Interior & exterior painting in Islington
Camden Painters decorates homes and flats right across Islington and the surrounding N1 streets, from the period terraces off Upper Street to the conversion flats tucked behind the garden squares. The housing here leans Georgian and early-Victorian: tall first-floor reception rooms, deep skirtings, run cornices and original sash windows set into stucco-fronted facades. Plaster of this age rarely sits flat, so we caulk the gaps, fill the hairline cracks and sand back proud edges before a brush touches the wall. That groundwork is what keeps a finish looking crisp instead of flagging up every old movement line a few months on.
The bulk of what we do locally is interior painting, single rooms, whole-flat refreshes and complete house repaints. We cut in neatly around picture rails, shutters and cornicing, then roll the walls in trade-grade Dulux, Crown or Johnstone’s, with Farrow & Ball when a colour scheme calls for it. Period detail gets the attention it deserves, so we also take on sash window painting on the older terraces and wallpaper hanging for feature walls in those high-ceilinged front rooms near Camden Passage and Chapel Market.
Rental and managed flats in N1
Islington runs a high proportion of let property, and agents around Angel lean on us to turn flats around fast between tenants. Our end-of-tenancy decorating works to a fixed price and a clear date, so a void never drags. We cover neighbouring patches as well, including King’s Cross and Euston, which keeps a portfolio spread across postcodes looking consistent from one flat to the next.
We are fully insured and every quote is free. Call 07455 705074 or book a site visit and we will price the job in person, at a fixed cost.
How we paint homes in Islington
Every job in Islington starts with a free site visit. We walk the property, check the surfaces and give you a fixed written price before any work begins. Then we prep properly: fill, sand and mask, paint with trade-grade Dulux, Crown and Johnstone's, and clean up before we hand back.
Why Islington homeowners and landlords choose Camden Painters
Islington homeowners and landlords come to us because we price the whole job up front and stick to it. N1 is full of Georgian and early-Victorian terraces, garden-square conversions and split-level flats, where surfaces need careful prep, so we keep one insured team on site and work to a clear timeline, which is why letting agents across North London use us to turn flats around between tenants.

Painters and decorators in Islington: common questions
Who are the best painters and decorators in Islington?
Customers are better placed to say. Our work in N1 is full flat and house repaints, reception rooms and hallways, cornice and skirting restoration, end-of-tenancy repaints for landlords, sash windows and shutter finishing, and garden-square communal areas. Fully insured, fixed price in writing after a free visit.
How much do painters and decorators charge in Islington?
We do not give a rate over the phone. The price is fixed in writing after a free visit. In N1 the joinery and the plaster set it. Tall first-floor reception rooms, deep skirtings, run cornices and panelled shutters all take hand cutting-in, and Georgian plaster rarely sits flat.
Which parts of Islington do you cover?
We cover N1 across Islington, from the terraces off Upper Street and the garden-square conversions to the split-level flats around Angel, Chapel Market and Camden Passage. Landlord turnarounds and communal areas are in scope too. Send the postcode if you sit near the King's Cross boundary.
Can you paint the panelled shutters as well as the walls in an Islington flat?
Yes. The original shutters and deep skirtings in these N1 terraces are part of the job, finished in trade eggshell and cut in by hand alongside the walls and cornicing. Adding woodwork like shutters is usually about half a day on top of the room, and it goes on the same price.
