Stratford E20 & E15

Stratford's trusted
property contractors.

Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Stratford and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across E20 & E15 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.

Stratford is East London's fastest-changing neighbourhood — the former Athletes' Village at East Village, the new towers of the International Quarter and Stratford City, the canal-side developments towards Hackney Wick, and the Victorian streets of Maryland and Stratford Village. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that E20 & E15 owners expect.

Whether you own an apartment in East Village or one of the newer towers, a buy-to-let flat near the station, a Victorian terrace in Maryland, or a portfolio of rental apartments let to professionals — we understand the expectations of Stratford clients and consistently deliver to them. Reliability, quality and professionalism are standard.

Stratford's housing stock is dominated by post-2012 apartment buildings — East Village, Glasshouse Gardens, the International Quarter and the developments around the Olympic Park — nearly all managed, with concierge access, service lifts and leases specifying acoustic flooring — alongside Victorian terraces and post-war estates in the older parts of E15. A very high proportion is rented, so between-tenancy turnarounds are a large part of what we do here.

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
Stratford

Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Stratford is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across E20 & E15 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.

Stratford properties need a clean, precise decorating finish delivered quickly — developer paintwork in the new apartments rarely lasts more than one tenancy, and landlords want flats back on the market fast. Our decorators deliver exactly that: flawless flat walls, crisp lines and a finish that photographs well for the next listing.

Popular decorating jobs we handle in Stratford include: full redecorations of new-build apartments between tenancies, upgrading developer-standard paintwork after purchase, spray-finished doors, frames and fitted joinery, ceiling and cornice repairs in the Victorian terraces, communal area redecoration, and feature walls 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.

For homeowners, we also install solid wood and parquet flooring, underfloor heating systems, and high-end carpet throughout. We take care of all preparation work including subfloor levelling, old floor removal and disposal — so you're not left with mess to deal with.

Property Refurbishment
Stratford

Need a full property refurbishment in Stratford? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across E20 & E15 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.

A full refurbishment in Stratford 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 Stratford are mostly fast, cost-effective landlord refits of apartments — new bathroom, replacement kitchen, flooring and redecoration — with whole-house projects in the Victorian streets alongside. We're used to licences to alter, concierge access, service-lift bookings and permitted working hours. We manage every trade so you have one point of contact throughout.

We've completed refurbishments across Stratford and East London 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 E20 & E15, 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.

FAQ

Questions about painting, flooring
& refurbishment in Stratford

Redecorating a one-bedroom apartment in Stratford typically costs from £1,600 for a full repaint of walls, ceilings and woodwork, and a studio from around £1,100. A two-bedroom apartment starts from around £2,200. New-build apartments are usually quicker to paint than period flats because there's less woodwork and cornicing, and we price accordingly. We always provide a fixed lump-sum price upfront.
Yes — East Village and the surrounding developments are a regular part of our East London work. We're used to concierge check-in, booking service lifts, working within permitted hours and providing insurance and method statements to the building management before we start. If your lease requires a licence to alter for flooring or a kitchen change, we'll flag it early.
Yes — we work regularly across Stratford, Bow and Hackney Wick and understand the specific requirements of the area's new-build developments, mansion blocks and Victorian terraces. We're reliable, tidy and professional on every job, and we're used to working with letting agents, concierges and managing agents on access.
A typical one-bedroom flat refurbishment covering redecoration, flooring and bathroom takes around 2–3 weeks.

We agree a clear timeline at quote stage so you know exactly when your property will be ready, and we work efficiently to minimise your void period.
Yes — and it's often the most efficient approach. We sequence the work properly: plastering and prep first, then painting, then flooring last. This way nothing gets damaged. Because we have both decorators and flooring fitters in-house, we can co-ordinate the work so there's no waiting around between trades.
Yes — kitchen installation and bathroom renovation are a core part of our refurbishment offering in E20 & E15.
