What we paint in London.
Walls to woodwork, kitchens to fences — one team for every painted surface in London.
Walls and ceilings
Emulsion finishes for every room — matt, silk and durable scrubbable paints.
Woodwork and trim
Skirting, doors, frames, windowsills, stairs and banisters in satinwood or gloss.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.
Wallpaper
Hanging, pattern matching, stripping and lining — feature walls to whole houses.
Garden timber
Fences, sheds, decking, pergolas and garden furniture, stained or painted.
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 London project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

What decorating really costs in London — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePeriod Property Decorating in London — 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 the rest of Westminster?
Yes — London is part of our coverage across the City of Westminster, alongside Charing Cross, Whitehall, Chinatown, Covent Garden. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Which parts of London do you cover?
All of it — London (WC2N) is fully inside our patch, along with Charing Cross, Whitehall, Chinatown, Covent Garden. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
How soon can you start in London?
Smaller London 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.
