Painting and decorating FAQs in Camden
Everything about our painting and decorating service in Camden — quotes, paint, timings and how we work.
Painting and decorating costs and quotes in Camden
How much does a room repaint cost?
Every room is quoted as a fixed price after a visit, never a day rate. What it comes to depends on the size of the room, the condition of the walls, the colour you choose and the number of coats needed, and whether woodwork is included. We assess it all on the visit and give you the price in writing before any work starts.
Do you give fixed prices?
Yes. We always visit your property before quoting and provide a fixed price. You pay exactly what we quote, not a day rate that can run over.
Areas we cover and how soon we can start
What areas of Camden do you cover?
We cover all Camden neighbourhoods including Hampstead, Primrose Hill, Camden Town, Kentish Town, Belsize Park, Chalk Farm, Gospel Oak and Highgate. We also work in neighbouring areas of North London.
How quickly can you start?
Most Camden jobs are booked within one to two weeks of enquiry. If you have an urgent void property or end of tenancy situation, call us directly and we will do our best to fit you in.
Do you handle end-of-tenancy and void property repaints for landlords?
Yes. We work with Camden landlords and letting agents on end-of-tenancy and void repaints across NW1, NW3 and NW5. We turn flats around quickly between tenancies — repainting walls, ceilings and woodwork to a clean, lettable standard — and fit the work around your move-out, inventory and check-in dates.
Working in Camden homes
Do you work in occupied properties?
Yes. We work room by room in occupied properties, keeping dust and disruption to a minimum. We protect flooring and furniture with dust sheets and ventilate the space well throughout.
What paint do you use?
We use trade-grade paints from Dulux, Crown and Johnstone's as standard. These perform better and last longer than DIY-store alternatives. We can match any colour or use paint you supply.
Do you paint period and Victorian properties in Camden?
Yes. Much of Camden is Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses and conservation-area homes around Primrose Hill, Hampstead and Kentish Town. We are used to lath-and-plaster walls, original cornicing, panelled doors and timber sash windows — using careful prep and the right breathable finishes so older surfaces are protected, not damaged.
Can you paint sash windows and exterior woodwork?
Yes. Camden's period homes have plenty of timber sash windows, fascias and front doors. We prepare, repair and repaint exterior woodwork with durable exterior systems and time outdoor work around dry spells. Whether the job is inside or out, we protect surrounding surfaces and glass before any painting begins.
Insurance and wider property services
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance for all painting and decorating work. We are happy to provide a copy of our insurance certificate on request.
Do you paint communal areas and hallways in blocks of flats?
Yes. Camden has many mansion blocks and converted houses with shared hallways, stairwells and landings. We repaint communal areas for managing agents and freeholders, working in stages so access stays clear for residents, and protecting flooring, handrails and entrance doors throughout the job.
Do you only do painting, or can you help with other property work?
