Painting & Decorating in Westminster
Painting and decorating across Westminster — 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.
Westminster local information
The zone's edge follows Park Lane, Edgware Road and Marylebone Road, and Vauxhall Bridge Road in the south. Mayfair, Soho, St James's and Marylebone south of Marylebone Road are inside; Bayswater, Paddington, Maida Vale, St John's Wood, Belgravia and Pimlico are outside. Charging hours are 07:00–18:00 on weekdays and 12:00–18:00 at weekends and on bank holidays.
On-street parking across Westminster is split into controlled zones A to G. A parking bay suspension for a removal van needs 10 working days' notice, with a £20 fee for requests inside 10 calendar days, and a single yellow line dispensation for loading may be possible with at least three days' notice — ask the council. Fix the date early if you want the van outside.
Seven in ten Westminster homes are in purpose-built blocks, rising to 75% in Maida Vale ward, known for its late Victorian and Edwardian mansion flats. In Pimlico North, Little Venice and Bayswater, a quarter to a third of homes are flats in converted houses (Census 2021): Pimlico's Cubitt stucco terraces and Bayswater's Victorian stucco squares, some subdivided.
At the time of writing (November 2026), Westminster charges £36 to collect up to six bulky items and £6.40 for each extra item, aiming to collect within three working days. Items must be left in a front garden, communal reception or bin store, crews only take what two people can lift, and landlords and businesses must use the commercial service.
About 43% of Westminster households rent privately, against 27% who own their home (Census 2021). A home can be let short-term for up to 90 nights in a calendar year without planning permission; beyond that the council requires it. If you let a flat between guests or tenants, book the clean around the check-in time, not after it.
On major match days at Lord's, resident bays near St John's Wood are for permit holders only from 8.30am to 6.30pm, including weekends and bank holidays. Church Street Market by Lisson Grove, Berwick Street in Soho and Tachbrook Street in Pimlico trade Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, so loading on those streets needs planning.
