Reliability, tidiness and a quality finish are standard.
West Kensington's housing stock is largely late-Victorian — red-brick mansion blocks (including some of the earliest in London), tall terraces converted into flats, and garden squares like Gunterstone Road and Edith Road — alongside post-war estates and new developments near Olympia. 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
West Kensington
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in West Kensington is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across W14 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.
West Kensington properties need decorating that's both high quality and quick — landlords want flats back on the market fast, mansion-block residents want a clean finish with minimal disruption, and owner-occupiers on the garden squares want period detail respected. Our decorators handle all three.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in West Kensington include: between-tenancy repaints of converted and mansion flats, ceiling and cornice repairs, hand-painted sash windows, skirting boards and internal doors, communal hallway and staircase redecoration for freehold companies, whole-house redecorations on the garden squares, and feature walls 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.
