Soho's trusted
property contractors.
Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Soho and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across W1D & W1F who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.
Soho is the most characterful square mile in London — Georgian townhouses on Soho Square and Golden Square, warehouse lofts and converted workshops, mansion flats above the streets around Carnaby, and new residential developments on the fringes. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that W1D & W1F owners expect.

Discretion, quality and professionalism are standard.
Soho's housing stock is unusual — 18th-century townhouses (many listed) converted into flats, Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks, converted industrial buildings with exposed brick and timber, and social housing estates like Berwick Street. Nearly all of it is in shared buildings above commercial premises, with no parking and narrow staircases — we're used to it.
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
Soho
Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Soho is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across W1D & W1F 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.
Soho properties require a high-quality decorating finish delivered with minimal fuss — heritage colours and panelling repairs in the Georgian flats, clean modern finishes in the lofts, and the ability to work in occupied buildings above busy streets, with materials carried up narrow stairs. Our decorators are experienced at exactly this.
Popular decorating jobs we handle in Soho include: full redecorations of apartments between tenancies, Georgian flat redecoration with panelling and cornice repairs, loft apartment refreshes including exposed brick and timber treatment, spray-finished doors and joinery, 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.

Property Refurbishment
Soho
Need a full property refurbishment in Soho? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across W1D & W1F — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.
A full refurbishment in Soho 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 Soho are apartment projects in tight, characterful buildings — luxury bathrooms fitted into awkward Georgian layouts, 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 Soho 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 W1D & W1F, 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.
