Pre-sale refurbishment
in Kensington.
Prepare a Kensington flat or house for sale with a focused refurbishment scope. Tom Harvey Contractors coordinates repairs, premium redecoration, flooring and targeted kitchen or bathroom improvements before photography, viewings and handover.
Kensington homes.
Considered finishes.
Preparing a Kensington flat for sale needs a defined scope and a realistic marketing date. Review surfaces, joinery, floors and kitchen or bathroom details with the agent. Identify defects needing proper repair and presentation work that makes the interior feel consistent in photographs and viewings.
In a mansion block or converted house, establish working hours, delivery access and shared-area protection before confirming the programme. Keep optional upgrades separate from essential repairs. Avoid ordering replacement flooring or installations before checking lease requirements and the actual substrate.
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.

for your property.
Pre-sale refurbishment
Prepare rooms for photography and viewings with planned decoration, floor repairs and targeted kitchen or bathroom improvements. Agree priorities with the selling agent before deciding whether a serviceable installation needs replacement.
Pre-sale refurbishment →End of tenancy refurbishment
Combine the check-out list with planned renewal. Price 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 choosing a patch repair or whole-room finish.
Post-leak reinstatement →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.

A clear quotation.
A practical programme.
Send photographs and a room-by-room brief, including the finish you want and your preferred timing. We assess condition, measurements and access as needed before confirming a written scope.
The price depends on floor area, preparation, access and specification. A decorating and flooring refresh is a different scope from replacing kitchens and bathrooms. The quotation should show the agreed work, materials, exclusions and VAT. Changes discovered or requested later should be priced and agreed before additional work proceeds.
We plan repairs and dusty preparation before vulnerable final finishes. At handover, review the agreed scope, record any snags and confirm next steps.
