  • Preparation done properlyCracks filled, surfaces sanded and stains sealed, so the finish stays smooth and doesn’t flake.
  • Trade-quality paintDurable trade paints from established manufacturers, or the brand and colour you’ve picked.
  • A clean site, every dayWe tidy at the end of each day and leave the place ready to use when we finish.

Questions we’re often asked

Can’t see your question? Send us a message.

Is the quote really free?

Yes. We visit, measure and send you a written quote at no cost and with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you supply the paint?

Usually, yes — materials are included in the quote. If you’ve already chosen a particular brand or colour, we’ll price for that, or use paint you’ve bought yourself.

How long does it take to paint a room?

An average bedroom or living room takes one to two days including preparation and two coats. Your quote gives a timeframe for the whole job.

Do I need to move my furniture?

Just remove small and fragile items. We move what we can to the middle of the room and cover it, and put it back when we’re done.

Which areas do you cover?

We’re based in North London and work across Greater London. For larger commercial projects we also work further afield, including our current project in Manchester.

Can you work evenings or weekends?

For shops, offices and occupied buildings, yes. We can plan work out of hours or in phases so your business keeps running.
