End of tenancy painting for landlords and letting agents
Most of our rental property painting runs to the same rhythm. Tenant out one week, painters in the next, keys back ready for viewings. Since 2020 I have run these turnarounds for landlords and managing agents across SE and SW London, and I am on site for the work myself. What an agent wants is not the headline price. It is knowing the same crew will hit the void window every time and leave a flat that photographs well.
Rental property painting we turn around
Our rental property painting covers the sizes that move fastest in London: studios and one-beds, the standard two-bed flat, three-bed family houses, and single HMO rooms between tenancies. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 working days from the tenant moving out. When a back-to-back tenancy leaves no room to wait, we run express two to three day jobs at weekend or evening rates.
End of lease painting across South London
We do most of our end of lease painting in Anerley, Penge, Crystal Palace, Catford, Lewisham, Sydenham and Forest Hill, the SE London rental markets clustered around the transport hubs, plus Clapham, Battersea, Tooting and Streatham in the south west. Flats turn over quickly here, and a slow decorator costs a landlord real rent. We hold rolling arrangements with several letting and managing agents in these boroughs.
How we work with agents and landlords across a portfolio
For anyone running more than one property, chasing a quote on every turnaround is the part that wastes time. A standing arrangement takes that out, so the agent gets a confirmed date the same day a tenant gives notice. The aim is that a portfolio landlord stops thinking about who paints the next void.
Portfolio rates and priority booking
We price per property type and bill monthly rather than per job, with priority booking through the peak turnover months of January and September. Portfolio rates of 10 to 15 percent off standard apply when we work through the same agent or landlord on three or more properties a year. We keep colour specs on file for each address, so a touch-up years later matches without repainting a whole wall.
Handover photos and fixed scope
At the end of every job I photograph the finished flat and send the images straight to the agent, ready for Rightmove and OpenRent without booking a separate photographer. Scope is fixed at the survey. Tenant damage, structural plaster repair, mould treatment or exterior work is quoted separately and never lands as a surprise extra, because we work to a written scope agreed before the first coat goes on.
Standards we work to on end of tenancy decorating
End of tenancy decorating has to survive a 12 to 18 month tenancy and look right in listing photos, so we use trade-grade paint and match the system to each surface. Safety compliance is built into how we work, not bolted on for older buildings. A single void flat gets the same standard as a portfolio handover.
Trade paint and durable finishes
Walls get Dulux Trade Diamond Matt or Crown Clean Extreme, both scuff-resistant and washable so they hold up to a full tenancy. Ceilings take trade brilliant white. Woodwork gets a water-based satinwood from Dulux Trade or Tikkurila. Bathrooms use a water-resistant system, Dulux Trade Bathrooms+, with proper silicone sealing where paint meets tiling.
Lead, asbestos and HMO compliance
On pre-1992 properties we test with 3M LeadCheck swabs at the survey, because the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 prohibit unprotected sanding of lead-paint layers, and we use HSE-compliant containment for any heavy stripping. In HMOs we keep fire-rated doors operational, test mains-wired smoke alarms at handover, and preserve escape-route signage. We carry CHAS certification, Public Liability insurance to 5 million pounds, and full Asbestos Awareness training for older buildings where artex ceilings or floor tiles may contain asbestos.
Who you are dealing with
All Well Property Services is registered at Unit 1 Limes Avenue, Anerley, London SE20 8QR, Companies House number 12721034. I run the rental work personally, which is why agents get the same finish on the fifth flat as the first.
Reviews and local accountability
We hold 57 verified Google reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5 stars, most of them from clients within a few miles of the Anerley base. Because we are local, an agent can hold us to account on the next turnaround, and we both know it.

“Joel is 100% reliable, patient, skillful and easy to have around. He repainted my hall, landing and stairs over two floors and made good a disastrous previous plastering problem. I am thrilled with the result and recommend him extremely highly!”

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.
