Covent Garden · Project enquiries

Your address.
Your plans for the space.

Let us know whether you are decorating an apartment, a townhouse, a shopfront or a place of work. Describe the surfaces and any access or opening-hour constraints. Photographs can be shared by email or WhatsApp.

Outline the decoration

Include the address, the current condition and the parts of the building you want us to consider.

Before you get in touch

Prepare your Covent Garden enquiry.

Describe the rooms and retained details.

Start with the full property address and a list of the surfaces you want decorated. A flat above a Seven Dials shop may need its private entrance distinguished from the shared stairs; a period interior around the Piazza may have doors, mouldings and window joinery that need separate instructions. In a warehouse conversion, identify any exposed brick, beams or metalwork that should remain untouched. Include photographs of the whole room and closer views of peeling paint, cracks or staining. Mention known repairs and unresolved problems, rather than assuming a fresh finish will address their cause. State whether colours and wallcoverings have been chosen or still need discussion.

Explain the route from the street.

Around Neal Street and the Piazza streets, the delivery route and the route into the building deserve separate attention. Give the floor number, entrance location and details of stairs or a lift, along with any restrictions on carrying materials through a shop or shared lobby. For a shopfront, photograph the pavement and entrance as well as the painted surfaces. Share any building instructions about deliveries, storage and contractor access. Say which rooms or business areas must remain in use. If work needs to fit around opening hours, include that request at the outset; the programme also needs to account for neighbours and the applicable street and building rules.

Make the quotation easy to check.

Distinguish a room repaint from work to external windows, shared entrance doors or a commercial fascia. These elements can involve different decision-makers within the same Covent Garden building. Send any existing landlord finish schedule or instructions relevant to the proposed work, and flag approvals that are still outstanding. When reviewing a quotation, compare the included surfaces, preparation, protection, access equipment and selected finishes with your original enquiry. Record choices that remain provisional, including who will supply wallpaper or other materials. Photographs help explain the brief, while questions about condition and access should be resolved before the final scope is agreed. Our quotation guide provides a component-by-component checklist.

Covent Garden (WC2) Survey & Specification Desk

How We Survey, Specify & Schedule Painting Works Across Covent Garden

When you contact Covent Garden Painters & Decorators — a specialist trading division of Hampstead Renovations Limited (Company No. 16838595, registered office Unit 3 Palace Court, 250 Finchley Road, London NW3 6DN) — your enquiry goes directly to our senior estimating and surveying desk at contact@hampsteadrenovations.co.uk, landline 020 7101 3168, and WhatsApp 07459 345456. We do not use call centres or commission salespeople; every site visit in WC2 is conducted by an experienced decorating surveyor who understands 17th to 19th-century stock brick facades, shopfront pilaster joinery, tall warehouse casements, timber sash windows, lime-rendered lightwells and acoustic secondary-glazed reveals.

During a site consultation along Henrietta Street, King Street, Garrick Street, Floral Street, Long Acre, Shelton Street, Monmouth Street, Shorts Gardens, Neal Street, Maiden Lane and Bedfordbury or within Bedford Estate (historic core), Mercers’ Company Estate, Seven Dials Estate and Shaftesbury Capital heritage blocks, we inspect substrate condition in detail: checking damp and salt migration in lower-ground vaults, sounding external render and stucco profiles, recording timber decay in sliding box-sash cills and rail joints, and evaluating existing paint adhesion on cornices, dado panelling, and high ceilings. Where properties fall within Covent Garden Conservation Area, Seven Dials Conservation Area, Strand Conservation Area and Savoy Conservation Area administered by City of Westminster & London Borough of Camden, we advise on like-for-like heritage colour schedules, vapour-permeable mineral silicate or microporous masonry coatings, and freehold or estate management licence conditions prior to work commencing.

Within 24 to 48 hours of our inspection, we issue a clear, fixed-price, room-by-room or elevation-by-elevation written quotation. Every scope separates surface preparation, joinery and plaster repairs, primer systems, specified trade paint brands (including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library, Benjamin Moore Scuff-X, Dulux Trade Heritage, Zinsser, and Keim Mineral Paints), access or scaffolding allowances, and projected programme dates so homeowners, landlords, architects, and managing agents can approve works with complete transparency.

Access Logistics, Insurance & Written Handover Standards in WC2

Decorating occupied period residences and mansion flats in Covent Garden requires disciplined logistics. Before our team arrives on site, we coordinate resident parking bay suspensions and scaffold or pavement licences with City of Westminster & London Borough of Camden, submit full Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) to building managers or estate surveyors across Bedford Estate (historic core), Mercers’ Company Estate, Seven Dials Estate and Shaftesbury Capital heritage blocks, and agree daily working hours, key-holding protocols, and quiet windows with residents and neighbours.

  • Comprehensive Insurance Cover: £5M public liability insurance and £10M employers' liability and contractors' all risks insurance held by Hampstead Renovations Limited (Company No. 16838595), with certificates supplied alongside every quotation.
  • Dust-Extracted Preparation: Festool Class M HEPA dust extraction, breathable floor protection, masked ironmongery, and sealed room containment throughout preparation and sanding.
  • Local Postcode Coverage: Fast weekday and Saturday survey appointments across WC2, covering Henrietta Street, King Street, Garrick Street, Floral Street, Long Acre, Shelton Street, Monmouth Street, Shorts Gardens, Neal Street, Maiden Lane and Bedfordbury and surrounding residential squares.
