Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Paddington is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across W2 for over a decade — with the reviews to prove it.

We work on everything from single room refreshes in rented apartments to full flat redecorations for landlords and homeowners. Our decorators are experienced, tidy, and genuinely care about the finish they leave behind.

Paddington's large Victorian properties often have high ceilings, original cornicing and spacious rooms that benefit from experienced decorators. We handle full redecorations, feature walls and woodwork to a high standard.

Popular decorating jobs we handle in Paddington include: full flat redecorations between tenancies, feature walls and living room transformations, ceiling and coving repairs and repainting, woodwork painting including skirting boards, doors and frames, and Farrow & Ball or premium paint 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
Paddington

Need a full property refurbishment in Paddington? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across W2 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat transformations covering every trade under one roof.

A full flat refurbishment in Canary Wharf 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 Paddington range from complete flat turnarounds for landlords to full Victorian house renovations. We manage every trade — kitchen, bathroom, flooring and decoration — under one contract.

We've completed refurbishments across Paddington 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 W2, 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 Paddington

Redecorating a one-bedroom flat in Canary Wharf typically costs between £800 and £1,500 for labour and standard materials. A two-bedroom flat ranges from £1,500 to £2,500 depending on condition, prep work needed, and finish quality. We always provide a fixed lump-sum price upfront — no surprises. For smaller jobs, we charge £85/hr + VAT.
LVT (luxury vinyl tile) is the most popular choice for rental properties in W2. It's water-resistant, extremely durable, looks great in photos, and is easy to clean between tenancies. Engineered hardwood is a popular choice for owner-occupiers who want a more premium finish. We supply and fit both — come to us with your preferred look and budget and we'll recommend the best option.
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. We agree a clear timeline at quote stage so you know exactly when your property will be ready. We work efficiently to minimise your void period.
Yes — we work regularly in Paddington and understand the specific requirements of the area's property types. We're reliable, tidy and professional on every job — whether it's a managed building, a period terrace or a new-build development.
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. 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.
