Clerkenwell's trusted
property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Clerkenwell and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across EC1 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
Clerkenwell is where London's design and creative industries live — converted Victorian warehouses and printworks turned into lofts, Georgian terraces around Clerkenwell Green and Myddelton Square, the cafés of Exmouth Market, and a wave of high-specification new developments around Farringdon. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that EC1 owners expect.

Reliability, quality and professionalism are standard.
Clerkenwell's housing stock is unusual and varied — warehouse and factory conversions with exposed brick, steel and timber, Georgian townhouses and squares, Victorian mansion blocks, the Peabody and post-war estates, and a growing number of modern apartment buildings. Almost all of it is in shared buildings with little or no parking, so we're used to planning access carefully.
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
Clerkenwell
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Clerkenwell is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across EC1 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.
Clerkenwell properties require a clean, precise, design-led decorating finish — crisp flat walls and spray-finished joinery in the lofts and new builds, heritage colours and cornice repairs in the Georgian flats, and the ability to work in occupied, managed buildings with minimal disruption. Our decorators are experienced at exactly this.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Clerkenwell include: full redecorations of loft apartments including exposed brick, steel and timber treatment, between-tenancy repaints, Georgian flat redecoration with cornice and panelling repairs, upgrading developer-standard paintwork in new builds, spray-finished doors and joinery, and feature walls and premium 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.

Clerkenwell
Need a full property refurbishment in Clerkenwell? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across EC1 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.
A full refurbishment in Clerkenwell 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 Clerkenwell are design-led apartment and loft projects — open-plan kitchens, luxury bathrooms, new flooring, fitted joinery and full redecoration — delivered within the constraints of converted and managed buildings: licences to alter, portered or shared access, no on-street parking and permitted working hours. We handle the coordination so you don't have to.
We've completed refurbishments across Clerkenwell and the City fringe 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 EC1, 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.
