Property refurbishment

Tom Harvey Contractors provides refurbishment, painting and decorating, flooring and kitchen or bathroom improvements in Swiss Cottage. Discuss a coordinated project for your home, a pre-sale refresh, a rental turnaround or reinstatement after a leak.

A coordinated refurbishment

Swiss Cottage homes.
Considered finishes.

A Swiss Cottage apartment project needs a clear definition of the whole job. Decorating a bedroom after a repair differs from renewing floors, bathrooms and decoration throughout. Identify installations that affect several rooms, then establish lift access, deliveries, communal protection and working arrangements with the building manager.

A converted period property may bring uneven floor levels, plaster repairs and retained joinery. For a tenancy turnaround, separate replacement choices from isolated check-out defects. Following a leak, assessment and drying come before the finishing programme.

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.

The right scope
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.

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

Planning your project

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. View our portfolio for examples of our work, with each project location identified separately, and our refurbishment service guide for the wider service.

Your questions

Swiss Cottage refurbishment
questions answered.

Can a Swiss Cottage flat be refreshed without a full strip-out?
The scope can focus on redecoration, selected floors, joinery repairs and targeted kitchen or bathroom improvements. Assess what is serviceable and what you want to retain before specifying replacement installations.
How long will the work take?
The programme depends on the surveyed scope, access, material availability and any approvals. Tell us the proposed move-in, listing or letting date at enquiry stage. We assess the sequence and constraints before agreeing a programme.
Can I request a quote before a site visit?
Photographs, a floor plan or room sizes and a clear brief are useful for the first discussion. An accurate quotation may still need a survey to confirm condition, measurements, access and the chosen specification. Include whether the property is occupied.
