Paddington · City of WestminsterA brief that fits the building
Some projects start with a new palette. Others begin with a tenancy ending, rooms becoming available or owners agreeing a frontage repaint. We consider how the property is used alongside the condition of its surfaces.
01 / Terraces & garden squares
Bring the stucco, windows and ironwork into a single exterior schedule. For a house with several leaseholders, establish which surfaces are included and who will agree the colour and preparation.
Explore this service02 / Hotels & B&Bs
Plan a hotel or B&B repaint around the rooms available for work. Decoration, furniture moves and the final clean need a place in the programme before a room returns to the booking calendar.
Explore this service03 / Apartments & office interiors
Repaint a modern apartment for your own use or its next tenancy. Owners and lettings agents can bring the condition record, access arrangements and proposed occupation date into one brief.

The local setting
The hotel terraces around Sussex Gardens, homes on the Hyde Park Estate and contemporary apartments around Paddington Basin present different starting points. Our neighbourhood notes look at the buildings, their conservation context and the arrangements a repaint may need.
Check the designation of the individual property before proposing an exterior change. A district name or postcode is not a conservation boundary.
For the whole building
In a converted house, the route from the front door to the upper floors belongs in the same conversation as the people using it. Agree the stair sections, door faces and landings to be decorated, with protection and access considered at each stage.
Where the instruction includes a basement approach, record its walls, steps and railings separately. Any unresolved water entry or failing substrate needs attention before the coating is chosen.
Plan the communal areas
Rooms with proportion
Read the wall colour beside the window reveal, cornice and doors. A scheme for a tall period room should resolve those relationships, whether you want quiet continuity or a more defined contrast between surfaces.
Period flat decorationHow a proposal takes shape
Identify the rooms, materials and existing condition, together with the people who occupy or manage the building.
Review preparation, samples and the required approvals alongside the practical working arrangements.
Agree what is included, how decisions will be made and the references to retain for the finished paintwork.
Planning the work
From a room closure to a collective instruction, these are some of the practical points to establish at the start.
Send the proposed room closures and the dates rooms need to return to use. We can then discuss decoration alongside furniture moves, ventilation and the final clean. The programme needs to allow for the selected coatings and preparation; a gap in the diary alone cannot establish a completion date.
The owner or letting agent should identify who holds the keys, when possession is available and any building management rules. A check-out record and previous paint references help explain whether the instruction is for selected surfaces or complete rooms. Include ceilings and woodwork explicitly if they are required.
Start by identifying the party authorised to instruct the external work. A single marked-up elevation can distinguish jointly maintained stucco from individual windows or doors. Consolidate comments through one representative and agree how colours, repairs and additions to the scope will be approved.
These can be included in a shared-building enquiry. Tell us which entrances remain occupied and whether a stair or lower-ground door is the only route to a home. The specification should distinguish walls, timber and metal, with any moisture or defective substrate assessed before decoration proceeds.
Our company correspondence address is Unit 3 Palace Court, 250 Finchley Road, London NW3 6DN. Paddington is the area served by this website. Put the full W2 work address in your enquiry, including the flat number or the entrance to be used.
