Bermondsey's trusted
property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Bermondsey and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across SE1 & SE16 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
Bermondsey has become one of South London's most desirable addresses — the converted warehouses of Shad Thames and Butler's Wharf, the restaurants and galleries of Bermondsey Street, the Victorian terraces around Southwark Park and the new developments spreading out from London Bridge. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that SE1 & SE16 owners expect.

Reliability, quality and professionalism are standard.
Bermondsey's housing stock is a genuine mix — riverside warehouse conversions with exposed brick and timber, Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks, large post-war estates, and thousands of new-build apartments around London Bridge and the Blue. A high proportion is rented and much of it is managed, so we're used to concierges, service lifts, permitted hours and between-tenancy turnarounds.
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.
