Reliability, quality and professionalism are standard.
Swiss Cottage's housing stock is a mix — 1930s and Edwardian mansion blocks (many portered), large Victorian villas converted into flats, family houses on the tree-lined avenues, and post-war and modern apartment buildings. A high proportion is rented and much of it is managed, so we're used to porters, service lifts, permitted hours and between-tenancy turnarounds.
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
Swiss Cottage
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Swiss Cottage is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across NW3 & NW6 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.
Swiss Cottage properties need decorating that's high quality and efficient — clean, precise finishes in the mansion blocks, heritage colours and cornice repairs in the villa conversions, and the ability to work in occupied, managed buildings with minimal disruption. Our decorators handle all of it.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Swiss Cottage include: full redecorations of mansion flats between tenancies, villa conversion redecoration with cornice and ceiling repairs, hand-painted sash windows and internal doors, communal hallway and staircase redecoration, whole-house redecorations on the avenues, 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.
