Painting & Decorating Services

A fresh coat of paint is often the fastest way to make a new house feel like home, or a tired property feel ready to sell or let. Clock Removals offers expert painting services in Central London, North London, East London, and the South East. They handle interior and exterior jobs for both homes and businesses.

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.

SERVICE OVERVIEW

What Are Painting and Decorating Services?

Painting and decorating covers more than applying paint to a wall. It’s the full process of preparing a surface, choosing the right materials, and finishing it to a standard that actually lasts. This involves filling and sanding surfaces. It also includes protecting floors and furniture. Then, prime new or repaired areas. Finally, apply paint or wallpaper correctly. This way, it won’t peel, patch, or fade within a year.

At Clock Removals, our painting and decorating services include:

  • Interior painting and decorating (rooms, hallways, ceilings)
  • Exterior house painting and render touch-ups
  • Wall painting and feature walls
  • Wallpaper removal and hanging
  • Painting new plaster (correctly primed and sealed)
  • Skirting boards, doors and trim
  • Commercial painting and decorating for offices and business premises

What We Cover

House Painting

House painting is one of the most common jobs we’re asked to do, and one of the easiest to get wrong if it’s rushed. Our team handles both:

  • Interior painting and decorating include bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and ceilings. We ensure proper surface prep and clean edges.
  • Exterior painting weatherproof finishes for walls, window frames and doors, chosen to hold up against UK weather

We plan your painting job around your schedule. Whether it’s just one accent wall or repainting the whole property for a sale or new tenant, we also ensure the work area stays protected.

If you’re giving your property a complete makeover, many customers also combine our painting work with Gardening to improve the outdoor appearance at the same time. Refreshing both the interior and exterior helps create a more attractive and welcoming home.

Painting New Plaster

Painting new plaster is different from repainting an old wall. New plaster needs to cure properly. First, it should be primed with a mist coat, which is diluted paint. Then, you can apply a full coat. Skipping this step often leads to patchy, flaking paint on new plastered walls. Our decorators understand the best curing time and priming method for new plaster. This ensures the finish lasts and doesn’t need repainting in just a few months.

Painting Contractors for Commercial Premises

As experienced painting contractors, we also handle commercial painting for offices, retail units and business premises. Commercial jobs have unique pressures. They require minimal disruption to staff and customers. Schedules are tight, and surface areas are often larger. So, we plan around your operating hours. We work efficiently to keep downtime low.

Our commercial painting and decorating service covers:

  • Office interiors and communal areas
  • Retail and business premises
  • Out-of-hours and weekend scheduling to avoid disrupting operations
  • Durable finishes suited to higher-traffic environments

How to Smooth Walls Before Painting

If you’re wondering how to smooth walls before painting whether you’re doing it yourself or just want to know what a proper job involves here’s the process our decorators follow on every job:

  1. Clean the surface: remove dust, grease and any loose material.
  2. Fill imperfections: use filler on cracks, holes and dents, then allow it to dry fully.
  3. Sand the filled areas:  sand flush with the surrounding wall using fine-grit sandpaper.
  4. Wipe down dust:  a slightly damp cloth removes sanding residue before priming.
  5. Prime the surface:  especially important on filled patches, new plaster, or bare wall, so paint absorbs evenly.

Skipping any of these steps is usually why a “fresh” paint job still shows every bump and patch underneath.

How to Protect Carpet When Painting

Protecting flooring properly is part of doing the job right, not an optional extra. Here’s how to protect carpet when painting, the way our team approaches every room:

  • Lay dust sheets or drop cloths across the full floor area, not just directly under the working section
  • Use painter’s tape along skirting boards to catch drips at the edge
  • Avoid dragging ladders or equipment across carpet without protection underneath
  • Clean up spills immediately rather than letting them dry in

On every job, our decorators fully sheet and protect flooring and furniture before opening a single tin of paint carpets and floors are covered whether we’re painting one wall or a whole property.
