Your local end of tenancy decorating team in Islington
We do end of tenancy decorating across Islington (N1), turning round Georgian and early-Victorian terraces, garden-square conversions and split-level flats between tenancies for landlords and letting agents in Islington, on a fixed price agreed before we lift a brush and with minor repairs included. Finishes are neutral, washable and deposit-ready.
Islington is trendy and desirable, with a strong owner-occupier and rental mix on smart terraced streets and leafy garden squares. The local housing stock, Georgian and early-Victorian terraces, garden-square conversions and split-level flats, typically has tall first-floor reception rooms, deep skirtings, decorative cornicing, panelled shutters and original timber sash windows behind painted stucco fronts. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Upper Street.
Fast void repaints for the garden-square flats around Angel
Islington's let stock is distinctive. Georgian and early-Victorian terraces off Upper Street, split-level conversions tucked behind the garden squares, tall first-floor reception rooms, deep skirtings and panelled shutters that all need careful cutting in. Agents around Angel lean on us to turn these flats around fast, but a void repaint here is more than rolling four flat walls and walking away.
A void never drags here. We work to a fixed price and a clear date, filling the picture-hook holes and hairline cracks period plaster throws up, then finishing walls and woodwork in a clean, lettable neutral. The shutters and run cornicing get the same attention as the walls, and the keys come back deposit-ready for the next viewing.
End of Tenancy Decorating for period and Victorian homes in Islington
Tenanted flats take a beating between lets. Scuffed cornicing, picture-hook holes, chipped sash frames. In Camden's Victorian and Edwardian stock the plaster behind those holes has already shifted, so we fill, sand and stabilise all of it properly before any paint goes on, and the void finish looks fresh on the listing photos rather than papered over.
End of Tenancy Decorating for Islington landlords and letting agents
Landlords and letting agents keep our number for void turnarounds. We hit the date in the diary. The colours are neutral washable trade shades chosen to show well in listing photos and survive the next tenancy, and the keys come back ready for viewings, not still drying.
How we do end of tenancy decorating in Islington
-
Quote against your void deadline
We walk the empty property and note every scuff, hole and tired wall, then give you one fixed price in writing tied to the move-in or viewing date you are working towards. A slow patch never inflates the bill.
-
Make good and repair
Filling and sanding is standard. Picture-hook holes, filler cracks, blown plaster patches and scuffed woodwork are all made good, and minor repairs sit inside the fixed price rather than arriving as a surprise on the invoice, which is what gets the place back to you deposit-ready.
-
Neutral, lettable colour scheme
White or off-white ceilings. A warm light grey or clean white on the walls, eggshell on the woodwork, colours that photograph well, suit any tenant's furniture and read bright in listing photos, and we will match an agent's house scheme if there is one.
-
Two coats of washable trade paint
Two coats go on. The paint is hard-wearing Dulux, Crown or Johnstone's trade, chosen to take wipe-downs and the wear of the next tenancy, and every line is cut in clean by hand throughout.
-
Keys back on time, ready to let
Masking comes down. All our waste goes with us and the flat is left clean, then it is handed back on the agreed date so viewings or the next tenant can move in without delay.

End of Tenancy Decorating in Islington, common questions
How quickly can you turn around a void property?
Two to three days. That is a standard 1-bed flat, walls, ceilings and woodwork, and larger properties take longer, but you get a firm timeline at quote stage tied to your viewing or move-in date, so you can plan around it with confidence.
What neutral colours work best for rentals?
White or off-white on ceilings. A warm light grey or clean white on the walls. That combination is the safe, lettable choice for Camden rentals, because it photographs brightly, suits most furniture and appeals to the widest pool of tenants, and if your agent or managing company has a house scheme we will match a specific shade.
Do you only paint, or can you fix minor damage too?
We fix as well as paint. Minor filling, sanding and repairs are part of the decorating rather than an extra line, so picture-hook holes, scuffs, small cracks and tired plaster are all made good before any paint goes on. For anything structural we can bring in the wider Ferizi Property Services team.
How much does end of tenancy decorating cost in Camden?
Every void is quoted as a fixed price after a quick site visit. What it comes to depends on the size of the flat, the condition of the walls and woodwork, the colours chosen and the number of coats needed to cover, so we look at the property, agree the price in writing and turn it around to your check-in date.
How much does end of tenancy decorating cost in Islington?
Fixed written price after a quick site visit. In N1 the figure follows how much joinery comes with the flat: deep skirtings, panelled shutters and run cornicing are all part of the standard void scope, and finishing them in eggshell takes more time than walls alone.
How long does an end of tenancy turnaround take in a typical Islington flat?
A standard one-bed is two to three days for walls, ceilings and woodwork. Flats with tall first-floor reception rooms, shutters and heavy cornicing run longer, because each element is cut in by hand. We tie the date to your check-in or viewing and confirm it at the site visit.
Do you paint the shutters and skirting in an Islington flat, or just the walls?
The deep skirtings, panelled shutters and run cornicing that come with these N1 terraces are part of the standard end-of-tenancy scope, finished in eggshell so the whole flat reads crisp at viewings. It's all in one fixed written price agreed after a free site visit.
