Inside, we paint everything from a single feature wall to a whole house. For living rooms and bedrooms that usually means a durable matt or eggshell emulsion on the walls, a flat white on ceilings and a hard-wearing satin or gloss on woodwork. Kitchens and bathrooms need paints that cope with steam and can be wiped clean, and hallways need finishes that stand up to bikes, buggies and moving day.

Outside, East London weather is hard on paintwork. Front doors, sash windows, railings and painted brickwork or render all need proper preparation: scraping off flaking paint, treating bare wood and metal, and using paints made for outdoor use. Exterior work depends on dry weather, so we'll plan it for the right time of year and keep you updated if rain moves the dates. We can also work at height, including upper-floor windows, fascias and stairwells.

We're on Bethnal Green Road, so most of our painting and decorating work is close to home: Bethnal Green and the E2 area, Globe Town, Shoreditch, Hackney, Bow, Mile End, Whitechapel, Stepney, Poplar and the rest of Tower Hamlets.

East London has its own mix of buildings, and each one needs a slightly different approach. Victorian and Georgian terraces often have cracked lime plaster and lots of original woodwork that needs careful filling and sanding. Ex-council flats tend to need hard-wearing finishes in kitchens and hallways. Newer apartments and warehouse conversions usually want a crisp, modern finish on large plain walls. We'll look at what you've got and tell you honestly how much prep it needs.

Most of the difference between an average paint job and a good one happens before the first coat goes on. On a typical job we:

• protect floors and furniture with dust sheets and mask edges and fittings
• fill, sand and prime so cracks and patches don't show through
• use stain block over old marks so they don't bleed back through the new paint
• apply the coats needed for an even colour, usually two
• clean up properly at the end of each day

We're the sister company of Just Move Property, the estate agent and property manager at the same address, so we understand how tight the gap between tenancies can be. A fresh coat of paint is one of the quickest ways to help a property let, and it often deals with the marks noted on a check-out report. We can:

• refresh a flat during a void period in neutral, hard-wearing colours
• touch up scuffs and marks after a check-out
• redecorate after a leak once the repair is done
• combine painting with an end-of-tenancy clean and small repairs, so the property is ready for the next tenant in one go
• work with tenants in place and arrange times that suit them

We work for landlords and agents whether or not the property is managed by Just Move Property.

How much does a painter and decorator cost in Bethnal Green?

It depends on the size of the room, the condition of the walls and woodwork, and how much prep is needed. We give free quotes so you know the cost before we start.

How long does it take to paint a room?

An average bedroom usually takes one to two days, allowing for prep and drying time between coats. A one-bed flat often takes three to five days and a larger flat or house longer, depending on the prep and how many rooms are included. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote.

Can you redecorate between tenants?

Yes. Tell us the check-out and check-in dates and we'll plan the work to fit the gap, alongside cleaning and small repairs if needed.

Do you do exterior painting as well as interiors?

Yes. We paint front doors, window frames, railings and masonry, as well as interiors. Exterior work needs dry weather, so it's best planned for the warmer months.

Can you help me choose colours?

Yes. For rentals and properties going on the market we usually suggest soft neutrals, which make rooms feel bigger and suit most furniture. For your own home, we're happy to talk colours through with you before you decide.

Do you supply the paint?

Yes. We supply quality trade paint and include it in your quote. If you've already picked a brand and colour, just tell us and we'll use that instead.

Can you paint over damp or mould?

Not until the cause is sorted, otherwise it will come straight back. We'll help you find out whether it's a leak, condensation or something else, and our plumbing team can fix leaks before we redecorate.

Can you work while I'm living in the property?

Yes. We'll cover furniture and belongings, work room by room where possible, and keep rooms usable at the end of each day.
