New-build finishing
to the standard you paid for.
Developer paintwork that's one thin coat, mis-cut skirting, cracked grout, nail pops and doors that don't close — we fix the snags the developer won't, and upgrade the finish: proper redecoration, real flooring, built-in wardrobes and lighting that makes a new apartment feel like a home.
Why new-builds need
finishing properly.
Most London new-builds are handed over with a single thin coat of contract emulsion, minimal caulking, cheap laminate or carpet, and a snag list the developer takes months to address. Within a year the walls mark, the grout cracks and the doors drop. A full redecoration to a proper standard costs £2,200–£3,800 + VAT on a two-bedroom apartment and transforms it.
The most valuable upgrades are redecoration with two full coats of quality paint and proper caulking, replacing the developer's flooring with engineered wood or quality LVT on acoustic underlay, built-in wardrobes and storage (new-builds rarely have enough), better lighting, and fixing snags the developer has closed off or missed.
Tom Harvey Contractors provides free site visits and itemised written quotes within 48 hours, and we're used to the rules of new developments — concierge access, lift bookings, permitted hours and the warranty implications of touching the developer's work.
