Clock Removals has worked in and around Romford for over 19 years. Many of our painting jobs come from people we’ve already helped move: they’ve got the keys, the boxes are unpacked, and now they want the house to feel like theirs.
Others come from landlords refreshing a rental between tenants and businesses that want their premises to look sharp. No matter if you’re a homeowner, a tenant, a landlord or a business, our painting contractors provide a clean, even finish. We never skimp on prep work.
Painting and decorating is the preparation and finishing of the surfaces inside and outside a building. It covers painting walls, ceilings, woodwork and exteriors, and it often includes wallpapering, filling and repairing surfaces, and sealing or caulking gaps so the finished result looks crisp.
The terms get used loosely. Painting usually means applying paint to a surface, while painting decorating (or “decorating”) covers the wider finishing work around it: wallpaper, preparation, repairs and the fine detail that makes a room feel complete. When people search for painting and decorating services, they usually want all of it handled by one reliable team.
At Clock Removals, our painting and decorating services include:
Properties around Romford vary widely. There are 1930s semis and Edwardian terraces in the town centre and Collier Row, Arts and Crafts houses in Gidea Park, post-war estates in Harold Wood, and newer flats and apartments. Each brings its own decorating challenges, from original plaster that needs careful repair to older woodwork with layers of previous paint. Our teams are used to all of it.
Our house painting service covers whole-home repaints and individual rooms, inside and out. That means walls, ceilings, skirting boards, doors, door frames, windows, staircases and bannisters, all prepared and finished to a consistent standard.
A full repaint is also the best time to fix the little things you’ve been living with: scuffs, hairline cracks, tired woodwork and discoloured ceilings. If you’re searching for painting and decorating Romford homeowners can trust, a visit from us usually begins with a walk through the house to spot issues that need fixing before any paint goes on.
Wall painting looks simple but is where most DIY jobs show their flaws: roller marks, patchy coverage, visible joins and paint bleeding into corners. Our team uses the right roller and brush for each surface, works in sections so edges stay wet, and applies enough coats for even colour without streaks.
We’ll advise on finishes too. Matt hides imperfections on walls and suits living rooms and bedrooms. Silk and satin have a gentle sheen that’s easier to wipe clean in kitchens and hallways. Hard-wearing finishes suit high-traffic areas, and moisture-resistant paint is the right choice for bathrooms.
The work of plastering is a specialist task. Very absorbent and requires normal emulsion to penetrate and peel or to appear patchy. The proper way to Painting new plaster involves allowing it to dry completely before adding a “mist coat” of paint to seal it, and then adding full coats of paint.
The most common culprit for new plaster failure is that it is skipped or rushed through these steps. An extension, re-skim or renovation? We’ll look at the plaster beforehand to see if it’s ready for us to start or if there is more drying time required – we’ll let you know the truth!
We service inside rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, stairwells and ceilings. Frequently overlooked but very significant, ceilings are. A clean, bright ceiling will elevate the whole room, while stained ceilings caused by leaks in the past should be sealed off for painting or the stains will reappear.
Skirting boards, architraves, doors and window frames and staircases get the most wear and show it most readily. Old woodwork is rubbed, filled and primed so that the new finish is applied correctly and then a satin or gloss layer is applied to give a durable, wipeable surface. It’s the detail that gives a repaint a professional look instead of just fresh.
The exterior of a home is exposed to all that the weather can bring. We paint the outside of buildings on rendered and brick walls, fascias, soffits, window frames, doors, gates and fences with weather resistant paints appropriate to each surface. We prepare by cleaning, scraping and repairing first, or paint that is applied over algae, dirt or flaking old paint does not last.
Alongside refreshing your property’s exterior, maintaining the garden can help create a more attractive and welcoming outdoor space. Our gardening services cover lawn care, hedge trimming, weeding and general garden maintenance, helping homeowners and landlords keep their outdoor areas neat and presentable throughout the year.
But requirements vary from business to business: short lead times, minimum disruption and a finish that is durable and suitable for heavy use. We provide commercial painting and commercial painting and decorating services for offices, shops, restaurants, schools and managed buildings. We can work at night or on weekends to avoid disruption to your team and customers, and provide durable and washable finishes to busy areas.
For a commercial job, if you’re looking at comparing painting and decorating contractors, we will be coming to your premises, finalising a programme and scope, and providing you with a fixed price, leaving no surprises on the final invoice.
Sometimes the fastest solution to get a building back in rentable shape is to simply repaint the building and preserve its lease value while it’s between tenants. We do the rooms rapidly, match the colors where necessary, and fix any damage and marks so there is little downtime for the next tenant. Add our cleaning and furniture assembly services and one crew can move a property from start to finish.
Beyond Paint, we hang wallpaper in standard and feature wall styles, including preparation and lining when required on walls. The answer to wallpaper lifting at the edges is a clean, well-prepared wall, and that’s the area that most people neglect when they do DIY.
There are plenty of painting and decorating companies and painting and decorating agencies to choose from, and many of them pass jobs on to subcontractors you’ve never met.

Our team fills, sands and primes surfaces as needed, and fully protects floors, carpets and furniture before painting begins.
We apply a clean, even finish, check edges and trim, and clear away before leaving so the room’s ready to use straight away.
