FAQ

Questions about painting, flooring
& refurbishment in Dalston

Redecorating a one-bedroom flat in Canary Wharf typically costs between £800 and £1,500 for labour and standard materials. A two-bedroom flat ranges from £1,500 to £2,500 depending on condition, prep work needed, and finish quality. We always provide a fixed lump-sum price upfront — no surprises. For smaller jobs, we charge £85/hr + VAT.
LVT (luxury vinyl tile) is the most popular choice for rental properties in E8. It's water-resistant, extremely durable, looks great in photos, and is easy to clean between tenancies. Engineered hardwood is a popular choice for owner-occupiers who want a more premium finish. We supply and fit both — come to us with your preferred look and budget and we'll recommend the best option.
A typical one-bedroom flat refurbishment covering redecoration, flooring and bathroom takes around 2–3 weeks. A larger two-bedroom flat with kitchen replacement, bathroom renovation, full flooring and redecoration usually takes 4–6 weeks. We agree a clear timeline at quote stage so you know exactly when your property will be ready. We work efficiently to minimise your void period.

Yes — kitchen installation and bathroom renovation are a core part of our refurbishment offering. We can supply and fit a new kitchen or bathroom, or fit units and fixtures you've already purchased.

All quotes clearly show costs both ex-VAT and inc-VAT at 20%. There are no hidden charges. Our minimum call-out for small repair or touch-up jobs is £95 + VAT. For refurbishments, we typically request a deposit before starting work, with the balance due on completion.
