Whether you own a lateral apartment overlooking Kensington Gardens, a converted flat on a Bayswater garden square, or a portfolio of rental flats near Queensway — we understand the expectations of Bayswater clients and consistently deliver to them. Reliability, quality and professionalism are standard.

Bayswater's housing stock is a mix of tall mid-Victorian stucco terraces — mostly converted into apartments — purpose-built mansion blocks, and post-war and modern developments around the Hyde Park Estate. A high proportion is rented, often to international tenants, and much of it is portered, so we're used to building managers, service lifts and strict working hours.

All work is fully insured, VAT registered, and backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty (24 months on projects over £10k). We're a proper Ltd company (No. 16499315) — not a man with a van. Every quote is itemised, every invoice is digital, and every job is done to a standard we're happy to put our name on.

Painting & Decorating
Bayswater

Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Bayswater is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across W2 for over a decade — with the reviews to prove it.

We work on everything from single room refreshes in rented apartments to full flat and house redecorations for landlords and homeowners. Our decorators are experienced, tidy, and genuinely care about the finish they leave behind.

Bayswater properties require a high-quality decorating finish delivered efficiently — heritage colours and cornice repairs in the stucco terraces, clean modern finishes in the mansion blocks, and the ability to work in occupied, managed buildings with minimal disruption. Our decorators are experienced at both.

Popular decorating jobs we handle in Bayswater include: full redecorations of converted flats between tenancies, cornice and ceiling repairs in tall Victorian rooms, mansion-block apartment refreshes, communal hallway and staircase redecoration, hand-painted sash windows and internal doors, and premium specialist finishes for owner-occupiers.

We price decorating work as a lump sum — so you always know the cost upfront. No hourly surprises, no extras added later. For smaller one-off jobs we charge £85/hr + VAT with a minimum call-out of £95 + VAT.

Property Refurbishment
Bayswater

Need a full property refurbishment in Bayswater? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across W2 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.

A full refurbishment in Bayswater typically covers: full redecoration throughout, new flooring, kitchen replacement or upgrade, bathroom renovation, carpentry and joinery, basic plumbing and electrical, and any plastering or repair work needed. We manage every trade so you have a single point of contact from survey to handover.

Full refurbishments in Bayswater demand experience with high-specification work in shared buildings — luxury bathrooms fitted into Victorian layouts, bespoke kitchens, and the finish that W2 expects — alongside the practicalities of portered blocks, freeholder licences for alterations and limited parking.

We've completed refurbishments across Bayswater and Westminster ranging from £15,000 cosmetic refreshes (new flooring, full redecoration, bathroom update) to £65,000+ complete gut refurbishments — our project at John Spencer Square, N1 is a good example of the standard we deliver at the higher end.

For landlords in W2, a well-executed refurbishment before reletting typically increases rental yield and reduces void periods — making it one of the best investments a landlord can make. For homeowners, a quality refurbishment ahead of sale can add significant value in a market where presentation matters.
