Post-leak refurbishment
in London.
Restore the rooms affected by an escape of water with a coordinated reinstatement scope. Tom Harvey Contractors handles post-leak refurbishment in London, bringing ceiling and wall repairs, redecoration, flooring and damaged joinery into one written quotation.
A coordinated refurbishment
London homes.
Considered finishes.
The first question is whether the water source has been resolved and the affected construction is ready for reinstatement. A ceiling stain may be only the visible part of the damage. Assess which plaster, boards, floor finishes and joinery can be retained and what needs replacing before final decorating is specified.
In a flat, the leak may originate in another property or a shared service. Access, drying and coordination with the owner or managing agent can determine the programme as much as visible repairs. Keep photographs, dates and reports available. We can price the agreed reinstatement work; the insurer or appointed adviser determines any claim coverage. Separate unrelated upgrades from the reinstatement scope.
Our work brings decorating, flooring, kitchen fitting, bathroom fitting and associated repairs into one agreed scope. Start with the outcome you need and the rooms involved. We can then separate essential work from optional improvements and establish the preparation each finish requires.

Pre-sale refurbishment
Prepare rooms for photography and viewings with planned decoration, floor repairs and targeted kitchen or bathroom improvements. Agree priorities with your selling agent before deciding whether a serviceable installation needs replacement.
Pre-sale refurbishment guide →End of tenancy refurbishment
Combine the check-out list with planned renewal. Price essential repairs separately from optional upgrades, then coordinate redecoration, flooring and installation work for a coherent handover before the next letting.
Tenancy refurbishment →Post-leak refurbishment
Bring ceiling, wall, flooring and joinery reinstatement into one scope after the water source has been resolved and affected materials are ready for finishing. Assess the damage before deciding between a patch repair and a whole-room finish.
Post-leak reinstatement →Preparation and finishing.
Every detail agreed.
A good decorating specification identifies surface repairs, treatment of woodwork, paint products and colours. For flooring, establish the substrate, thresholds, skirting details and any acoustic requirements before ordering the finish.
For a leasehold property, listed building or work affecting shared areas, establish the relevant permissions and building conditions before confirming the programme. Specialist design and approval requirements should be identified early.
What we can include
- Walls, ceilings, doors, skirting and architraves
- Plaster repairs and preparation where agreed
- Engineered wood, herringbone, LVT and carpets
- Kitchen and bathroom improvements
- Protection, waste and handover requirements
A clear quotation.
A practical programme.
Send photographs and a room-by-room brief, including the finish you want to achieve and your preferred timing. We assess condition, measurements and access as needed before confirming a written scope.
The quotation should show the agreed work, preparation, materials, exclusions and VAT. Changes discovered or requested later should be priced and agreed before the additional work proceeds. See our refurbishment service page for the wider service.
We plan repairs and dusty preparation before vulnerable final finishes. At handover, review the agreed scope, record any snags and confirm the next steps. View our portfolio for examples of our work, with each project’s location identified separately.
