Good decorating is ninety per cent preparation. We price for it, and we do it.
Filling, sanding, caulking, priming; cutting in by hand; two full coats of trade-quality paint. That is what a proper interior house repaint, a flat repaint or a shop or office repaint takes, and it is what our estimates allow for — not the cheapest possible day rate.
Every job starts with the same honest step: an itemised, indicative range from a published rate table, before you share a phone number. A decorator then reads the brief and confirms a fixed written quote (who does the work).
Halls, stairs and landings
The tallest walls in the house, and the ones every visitor sees
Stairwells, spindles, handrails and hard-wearing finishes for the busiest part of a home — including the double-height Victorian stairwells that need towers and patience.
Exterior painting
Render, masonry, sashes and front doors that stand up to a London winter
Bay-fronted terraces, stucco, railings and gates — prepared properly, painted in the right weather, with access equipment priced honestly rather than hidden.

★★★★★Lewisham Painters are an excellent company. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. Their quote was very competitive, with no unexpected or hidden costs along the way. They arrived on time every day, treated both our home and our pets with the utmost care and respect, and the quality of their work was exceptional. Tamara is a true perfectionist, and it really shows in the finished result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lewisham Painters to friends and family, and we’ll definitely be using them again for future projects.
★★★★★I recently had my home repainted by Lewisham Painters and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first contact to the final finish, everything was handled professionally. The team was polite, punctual, tidy and paid great attention to detail throughout the job. The paintwork completely transformed the space and gave the house a fresh, modern feel. They also took the time to prepare everything properly rather than rushing the work, which really showed in the final result. It’s hard to find reliable tradespeople these days, but Lewisham Painters exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality painting and decorating services in London.
★★★★★I recently used Lewisham Painters on one of our property projects and was genuinely impressed with the quality of work and professionalism throughout the job. The finish was clean, sharp and completed to a high standard. Communication was excellent from start to finish, the team arrived on time, kept the area tidy and completed everything exactly as agreed. As a builder, it’s important for us to work with reliable tradespeople we can trust, and Lewisham Painters definitely delivered. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for professional painting and decorating services in London. Will definitely be using them again on future projects.

Colour
Confident colour needs crisp edges
Deep walls against clean white woodwork only work when the cutting-in is done by hand and the woodwork is prepared first. Ask the quote about colour changes — it prices the extra coats.
Wall painting and colour changesLewisham
One borough, very different homes
Brockley, Telegraph Hill and Blackheath bring tall Victorian ceilings, cornicing and sash windows. Catford, Hither Green and Honor Oak are largely Edwardian terraces. Bellingham and Downham are 1920s cottage estates; Grove Park and Southend mostly 1930s semis. Deptford and Lewisham Central mix Georgian survivors with new-build flats.
Those differences change how long a job takes and what it needs, so the Instant Quote asks about the property first. Many streets are in controlled parking zones — something we ask about up front rather than discover on the day.

Common questions
How much does it cost to paint a room in Lewisham?
A double bedroom with walls, ceiling, woodwork, one door and one window typically comes to £730–£1,140 excluding VAT. Taller period ceilings, poor surfaces and big colour changes add to it. The Instant Quote prices your own rooms in a few minutes.
How long does interior painting take?
Most single rooms take one to two days including preparation and two coats. A whole flat or house is usually three to seven days depending on size, condition and how much woodwork there is.
Is the online price a quote?
No. It is an indicative range worked out from your answers using our published rate table. A decorator reviews everything you sent, including photos, and confirms a fixed written quote — after a short video call or visit if the job needs one.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. Repaints between tenants, end-of-tenancy touch-ups and full refreshes for landlords, letting agents and property managers across Lewisham are a large part of what we do. Say who you are in the quote and it adapts.
Which areas do you cover?
The London Borough of Lewisham — Catford, Brockley, Forest Hill, Sydenham, Deptford, Blackheath, Hither Green, Lee, New Cross, Ladywell, Honor Oak and the rest — plus neighbouring parts of Southwark, Lambeth and Greenwich.
