HMO & Property Manager Painters in London
HMO licences, fire door standards and communal area upkeep don't leave much room for a scruffy paint job. We keep licenced HMOs and managed blocks looking sharp and inspection-ready.
How we work with painters for hmos & property managers
Property managers across London use us for cyclical decoration of communal halls, stairs and landings in HMOs, HMO licensed properties and small blocks. We understand the LACORS guidance and local authority HMO standards well enough to keep you the right side of the licence conditions.
For fire doors we can apply intumescent basecoats and finish coats that preserve the door's 30- or 60-minute rating; we'll advise where a door is a re-hang rather than a re-paint job. We're comfortable working around tenants, contractors and cleaning schedules.
Invoicing works either per property or as a portfolio schedule — whichever suits your accounts.

Sector-specific questions
Can you decorate around occupied rooms?+
Yes — most of our HMO work is on live buildings. We agree noise and access hours in advance and post tenant notices before we start.
Do you paint fire doors correctly?+
Yes — we use intumescent basecoats and compatible finish coats so the door's 30- or 60-minute fire rating isn't compromised. We'll flag any door that's beyond repainting.
Can you set up a rolling maintenance programme?+
Absolutely. Most of our HMO managers work on an annual or bi-annual cycle. We agree a schedule and price up front and stick to it.
