How pricing works in Shortlands.
No price lists that pad the worst case — your Shortlands project gets its own honest, fixed, written quote. These are the factors that set it:
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.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Kitchens need different paint to bedrooms; woodwork needs different paint to walls. For your Shortlands project we spec the right finish for every surface — and explain why.

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 Shortlands?
Yes — our local decorators cover Shortlands (BR2) and the surrounding area, including Bromley Town, Bromley, Bromley North, Copers Cope. Same-week slots are often available.
Which parts of Shortlands do you cover?
All of it — Shortlands (BR2) is fully inside our patch, along with Bromley Town, Bromley, Bromley North, Copers Cope. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Are you insured to work in Shortlands?
Yes — every job in Shortlands is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
