Painting & decorating in Houghton on the Hill.

Houghton on the Hill is a village east of Leicester on the A47 Uppingham Road, sitting on high ground with long views over the surrounding countryside. It is a sought-after place to live, with an older village core around St Catharine's Church and a good number of larger detached homes built over the last few decades. Many properties here are substantial, with big elevations, plenty of woodwork and gardens that need regular exterior upkeep.

Local businesses are mostly small and community-based, from the village shop and pubs to the school and village hall, alongside farms and rural businesses on the outskirts. Homeowners expect careful, tidy decorators who respect the property and the neighbours, and that is how we work.

Local knowledge

Landmarks & town centre

St Catharine's Church and the older streets around it form the historic heart of the village, where brick and stone cottages sit alongside more recent homes.

The village's hilltop position along the A47 Uppingham Road means houses face the wind and rain more than those in the valley, and exterior paintwork works hard as a result.

Nearby villages such as Thurnby, Bushby, Scraptoft, Billesdon and Great Glen share a similar mix of period cottages and larger family houses, and we cover them all.

Business parks & industry

There is no industrial estate in Houghton on the Hill itself. Commercial work here is mostly small business premises, community buildings and rural units, such as farm offices, converted barns and workshops.

For businesses with premises in Leicester as well as homes in the village, we can look after both, from office and warehouse interiors in the city to the house on the hill.

Every commercial job gets a clear scope, agreed working hours and RAMS where required.

Homes & housing stock

Homes range from older brick and stone cottages in the village centre to 1960s to 1980s detached houses and larger executive homes built more recently.

Bigger properties mean more to paint: tall stairwells, high ceilings, lots of skirting, doors and windows, and exterior fascias, soffits and render that need access equipment to reach safely.

Period cottages need gentler preparation and breathable paints on older walls, while newer homes often want a cohesive colour scheme throughout open-plan living spaces.

Questions about painting in Houghton on the Hill

Do you paint large detached houses in Houghton on the Hill?

Yes. Larger homes are a big part of our work in the village. We plan the job room by room or floor by floor, use the right access equipment for tall stairwells and high exterior elevations, and give you a fixed price covering preparation, materials and timescale.

Can you decorate period cottages in the village?

We do. Older brick and stone cottages need careful preparation and, on solid walls, breathable paints that let moisture escape. We take the time to prepare woodwork, doors and windows properly so the finish suits the character of the house.

Do you paint exteriors exposed to the weather on the hill?

Yes. Hilltop homes take more wind and rain, so exterior prep matters. We clean down, repair and prime where needed, then use exterior-grade masonry and wood paints designed to last on exposed elevations.

Do you cover nearby villages like Thurnby, Bushby and Billesdon?

Yes. We work right across the villages east of Leicester, including Thurnby, Bushby, Scraptoft, Billesdon and Great Glen, as well as Houghton on the Hill itself.
