Whether you own a converted flat near Clapham Common, a family house in Abbeville Village, or a rental property near the High Street — we understand the expectations of Clapham clients and consistently deliver to them. Reliability, tidiness and a quality finish are standard.

Clapham's housing stock is mostly Victorian — tall terraces around the Common converted into flats and maisonettes, family houses in Abbeville Village and the Old Town, plus Georgian houses on the north side and modern developments near Clapham North. A large share is rented to young professionals, so between-tenancy turnarounds are a big part of what we do here.

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
Clapham

Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Clapham is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across SW4 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.

Clapham properties need decorating that's high quality, quick and tidy — landlords want flats back on the market fast, families want the job done properly with the house kept liveable. Our decorators deliver both: careful prep, clean lines, and a finish that photographs well and lasts.

Popular decorating jobs we handle in Clapham include: between-tenancy repaints of converted flats, whole-house redecorations of Victorian terraces, ceiling and cornice repairs, hand-painted sash windows, skirting boards and internal doors, kitchen-extension and loft-room decoration, and feature walls and colour schemes 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
Clapham

Need a full property refurbishment in Clapham? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across SW4 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.

A full refurbishment in Clapham 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 Clapham range from fast, cost-effective landlord refits — new bathroom, new kitchen, flooring and redecoration to bring a tired conversion up to market standard — through to whole-house family projects with side-return kitchens and loft rooms. We manage every trade so you have one point of contact throughout.

We've completed refurbishments across Clapham and Lambeth 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 SW4, 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.

FAQ

Questions about painting, flooring
& refurbishment in Clapham

Redecorating a one-bedroom flat in Clapham typically costs from £1,600 for a full repaint of walls, ceilings and woodwork. A two-bedroom flat starts from around £2,200 depending on condition, ceiling height and prep needed. Whole houses are quoted room by room after a site visit. We always provide a fixed lump-sum price upfront. For smaller jobs, we charge £85/hr + VAT.
For a standard one-bedroom conversion, a full redecoration takes 3–5 working days and new flooring 1–2 days on top. A bathroom refit adds around a week. We regularly plan work so it starts the day after check-out and finishes before the new tenancy begins, and we can liaise directly with your letting agent for keys and access.
Yes — we work regularly across Clapham, Battersea and Brixton and understand the specific requirements of the area's Victorian conversions, family terraces and Georgian houses. We're reliable, tidy and professional on every job, and we're used to working with letting agents, families and freehold companies.
A typical one-bedroom flat refurbishment covering redecoration, flooring and bathroom takes around 2–3 weeks. A larger two-bedroom flat with kitchen replacement, bathroom renovation, full flooring and redecoration usually takes 4–6 weeks. Whole-house projects in Clapham are scoped individually. We agree a clear timeline at quote stage so you know exactly when your property will be ready, and we work efficiently to minimise your void period.
Yes — and it's often the most efficient approach. We sequence the work properly: plastering and prep first, then painting, then flooring last. This way nothing gets damaged. Because we have both decorators and flooring fitters in-house, we can co-ordinate the work so there's no waiting around between trades.
Yes — kitchen installation and bathroom renovation are a core part of our refurbishment offering in SW4. We can supply and fit a new kitchen or bathroom, or fit units and fixtures you've already purchased. We handle all associated tiling, plumbing connections, decoration and flooring as part of the same job. Get in touch with your requirements and we'll put together a full quote.
All quotes clearly show costs both ex-VAT and inc-VAT at 20%. There are no hidden charges. Our minimum call-out for small repair or touch-up jobs is £95 + VAT. For refurbishments, we typically request a deposit before starting work, with the balance due on completion.
