Totteridge N20

Totteridge's trusted
property contractors.

Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating, flooring and full property refurbishments across Totteridge and the surrounding area since 2014. We're the first choice for landlords and homeowners across N20 who need quality work done on time, without the hassle.

Totteridge is North London's most exclusive village — large detached houses set back on Totteridge Lane and Totteridge Common, period cottages and farmhouses around the green and St Andrew's, and substantial family homes on the private roads that run down towards Whetstone. Tom Harvey Contractors delivers the premium standard of painting, flooring and refurbishment that N20 owners expect.

Whether you own a detached house on Totteridge Lane, a period property near the village green, a substantial family home on one of the private roads, or a 1930s house in Whetstone — we understand the expectations of Totteridge clients and consistently deliver to them. Discretion, quality and professionalism are standard.

Totteridge's housing stock is dominated by large detached houses — Georgian and Victorian originals within the Totteridge conservation area, substantial inter-war and post-war family homes, and modern houses built on generous plots — alongside 1930s semis and a few apartment developments towards Whetstone. Nearly all of it is owner-occupied, so our work here is in large family homes where the standard of finish really matters.

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
Totteridge

Finding a reliable painter and decorator in Totteridge is harder than it should be. Tom Harvey Contractors has been delivering high-quality interior and exterior painting and decorating across N20 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.

Totteridge properties require the finest decorating finishes — heritage paint ranges in the period houses, flawless flat walls and spray-finished joinery in the modern ones, hand-painted windows and doors, well-prepared exterior paintwork, and the ability to work in large occupied family homes with minimal disruption. Our decorators are experienced at this level.

Popular decorating jobs we handle in Totteridge include: whole-house redecoration programmes carried out room by room, exterior painting of render, timber windows, doors and fascias, restoration of cornicing and panelling in period houses, spray-finished doors and fitted joinery in modern homes, and premium specialist 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
Totteridge

Need a full property refurbishment in Totteridge? Tom Harvey manages end-to-end property renovations across N20 — from single-room upgrades to complete flat and house transformations covering every trade under one roof.

A full refurbishment in Totteridge 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 Totteridge are high-specification whole-house projects — luxury bathrooms and en-suites, bespoke kitchens, premium materials, full redecoration and flooring — often phased around a family in residence, with conservation-area rules on external work in the village. We manage every trade so you have one point of contact from survey to handover.

We've completed refurbishments across Totteridge and North 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 N20, 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 Totteridge

Whole houses are quoted room by room after a site visit — a typical five-bedroom detached family house will usually fall between £10,000 and £22,000 for a complete interior repaint, depending on size, condition, the amount of joinery and paint specification, with the larger houses quoted individually. Exterior render and timber is quoted separately. We always provide a fixed lump-sum price upfront.
Yes — most of our Totteridge work is in occupied family homes. For larger projects we agree a phased programme: one floor or zone at a time, with the kitchen and at least one bathroom kept in use throughout, sealed-off work areas, dust extraction and a clean-up at the end of every day. We'll agree the sequence with you at quote stage so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, we cover Totteridge, Whetstone, Mill Hill and Barnet regularly, and there's no travel charge anywhere in Greater London. Our teams work across North London every week, so you get the same pricing and the same response times as our clients in Central London.
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. Whole-house projects in Totteridge are scoped individually. 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 N20. 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.
