Covent Garden's trusted
property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Covent Garden and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across WC2 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
Covent Garden is living in the very centre of London — apartments above the Piazza and Seven Dials, converted warehouses and workshops off Neal Street, Georgian townhouses around the Strand and Lincoln's Inn, and a growing number of high-specification residential developments. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that WC2 owners expect.

Discretion, quality and professionalism are standard.
Covent Garden's housing stock is largely conversions — Georgian and Victorian townhouses split into flats, former warehouses and market buildings turned into lofts, mansion blocks, and the housing-association estates that keep the area a real community. Almost all of it is in shared buildings above commercial premises, with no parking, so we're used to planning access carefully.
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
Covent Garden
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Covent Garden is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across WC2 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.
Covent Garden properties require a high-quality decorating finish delivered with minimal fuss — heritage colours and panelling repairs in the period flats, clean modern finishes in the lofts and new developments, and the ability to work in occupied buildings above some of the busiest streets in London. Our decorators are experienced at exactly this.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Covent Garden include: full redecorations of apartments between tenancies, period flat redecoration with panelling and cornice repairs, loft apartment refreshes including exposed brick and timber treatment, upgrading developer-standard paintwork in new builds, spray-finished doors and joinery, and premium finishes 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.

Property Refurbishment
Covent Garden
Need a full property refurbishment in Covent Garden? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across WC2 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.
A full refurbishment in Covent Garden typically covers: full redecoration throughout, new flooring, kitchen replacement or upgrade, bathroom renovation, carpentry and joinery, basic plumbing and electrical, and any plastering or repair work needed. We manage every trade so you have a single point of contact from survey to handover.
Full refurbishments in Covent Garden are apartment projects in tight central buildings — luxury bathrooms, replacement kitchens, new flooring, fitted joinery and full redecoration — delivered around listed-building constraints, no on-street parking, narrow staircases and permitted working hours. We handle the coordination so you don't have to.
We've completed refurbishments across Covent Garden and the West End 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.
For landlords in WC2, a well-executed refurbishment before reletting typically increases rental yield and reduces void periods — making it one of the best investments a landlord can make. For homeowners, a quality refurbishment ahead of sale can add significant value in a market where presentation matters.
