Holborn Painters & Decorators
Homes, flats & landlord decoration
A home above a busy street can be calm without becoming anonymous. We consider the daylight, fixed materials and movement between rooms, then develop a decorating scope that suits the way the property is occupied.
Discuss your project
A room scheme that follows the light
Compare wall samples at the window and in the less exposed part of the room. Include the evening lighting and any timber or stone that will remain. Agree ceilings and joinery alongside the walls, especially where several doorways are visible together. Wallpaper, cupboards and internal shutters should appear as named items when they are included.
Occupied rooms need usable space
Explain which rooms can be cleared and which must remain accessible. Plan furniture movement, protection and the route through the home before settling the order of work. Let us know about a home office, storage limitations or a household member’s particular requirements. These details affect the programme as directly as the number of rooms.
A rental refresh with a defined instruction
For a landlord or letting agent, identify the approving owner, the keyholder and the proposed next occupancy. Use the property’s condition record to describe the decoration needed, with unresolved leaks or other defects listed separately. Confirm whether the intention is a local repair, complete walls or a wider repaint so the quotation can be assessed against a precise result.
The flat and the building have different responsibilities
A private interior commission may sit within a conversion, a mansion block or a council-managed building. Supply the relevant contractor and lease instructions, particularly for shared access and external window faces. Where an entrance door or common landing is proposed, establish who may commission it before adding that work to the private-flat schedule.
A Holborn decorating brief
Bring the rooms
into the conversation.
Tell us how the property is used, which surfaces need attention and who will approve the work. For an office, include the hours when rooms are available; for a home, let us know what will remain in place.
Describe the proposed work
Include the Holborn address, the rooms or frontage involved, and any restrictions set by the building manager.
