Earls Court SW5

Earls Court's trusted
property contractors.

Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Earls Court and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across SW5 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.

Earls Court sits between Kensington and Chelsea's grandest streets and the quieter squares of Barons Court — a neighbourhood of tall Victorian terraces, garden squares like Nevern Square and Earl's Court Square, and a large stock of converted flats. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that SW5 owners expect.

Whether you own a garden-square flat let to professionals, a whole house on Bramham Gardens, or a portfolio of studios and one-beds near the station — we understand the expectations of Earls Court clients and consistently deliver to them. Reliability, tidiness and a quality finish are standard.

Earls Court's housing stock is overwhelmingly late-Victorian — five-storey terraces long since converted into flats, with high ceilings, cornicing and original sash windows, plus the ongoing regeneration of the former exhibition centre site. The area has one of the highest concentrations of rental flats in the Royal Borough, so between-tenancy turnarounds are a large 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
Earls Court

Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Earls Court is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across SW5 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.

Earls Court properties need decorating that's both high quality and quick — landlords want flats back on the market fast, while owner-occupiers in the garden squares want period detail respected. Our decorators handle both: tidy, efficient work with a finish that photographs well and lasts.

Popular decorating jobs we handle in Earls Court include: full between-tenancy redecorations of converted flats, ceiling and cornice repairs, woodwork painting including skirting boards, sash windows and internal doors, communal hallway redecoration for freehold companies, and premium specialist finishes for owner-occupiers on the garden squares.

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.

We manage every trade so you have a single point of contact from survey to handover.

Full refurbishments in Earls Court 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 high-specification whole-house projects on the garden squares.

We've completed refurbishments across Earls Court 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.

FAQ

Questions about painting, flooring
& refurbishment in Earls Court

Redecorating a one-bedroom flat in Earls Court typically costs from £1,600 for a full repaint of walls, ceilings and woodwork, and a studio from around £1,100. A two-bedroom flat starts from around £2,200 depending on condition, ceiling height and how much prep is needed. 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 Earls Court, Kensington and West Brompton and understand the specific requirements of the area's Victorian conversions, garden-square houses and mansion blocks. We're reliable, tidy and professional on every job, and we're used to working with letting agents and building managers on access.
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 Earls Court 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 SW5. 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.
