property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Spitalfields and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across E1 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
Spitalfields has some of the most remarkable houses in London — the early-Georgian weavers' houses of Fournier Street, Princelet Street and Elder Street, restored over decades and now among the most valuable period homes in the East End, alongside warehouse conversions and new apartments around the market and Brick Lane. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the premium standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that E1 owners expect.

Discretion, quality and professionalism are standard.
Spitalfields' housing stock is unusual — a concentration of Grade II and II* listed early-18th-century houses with original panelling, staircases and shutters, Victorian warehouses converted into lofts, mansion blocks, and modern apartments around Spitalfields Market and Commercial Street. Working here means listed-building sensitivity, no parking and narrow staircases — we're used to all of it.
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
Spitalfields
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Spitalfields is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across 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.
Spitalfields properties require the finest heritage decorating finishes — traditional and breathable paint systems on original lime plaster and timber panelling, careful restoration of mouldings, hand-painted shutters, sash windows and staircases, and the ability to work in occupied listed homes with minimal disruption. Our decorators are experienced at this level.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Spitalfields include: heritage redecoration of Georgian houses including panelled rooms, shutters and staircases, warehouse loft refreshes including exposed brick and timber treatment, full apartment redecorations between tenancies, spray-finished doors and joinery, and period colour schemes for owner-occupiers who want the detail done properly.
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.

A full refurbishment in Spitalfields 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 Spitalfields demand experience with heritage-sensitive, high-specification work — bathrooms and kitchens fitted into Georgian layouts, new flooring and full redecoration in listed houses, and design-led loft projects — delivered around listed-building consent, no on-street parking, narrow staircases and permitted working hours. We handle the coordination so you don't have to.
We've completed refurbishments across Spitalfields 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 E1, 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.
