Painting & Decorating in Croydon
Painting and decorating across Croydon — single rooms, whole flats, sash window restoration, external doors and trim. Day rate £220/painter or fixed per room (£320 for walls + ceiling, prep included).
Walls and ceiling with proper prep — sanding, filling holes, taping skirting and architraves, dust-sheeting the floor. Two coats minimum, three if the base colour bleeds through (we tell you up front).
Studio to 3-bed flats end-to-end, typically 3–6 painter-days. We sequence rooms so you keep one habitable while the rest dries, and we stage furniture rather than move it out.
Sash window restoration (rebrush after sand-back, glaze putty), external doors (primer + 2 topcoats), Farrow & Ball matte finishes done right (cutting in by brush, not roller). Lincrusta and picture rail work on quote.
Croydon local information
Trams run on a one-way loop through central Croydon, with stops at West Croydon, Wellesley Road, George Street, Church Street and Centrale, and lines out to Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End and New Addington. The town centre has its own Centre Permit Zone, so tell us where a van can stop clear of the tracks.
Census 2021 shows the split. Fairfield, the town-centre ward, is 71% purpose-built flats, including towers such as the 43-storey Saffron Square, while Sanderstead, Selsdon and Old Coulsdon are 75–80% detached or semi-detached houses. Thornton Heath is mostly Victorian, with terraces and converted flats. Tell us the floor, the lift and the stairs when you book.
At the time of writing (November 2026), Croydon Council charges £40.40 to collect one to three bulky items and £65.30 for four to six. Sofas, armchairs and mattresses with treated foam count as POPs waste and come on a separate visit, and everything must be at the front of the home, at pavement level, the night before.
About 26% of Croydon households rent privately (Census 2021). Under the council's Selective Licensing Scheme 2026, landlords need a licence for privately rented homes in 14 wards, including Fairfield, Thornton Heath, South Norwood, Selhurst, Addiscombe East and West, and both Norbury wards. Between tenancies, the end of tenancy clean and small repairs can be booked in the same week.
Surrey Street Market in the town centre trades Monday to Saturday 6am–6pm and Sunday 10.30am–5pm, so allow for stalls when choosing a loading time nearby. Selhurst Park in SE25, home of Crystal Palace, holds about 25,000 fans: check the fixture list before fixing a move or clearance near Selhurst, South Norwood or Thornton Heath.
Croydon is well outside the central London Congestion Charge zone, but the ULEZ has covered every London borough, Croydon included, since August 2023. It runs 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day. If you are hiring your own van, check it with TfL's vehicle checker; Hausio quotes travel and access after reviewing your postcode.
