 1960s to 1980s, have the texture tested for asbestos. Stipple coatings and artex from this period may contain chrysotile asbestos.
