- One team, every trade
Mitcham is suburban semi country, and that steers the decorating. Much of CR4 grew up in the 1920s and 1930s, so the bread and butter here is bringing bay-fronted interwar and 1930s semis up to date: the solid but dated decor that a full prep and repaint transforms room by room. Dated feature walls and dark colours give way to a lighter scheme, tired woodwork and ceilings are repaired, primed and repainted, and picture rails and panelled doors are rubbed down to sharpen a whole room. Curved bay reveals and picture rails are masked carefully so the lines come out crisp.
The rest of the area fills in around that. The post-war estate homes at Phipps Bridge and Pollards Hill usually want straightforward, durable repaints that keep them fresh and let-ready, while the older terraces near Mitcham Cricket Green and Fair Green carry more period detail that wants careful preparation. Nearer the tram stops there are newer flats where smooth plaster takes a clean, even finish in a couple of coats. We match the approach to the property.
We decorate inside and out across Mitcham for homeowners, landlords and agents, from a single room to a whole house repainted as part of a wider update. Colours, finish and a firm, agreed price come before any brush is lifted; floors and furniture are protected and the place left clean. With one team across the prep, the paint and the making-good, there is nothing to co-ordinate between separate trades, and we book a time that suits the household.

Why Mitcham homes and landlords rely on us for painting and decorating
The interwar and 1930s semis around Mitcham Common are the heart of the work, and they reward a proper transformation rather than a quick coat. Settling cracks around the door frames are filled and sealed, the curved bay reveals and picture rails masked for crisp lines, and panelled doors and deep skirting rubbed down and repainted to lift the hallway and landing. Swapping years of dark, dated colour for a lighter, current scheme is often what changes a room most.
On the Phipps Bridge and Pollards Hill estates the priority is durability: washable finishes in busy hallways, kitchens and stairwells, and clean, even coats on walls and ceilings that make a home feel fresh again. The older terraces by the Cricket Green and Fair Green want the more careful period preparation. Many Mitcham homes also still have draughty timber windows that we rub back and repaint as part of the job.
Outside, render, masonry, fascias and front doors are repainted in weather-suited finishes, which the exposed semis around the Common tend to need after a few winters.

Our process for painting and decorating in Mitcham
A simple, no-surprises way of working — from your first message to a tidy finish.
- 1
Colours and a price up front
We agree colours, finishes and the scope of work, then give you a clear price before any painting begins.
- 2
Protect and mask
We cover floors and furniture and mask edges, sockets and trim so nothing is splashed or marked.
- 3
Fill, sand and prepare
We fill cracks and holes, sand back and clean down, because a lasting finish comes from the preparation.
- 4
Prime bare and patched areas
We seal bare plaster, filler and woodwork so the topcoats take evenly and hold up over time.
- 5
Apply the finish coats
We cut in neatly and lay on even coats, building up as many as the job needs for full, consistent coverage.
- 6
Clean up and final check
We remove the masking, reinstate the room and look over the finish with you in good light.

Do you work with Mitcham landlords and letting agents?
Yes. Mitcham has a mix of owner-occupier and rented homes, and we regularly handle reactive repairs, between-tenancy work and safety-related jobs for landlords and agents managing houses and flats across CR4.
Do you prepare the surfaces or just paint?
Preparation is where a good finish comes from. We fill, sand, mask and prime as needed so the final result looks clean and lasts — it is all included in the quote.
Can you paint a single room or a whole property?
Both. From refreshing one room to redecorating an entire home or rental before a new tenancy, just tell us the scope and we will quote accordingly.
Do you tidy up afterwards?
Always. We protect floors and furniture, work cleanly and leave the space tidy and ready to use.
Do you paint exteriors as well as interiors?
Yes. As well as interior walls, ceilings and woodwork we paint exterior masonry, render, fascias and front doors, using finishes suited to the weather.
Can you repaint a property between tenancies quickly?
Yes. Between-tenancy repaints are a regular job for us — we use hard-wearing, washable finishes and work to a timescale that fits the changeover.
Can you match an existing colour?
Usually, yes. If you can point us to the paint or leave a sample, we can match the colour so touch-ups and new work blend in with what is already there.
