King's Cross' trusted
property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across King's Cross and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across N1C & WC1X who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
King's Cross has become one of London's most desirable new neighbourhoods — the Gasholders, Granary Square and the apartment buildings of the King's Cross Central development on one side, and the Georgian and Victorian streets of Keystone Crescent, Argyle Square and Lloyd Baker on the other. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that N1C & WC1X owners expect.

King's Cross's housing stock is split between the high-specification new developments of King's Cross Central — portered, with concierge access and leases specifying acoustic flooring — and the older streets around the station: Georgian terraces and squares, Victorian conversions, mansion blocks and post-war estates. We're as used to snagging and upgrading new builds as we are to restoring period detail.
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
King's Cross
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in King's Cross is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across N1C & WC1X 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.
King's Cross properties require a clean, precise decorating finish — flawless flat walls and spray-finished joinery in the new apartments (where developer paintwork rarely lasts), heritage colours and cornice repairs in the Georgian flats, and the ability to work in occupied, managed buildings with minimal disruption. Our decorators handle both.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in King's Cross include: upgrading developer-standard paintwork in new-build apartments, full redecorations between tenancies, Georgian flat redecoration with cornice and panelling repairs, spray-finished doors, frames and fitted joinery, communal area redecoration, and feature walls 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.
