The Homes of Towcester
Towcester is home to a diverse mix of properties, each with its own character and decorating needs. Here is what we see when we work across the area.
Historic Market Town
Roman-Era Town Centre
Towcester (pronounced 'Toaster') is a Roman-era town on Watling Street. Limestone and ironstone buildings in the old town centre. Georgian and Victorian properties on the High Street.
What we commonly find:
Stone properties in the old town require heritage-appropriate paint systems — lime-based paints, breathable finishes, and careful preparation of historic surfaces.
Modern Estates
Towcester Vale & New Developments
Large new developments on the edges — Towcester Vale estate to the south is one of the biggest developments in South Northamptonshire.
What we commonly find:
Standard developer finish upgrades on new-builds. Some properties near Silverstone are holiday lets that need regular refreshes between guests.
Towcester Repaint Guide
Every home is different, but here are the general guidelines we give our Towcester customers:
Exterior masonry (rendered or painted brick)
Every 5-7 years
Depends on which direction the wall faces. South and west-facing walls weather faster. If you see chalking — a powdery residue when you rub the surface — it's time.
Exterior woodwork (fascias, soffits, window frames)
Every 3-5 years
For painted timber. Longer if you switch to a microporous system that lets moisture escape rather than trapping it under the paint film.
Interior high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, kitchens)
Every 3-5 years
Or sooner if you've got young kids or pets. A good quality washable matt like Dulux Diamond makes a big difference to longevity.
Interior bedrooms and living rooms
Every 5-7 years
More often if you fancy a colour change.
Hand-painted kitchens
Every 8-10 years
A properly prepared and painted kitchen with specialist primers and hardwearing topcoats should last this long with normal use.
