How we work
Painters and decorators in London who start with preparation
Most paint failures in London homes come from rushed preparation, not the paint itself. As residential and commercial decorators working across Central, West and South East London since 2019, we follow the same six-stage standard on every job — whether it's a single bedroom in East Dulwich, a Chelsea townhouse or an office floor in Canary Wharf.
Period and heritage property care
A large share of our work is in Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian houses. These need different materials from a new-build: lath-and-plaster ceilings are repaired rather than skimmed over, lime plaster gets breathable paint, original cornicing and ceiling roses are cleaned and re-detailed, and sash windows are eased, filled and painted so they still open.
Outside, we repair and repaint stucco façades, railings and front doors with exterior systems made for London weather. See our coving and cornicing painting page or the exterior painting service.
What affects the price of decorating in London
- Room size and ceiling height — high Victorian ceilings and stairwells need towers or extra time.
- Surface condition — cracked plaster, flaking gloss or bare wood adds preparation hours.
- Paint choice — premium brands cost more per tin but often cover and wear better.
- Woodwork — skirtings, doors, spindles and sash windows are priced separately.
- Access and parking — flats without lifts and Central London parking add cost.

Six stages, every project
Most of a lasting finish happens before the colour goes on. Timings depend on the size of the job and are confirmed in your written quote.
01Survey & moisture check
Every wall, ceiling and piece of woodwork is inspected. We moisture-test plaster and note cracks, blown areas and previous coatings before quoting.
02Protection
Floors are covered with breathable dust sheets and correx, furniture is wrapped and sockets, handles and fittings are masked or removed.
03Dust-controlled preparation
Mechanical sanding with extraction, filling with flexible and two-part fillers, caulking of joints and knotting of bare timber — the stage that decides how long a finish lasts.
04Stain blocking & priming
Water marks, nicotine and tannin are sealed with stain-block primers; bare plaster gets a mist coat and bare wood a trade primer-undercoat.
05Two full top coats
Two coats minimum, cut in by hand for crisp lines, using Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or Dulux Trade depending on the room and budget.
06Snagging & handover
We walk every room with you in daylight and under lamps, fix anything you spot, clean up and leave labelled leftover paint for future touch-ups.
Sometimes timings change due to unforeseen circumstances, but we adapt, keep you informed and find the best possible way forward.
