End of Tenancy Painting across London
End of tenancy painting is a specific job — not a normal repaint dressed up. You need speed, a neutral 'lettable' colour scheme, invoice-ready pricing that stands up against a deposit dispute, and — critically — a decorator who understands the state a real move-out property is in. Nicotine walls, biro marks, picture-hook holes on every wall, chipped skirting from vacuum cleaners, and the occasional patch of felt-tip pen. We've seen it all.
Our standard end-of-tenancy spec is designed for the letting market: Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt in Magnolia or White Cotton on walls, Brilliant White satinwood on all trim, ceilings brilliant white, front door refreshed. Every hole filled, every stain Zinsser-blocked, every wall two full coats. Photograph-ready in 3–5 working days for a standard 2-bed flat and 5–8 days for a 3–4 bed house.
We work regularly with London letting agents, portfolio landlords and outgoing tenants trying to protect their deposit. Invoices are itemised and dated so they hold up as evidence in a deposit-scheme dispute (TDS, DPS, MyDeposits). If you're the tenant, we can also provide a before/after photo report as documentation.

End of Tenancy Painting questions, answered
How much does end of tenancy painting cost in London?+
A typical 1-bed flat repaint runs £550–£850, a 2-bed £850–£1,400, a 3-bed £1,400–£2,200 — assuming standard prep and neutral colours. Nicotine walls, heavy damage or non-standard colours push it higher. Fixed written quotes always.
How quickly can you start?+
For agent and landlord work we're typically on-site within 5–7 working days. Emergency voids (tenant already gone, new tenant lined up) — we can often start within 48 hours.
Can the tenant pay for this against their deposit?+
Often, yes — but only with a proper invoice and evidence of the damage or repaint need. Our itemised invoices are designed to satisfy TDS, DPS and MyDeposits dispute-scheme requirements.
Do you do just touch-ups, or is it always a full repaint?+
Both. Small touch-ups (10–20 patches) start around £220. A full repaint is usually better value once damage is widespread — colour never touches-up perfectly on aged emulsion.
Will you coordinate with the cleaner and handyman?+
Yes — we regularly hand off to end-of-tenancy cleaning teams and small-works handymen. If you give us keys and a target date, we'll run the sequencing.
