Painting that's aimed at buyers.
Paint is the highest-return thing you can do to a property you're about to market, and the easiest one to get subtly wrong. Too white and rooms photograph flat and cold. Too much personality and buyers start pricing in redecoration. We paint for the camera and for the viewing.

From around £2,800 as a standalone job; cheaper bundled into a full refresh.
What's included
- Walls, ceilings, skirting, architrave, doors and window reveals
- Filling and sanding before anything goes on — the prep is most of the finish
- Warm neutral palette chosen for the light in each room
- Dust sheeting, protection and a clean site each evening
- Touch-ups after the rest of the work, so nothing gets scuffed at the last minute
What we don't do
- Wallpapering and specialist finishes
- External render or full exterior repaint of a house (small exterior jobs are fine)
- Lead paint removal or asbestos work
Who it's for
Anyone marketing a property where the walls are the first thing you notice.
Timeline
A two-bed flat is usually 3 to 5 days including prep.
Common questions
- What colour should I paint before selling?
- A warm off-white on walls and a clean white on ceilings and woodwork works in almost every room. Cool greys can look flat in north-facing rooms — we adjust by room rather than painting the whole flat one colour.
- How much does it cost to paint a house before selling?
- In south west London, expect roughly £2,800 for a small flat and £8,000 upwards for a family house, including prep and materials. Our quotes are fixed, not day rates.
