How pricing works in Clerkenwell.
Every job is different, so we price your Clerkenwell project individually and give you a clear written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras. Here's what shapes your price:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Clerkenwell project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
Trust built on guarantees, not gimmicks.
No invented star ratings here — just clear promises we keep on every job.
Fully insured
Public liability cover on every single job, as standard. Documentation for landlords and agents on request.
Fixed written quotes
The price we quote is the price you pay. No day-rate creep, no surprise extras on the final day.
Prep-first promise
Filling, sanding, caulking and priming on every job. We never paint over problems — prep decides the finish.
Real human support
Speak to a real person 7 days a week on WhatsApp or the phone. No call centres, no bots.

What decorating really costs in Clerkenwell — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePeriod Property Decorating in Clerkenwell — FAQs.
How much does period property decorating cost?
It depends on the level of detail and the condition of original features. Share a few photos of the rooms over WhatsApp and we'll work up a free fixed quote for you.
Why can't you use normal modern paint on my Victorian walls?
Standard sealed emulsions can trap moisture in lime plaster and older masonry, leading to blistering and damp problems. We use breathable paints designed for older buildings instead.
Can you match a heritage colour for a listed building?
Yes — we work with heritage and conservation-approved paint ranges and can match specific shades where planning or listed building consent requires them.
Do you cover Clerkenwell?
Yes — our local decorators cover Clerkenwell (EC1R) and the surrounding area, including Farringdon, Barbican, Smithfield, Kenton West. Same-week slots are often available.
Do you supply materials for Clerkenwell jobs?
Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.
Which parts of Clerkenwell do you cover?
All of it — Clerkenwell (EC1R) is fully inside our patch, along with Farringdon, Barbican, Smithfield, Kenton West. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
