Professional Decorating Services in London

Painting and decorating across Greater London. Interior, exterior, wallpapering, plastering, and commercial decorating — delivered with care and precision.

What's Included

A well-decorated property makes a lasting impression — whether it's a freshly painted rental flat ready for new tenants, a family home given a new lease of life, or a commercial space refreshed between tenants. Fort Maintenance's decorating team works to a high standard on every job, taking time with preparation — because the quality of the final finish is only as good as the surface it's applied to. From a single room to a full property, we deliver clean, professional results on time and within budget.

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings, woodwork, and radiators
  • Exterior painting and weatherproof coatings
  • Wallpaper hanging and stripping
  • Plastering, skim coats, and artex removal
  • Feature walls, colour consultation, and design input
  • Commercial decorating — offices, retail, hospitality, and blocks

Why Choose Fort Maintenance for Decorating?

Preparation First

We don't rush the prep. Filling, sanding, priming, and masking are done properly so the final coat looks immaculate and lasts. A professional finish starts long before the brush hits the wall.

On Time, Every Time

We understand that decoration projects often need to fit around your schedule — tenant move-in dates, office reopening days, or family plans. We commit to a timeline and stick to it.

Clean and Tidy

We protect your furniture and flooring, keep dust to a minimum, and leave every room spotless at the end of the job. You shouldn't have to clean up after your decorator.

Common Decorating Jobs We Handle

Peeling or Flaking Paint

Old or poorly applied paint peels, cracks, or flakes over time. We strip back to a sound surface, prepare properly, and apply a fresh coat that adheres correctly and lasts.

Damp Staining

Tidemarked or discoloured walls from past damp issues need specialist treatment before redecorating. We use stain-block primers and address the underlying cause to ensure a clean, lasting finish.

Old Wallpaper Removal

Stripping wallpaper — particularly older, multiple-layer paper — can be messy and time-consuming. We handle the removal and repair any surface damage before hanging new paper or painting.

Coverage & Availability

We provide decorating services across all London boroughs including Hackney, Camden, Islington, Lambeth, Southwark, Croydon, Bromley, Lewisham, Barnet, Haringey, Ealing, Hammersmith, Wandsworth, and all surrounding areas. We serve both residential and commercial clients across Greater London.

Decorating FAQs

Do you supply the paint for decorating jobs?

Yes. We can supply all paints and materials, or work with paint you've chosen yourself. We have trade accounts with leading suppliers and can source premium paints at competitive prices.

How long does interior decorating take in London?

Timescales depend on the size of the job and the level of preparation required. A single room typically takes 1–2 days. A full flat or house can take anywhere from 3–10 days. We'll give you a realistic schedule when we quote so you can plan accordingly.

Can you decorate while the property is occupied?

Yes. We're accustomed to working in occupied homes and offices. We take care to minimise disruption, protect furniture and flooring, and ensure rooms are usable at the end of each working day where possible.

Do you offer commercial decorating in London?

Yes. We take on commercial decorating contracts across London including offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and communal areas in residential blocks. We can work outside business hours to minimise disruption to your operations.
