Shoreditch's trusted
property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Shoreditch and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across EC2 & E1 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
Shoreditch is East London's creative heart — converted warehouses and workshops turned into lofts, the Georgian weavers' houses of Spitalfields and Columbia Road, the new towers around Old Street and Shoreditch High Street, and the terraces and estates of Hoxton. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that EC2 & E1 owners expect.

Reliability, quality and professionalism are standard.
Shoreditch's housing stock is a genuine mix — warehouse and factory conversions with exposed brick and timber, listed 18th-century houses in the Spitalfields and Boundary Estate conservation areas, Victorian terraces in Hoxton, post-war estates and a wave of modern apartment towers. A high proportion is rented, 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
Shoreditch
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Shoreditch is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across EC2 & E1 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.
Shoreditch properties require a clean, precise, design-led decorating finish — crisp flat walls and spray-finished joinery in the lofts and new builds, heritage finishes in the Georgian houses, and fast, tidy turnarounds in the rental flats. Our decorators handle all three.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Shoreditch include: full redecorations of loft apartments including exposed brick and timber treatment, between-tenancy repaints, upgrading developer-standard paintwork in new builds, heritage redecoration of Georgian houses with panelling repairs, 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.
