Discretion, tidiness and a flawless finish are standard.
Much of Chelsea's housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian — high ceilings, original cornicing, sash windows and period joinery — often within Royal Borough conservation areas and managed buildings with strict working hours. We're used to working around porters, residents' associations and building managers, and to protecting original features while we work.
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
Chelsea
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Chelsea is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across SW3 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.
Chelsea properties require the finest decorating finishes — Farrow & Ball and Little Greene colours, precise cornice and ceiling-rose restoration, hand-painted kitchens and joinery, and the ability to work in occupied, high-value homes with minimal disruption. Our decorators are experienced at this level.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Chelsea include: full redecorations of mansion-block flats between tenancies, feature walls and living room transformations, ceiling and cornice repairs in period houses, hand-painted woodwork including panelling, sash windows and internal doors, and premium specialist finishes for owner-occupiers who want something special.
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
Chelsea
Need a full property refurbishment in Chelsea? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across SW3 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.
A full refurbishment in Chelsea 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 Chelsea demand experience with high-specification work — luxury bathroom installations, bespoke kitchen fitting, premium materials and the kind of finish that SW3 expects. We're also used to the practical realities: managed-block access rules, listed-building sensitivities and tight parking.
We've completed refurbishments across Chelsea and the Royal Borough 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 SW3, 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.

- Bathroom renovation and fitting
