Our end-of-tenancy painting experience
End-of-tenancy painting is one of our most volume-driven services. Since 2020 we have run rental-property turnaround projects for letting agents and landlords across SE and SW London. Project mix covers 2-bed flat turnarounds (the most common London rental size), studio and 1-bed flats, 3-bed family houses, and HMO room turnarounds. Standard turnaround is 3-5 working days from tenant moving out, with express 2-3 day turnarounds available at weekend or evening rates. The boroughs where we work most often for end-of-tenancy work: Anerley, Penge, Crystal Palace, Catford, Lewisham, Sydenham, Forest Hill in SE London (strong rental markets near transport hubs); Clapham, Battersea, Tooting, Streatham in SW London. We have rolling arrangements with several letting and managing agents in these areas.
Standards and process on rental turnarounds
Trade-grade paint as standard. We use Dulux Trade Diamond Matt or Crown Clean Extreme on walls — both scuff-resistant and washable, designed for rental durability through a 12-18 month tenancy cycle. Trade brilliant white on ceilings. Water-based satinwood on woodwork from Dulux Trade or Tikkurila. Lead paint testing on pre-1992 properties. The Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 prohibit unprotected sanding of lead-paint layers. We test with 3M LeadCheck swabs at the survey and use HSE-compliant containment if any heavy stripping is needed. Waterproofing on bathroom touch-ups. Bathroom decoration uses water-resistant paint systems (Dulux Trade Bathrooms+) and proper silicone sealing where painting meets tiling. For HMO properties (houses in multiple occupation), we comply with the additional fire safety requirements — fire-rated doors must remain operational, mains-wired smoke alarms tested at handover, and any escape route signage preserved. We carry CHAS certification for site safety, Public Liability insurance to £5 million, and full Asbestos Awareness training (relevant for older buildings where artex ceilings or floor tiles may contain asbestos).
How we work with letting agents and landlords
Standing arrangements. For agents and landlords with multiple properties, we operate on agreed pricing per property type, priority booking during peak turnover months (January, September), and monthly invoicing rather than per-project billing. This eliminates quote-chasing and gives the agent a confirmed turnaround date the same day a tenant gives notice. Portfolio rates. 10-15% off standard rates apply when working through the same agent or landlord on three or more properties per year. We hold colour specs on file for each property so touch-ups years later match exactly without needing to repaint a whole wall. Photography at handover. We photograph the finished property at the end of every job and send the images to the agent — useful for Rightmove and OpenRent listings without booking a separate photographer. Fixed-price contracts. Standard scope is firm at the survey. Additional work (tenant damage, structural plaster repair, mould treatment, exterior work) is quoted separately rather than appearing as a surprise extra. We operate from Unit 1 Limes Avenue, Anerley, London SE20 8QR. Companies House number 12721034. 57 verified Google reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly can you turn around an end-of-tenancy repaint?
- We can complete most end-of-tenancy repaints within 3 to 5 working days for a standard 2-bed flat, or 4-7 days for a 3-bed house. Our typical turnaround is tenants out Friday, painters in Monday, keys back by Thursday or Friday the following week. For urgent situations — such as back-to-back tenancies or last-minute move-outs — we offer weekend and evening availability at a small premium of approximately 15% to minimise void periods, which is significantly less than the cost of an extra week of lost rent. Across end-of-tenancy projects in South East London since 2020, typical completion time for a 2-bed flat is around 4 working days. We coordinate directly with letting agents across boroughs including Lewisham, Greenwich, Bromley, and Southwark to schedule access, and we leave the property clean, ventilated, and ready for listing photos and viewings immediately after completion.
- What colours do you use for end-of-tenancy painting?
- We use neutral, tenant-friendly colours that appeal to the widest range of applicants and photograph well for online listings on Rightmove, Zoopla, and OpenRent. Our standard specification is brilliant white (Dulux Trade Brilliant White) for ceilings, light grey such as Dulux Trade Polished Pebble or Chic Shadow for walls, and white satinwood for all woodwork including doors, skirting boards, architraves, and window frames. These colours make rooms look bright, clean, and spacious in listing photos — which is critical since the vast majority of tenants begin their search online. They are also easy to touch up between tenancies with a small tin and a brush without needing to repaint entire rooms, saving you money on future turnarounds. If you or your letting agent have a preferred colour scheme or a specific brand specification such as Farrow & Ball or Little Greene, we are happy to work to that exact specification and can colour-match across your portfolio for consistency.
- Do you offer bulk rates for landlords with multiple properties?
- Yes, we offer discounted rates for landlords and letting agents managing multiple properties across South East London. Discounts start at 10% for two or more properties booked together and increase to 15-20% for ongoing portfolio arrangements of five or more properties per year. We currently work with several letting agents across boroughs including Lewisham, Greenwich, Bromley, Southwark, and Lambeth on rolling contracts — they schedule us between tenancies and we provide a consistent standard of finish across their entire portfolio. For regular clients, we maintain a detailed record of the exact colours, paint brands, and finishes used in each property so touch-ups between tenancies match perfectly without needing a full repaint. We also offer priority scheduling for portfolio clients, meaning we can usually start within 48 hours of notification. Get in touch with details of your portfolio and we will provide a tailored quote with volume pricing.
