Interior finishes in Montpelier
Montpelier in Brighton is one of the tightest premium markets we work in. The building stock centres on the Regency stucco stock the streetscape is famous for, with a secondary layer of the townhouse stock that gives the area its character. Cream-stucco Regency terraces overlooking Montpelier Crescent. Local property values sit in the strong tier (median around £900k), and our client mix here is overwhelmingly designer- and architect-led — we're brought onto the shortlist at spec stage rather than pitching cold. Because this is a dense listed-building conservation area, our specifications here lean vapour-permeable and reversible — natural limewash, hand-brushed high-end paint, and clay-plaster substrates. Anything that would trap moisture behind period joinery gets refused at survey. Roads we're most often on: Montpelier Crescent, Montpelier Road, Vernon Terrace. Nearest arterial addresses in the same market: Clifton Hill, Seven Dials, Brunswick.
What we specify for Montpelier clients
Mineral limewash paint on original lime plaster — vapour-permeable, mineral-bonded, ages softly. The correct finish for pre-1919 stock; wrong for plasterboard.
Full-house schedules in Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library, Edward Bulmer and Bauwerk — brushed by hand on walls, sprayed on joinery. 8–14 colour schedules the norm on a whole-house brief.
Authentic slaked-lime marmorino and stucco veneziano, applied in three or more thin coats and burnished to a marble-like sheen. Sample boards produced against your designer's schedule before we start on site.
