Painting & Decorating in Kensington & Chelsea
Painting and decorating in Kensington & Chelsea is mostly single rooms and whole-flat repaints in period conversions and lettings. Prep is most of the job — sanding, filling and taping done properly — with Dulux Trade and Farrow & Ball finishes cut in by brush.
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.
