End of Tenancy Decorating
Fast, reliable property turnarounds for landlords, letting agents, and tenants across South Essex. Minimise void periods with a professional redecoration that helps your property let quickly.
Professional Redecorations Between Tenancies
We're seeing more and more landlords and letting agents getting in touch for full property redecorations between tenants. It makes sense. A freshly decorated property photographs better for listings, attracts better tenants, and often commands a higher rent. The cost of a professional redecoration usually pays for itself within the first few months of a new tenancy.
We understand the pressures of a tenancy turnaround. Every day a property sits empty costs money, so speed matters. But rushing the job and leaving a poor finish defeats the purpose. We've found the right balance: thorough preparation where it's needed, efficient systems honed over 30 years, and the right products that give a durable, professional finish without unnecessary drying delays.
Whether you're a landlord with a single buy-to-let, a portfolio investor with multiple properties across South Essex, or a letting agent managing turnarounds for your clients, we can help. We also work directly with outgoing tenants who want to leave the property in good condition for their deposit return.
What's Included
Every end of tenancy redecoration is different. Some properties just need a freshen-up, others need the full works. Here's what we can cover.
Full Property Repaint
Walls, ceilings, and woodwork throughout. We work room by room, starting with ceilings and working down. Neutral colour schemes that appeal to the widest range of tenants and look great in listing photos.
Damage Repair
Filling nail holes, repairing scuff marks, patching damaged plaster, and addressing any marks or stains left by outgoing tenants. We bring walls and woodwork back to a lettable standard.
Woodwork Refresh
Skirting boards, door frames, and doors often take the most punishment during a tenancy. We sand, fill, and repaint all woodwork so it looks clean and well-maintained for viewings.
Kitchen & Bathroom
These rooms see the most wear. We use moisture-resistant, wipe-clean finishes in kitchens and bathrooms that stand up to daily use and are easy for tenants to keep clean.
Hallways & Communal Areas
First impressions count for viewings. We give hallways, landings, and stairwells extra attention, using durable scrubbable finishes in high-traffic areas that resist marks and scuffs.
Exterior Touch-Ups
Front doors, window frames, and fascias that need attention before the listing photographer arrives. Kerb appeal matters when you're trying to fill a property quickly.

End of Tenancy Decorating Questions
How quickly can you turn around a property?
For a standard 2-3 bedroom property needing full repainting, we typically complete the work within 3-5 working days. We understand void periods cost landlords money, so we schedule tenancy turnarounds as a priority and can often start within a week of your call.
Do you offer discounts for landlords with multiple properties?
We work with several landlords and letting agents across South Essex who come back to us regularly. We offer competitive pricing for ongoing relationships and can set up a standing arrangement where you simply call when a tenant moves out. We keep your preferred colour schemes on file so there's no delay.
What colours do you recommend for rentals?
For maximum appeal and easy maintenance, we recommend warm neutrals like Jasmine White or Magnolia for walls, with brilliant white for ceilings and woodwork. These photograph well for listings, make rooms feel bright and spacious, and are easy to touch up between tenancies without colour-matching headaches.
Can you work around other contractors?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with end of tenancy cleaners, carpet fitters, and maintenance teams during property turnarounds. We can work to your schedule, coming in after the cleaners or before the carpet fitters, whatever works best for your timeline.
I'm a tenant leaving a property. Can you help?
Yes, we work with outgoing tenants too. If you've agreed with your landlord to redecorate before moving out, or if you want to restore the property to its original condition for your deposit, we can help. We'll match existing colours or go back to a neutral scheme, depending on what's been agreed.
Do you provide invoices suitable for tax purposes?
Yes. All our invoices include a full breakdown of labour and materials, which is what you'll need for your self-assessment. We also provide separate receipts for paint and materials purchased. Maintenance and redecoration costs are typically deductible against rental income, though we'd always recommend checking with your accountant.
