Local decorating for Soho & Covent Garden

Painting and decorating in central London is different: busy streets, limited access windows, mixed-use buildings, and spaces that often need to stay operational. We’re used to working cleanly and respectfully - especially in customer-facing environments - and coordinating decorating alongside other maintenance work when needed.

If you’re not sure what you need, describe the issue in plain English. Photos help, and we’ll advise the next step.

How we can help

  • Interior painting (walls, ceilings, feature walls)

Residential & commercial plumbing

  • Residential: Careful prep and tidy finishing for lived-in spaces - ideal for single rooms, full flats, and periodic refreshes.

  • Commercial: Efficient decorating that supports trading and operations - offices, shops, restaurants, corridors and front-of-house areas.

    Where appropriate, we can schedule work out of hours by appointment to reduce disruption (evenings/weekends), depending on the project and access

Fast turnaround and refresh work (local W1 team)

Sometimes decorating is time-sensitive: a tenant is moving in, a shop needs a refresh, or an office needs to look presentable quickly. Because we’re local, we can often schedule quickly and keep timelines realistic - subject to availability and access.

  • Time-sensitive refreshes prioritised where possible

  • Local W1 scheduling efficiency

  • Local appointments confirmed case-by-case
