Barnes is a genuine village in a bend of the Thames — the pond, the green and the Georgian houses of Barnes Village, the tree-lined family streets of Castelnau, and the cottages around Barnes Common.

Barnes' housing stock is largely period — Georgian and early-Victorian houses in the village conservation area, Victorian and Edwardian family houses on the Castelnau estate, and 1930s and post-war homes towards Mortlake. The vast majority is owner-occupied, so nearly all our work here is in occupied family homes where the standard of finish really matters.
All work is fully insured, VAT registered, and backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty (24 months on projects over £10k). We're a proper Ltd company (No. 16499315) — not a man with a van. Every quote is itemised, every invoice is digital, and every job is done to a standard we're happy to put our name on.
Painting & Decorating
Barnes
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Barnes is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across SW13 for over a decade — with the reviews to prove it.
We work on everything from single room refreshes in rented apartments to full flat and house redecorations for landlords and homeowners. Our decorators are experienced, tidy, and genuinely care about the finish they leave behind.
Barnes properties require a first-class decorating finish — heritage paint ranges, careful restoration of cornicing and panelling in the period houses, well-prepared exterior paintwork, and the ability to work in occupied family homes with minimal disruption. Our decorators are experienced at this level.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Barnes include: whole-house redecorations of Georgian and Victorian homes, exterior painting of render, sash windows and front doors, cornice and ceiling repairs, hand-painted panelling, shutters and internal doors, kitchen-extension and loft-room decoration, and heritage colour schemes for owner-occupiers.
We price decorating work as a lump sum — so you always know the cost upfront. No hourly surprises, no extras added later. For smaller one-off jobs we charge £85/hr + VAT with a minimum call-out of £95 + VAT.

We manage every trade so you have a single point of contact from survey to handover.
Full refurbishments in Barnes are mostly whole-house family projects in period homes — new kitchens in side-return extensions, family bathrooms and en-suites, loft rooms and full redecoration — where conservation-area rules and original features need respecting. We manage every trade so you have one point of contact from survey to handover.
We've completed refurbishments across Barnes and Richmond upon Thames ranging from £15,000 cosmetic refreshes (new flooring, full redecoration, bathroom update) to £65,000+ complete gut refurbishments — our project at John Spencer Square, N1 is a good example of the standard we deliver at the higher end.
