How long does it take to paint a whole house?
A typical 3-bed house interior takes 1–2 weeks depending on condition and how much woodwork is included; exteriors add a few days in the right weather. Your quote includes a clear schedule.
Is it cheaper to paint before moving in?
Yes, noticeably — empty rooms need no furniture handling and dry faster with windows open, so the same house takes fewer days. If you can give us the keys between exchange and move-in, that's the sweet spot.
Can you help choose colours for the whole house?
Yes — free colour advice comes with every quote. We'll help you build a palette that flows room to room and suits the light each room gets.

Yes — Ratcliff is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, alongside St. Dunstan's and Stepney Green, Limehouse, Stepney, Tower Hamlets. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
How soon can you start in Ratcliff?
Smaller Ratcliff jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
