Stucco, villas and conservation areas
Much of the town centre is a conservation area, and many stucco-fronted buildings are listed. Repainting them usually means scaffolding, crack repairs and traditional colours in creams and whites.
Victorian villas around the common have generous rooms and high ceilings, and homeowners often want heritage paints, careful woodwork and decorated staircases. Tile-hung cottages in the surrounding villages bring their own exterior details.

Exterior painting in South East England: what to plan for
The South East is one of the drier, sunnier parts of the UK, which gives decorators a decent window for exterior work from spring to early autumn. Coastal towns along the Channel are a different story: salt air and south-westerly winds are hard on render, timber windows and gloss, so seafront homes usually need repainting more often.
Most homeowners can repaint the outside of their house without asking anyone. The exceptions are listed buildings and some conservation areas, where a change of colour or finish may need the council's approval. More on exterior painting.
