We plan the job around your diary, work when the office is empty and hand every area back clean and ready for Monday morning. Whether it is a single meeting room, a full floor or the decorating package on an office refurbishment in London, you get one point of contact and a fixed price.

Evenings, weekends and bank holidays, so staff never work around us.
Phased floor by floor
Zones handed back each morning, in the order that suits you.
Low odour
Water-based, low-VOC paints and fresh air by the morning.

Direct to businesses or as the decorating subcontractor.

Working around your business
How we decorate a working office
A clear plan agreed before we start, so nobody has to work around the decorators.
Survey and programme
We walk the office with you and agree zones, working hours and the order of works.
Evenings and weekends
Work starts when staff leave, with building rules, lifts and access agreed in advance.
Floor by floor
Each zone is protected, painted and handed back before we move on to the next.
Dust and odour kept down
Dust-extracted sanding, low-odour paints and ventilation as we go.
Ready by morning
Furniture back, floors cleaned and a short update sent each day.
Brand colours and finishes
Colours and finishes for a working office
The right paint for each space, matched to your brand.
RAL and Pantone colour matching
We match RAL, Pantone and NCS references, or a physical sample, and paint a test patch on site before any feature wall goes on. Receptions and meeting rooms come out exactly on brand.
Ideal for
- Receptions and feature walls
- Meeting rooms
- Doors and frames in accent colours
Low-odour, low-VOC paints
Water-based paints with low volatile organic compounds dry quickly and leave no lingering smell, so occupied offices are fresh the next morning. Many carry environmental certifications for BREEAM and SKA-rated fit-outs.
Ideal for
- Occupied offices
- Overnight and weekend work
- Sustainability-rated fit-outs
Scrubbable, hard-wearing finishes
Durable matt and eggshell finishes stand up to chairs, bags and cleaning, and can be wiped down without leaving shiny patches. Walls stay looking new for longer between redecorations.
Ideal for
- Corridors and stairwells
- Kitchens and breakout areas
- Doors, frames and skirting
Case study
Bishopsgate offices, City of London

Reviews
What office managers and fit-out firms say
Full attendance every day, a supervisor who actually walks the floors and areas offered up ready for snagging. They kept to our programme on a live building with no complaints from the tenants.
We gave them a Cat B fit-out with a fixed handover date and they put extra operatives on to pull back time lost by other trades. RAMS were in within two days.
Communal hallways and stairwells across three blocks repainted in phases, with notices for residents and fire doors done properly. Not one complaint from the leaseholders.
FAQ
Office painting questions
How much does office painting cost in London?
As a guide, a straightforward office redecoration costs from £12 to £22 per square metre of floor area (about £1.10 to £2 per square foot), including walls, ceilings and woodwork. Out-of-hours working, high ceilings, specialist paints and the amount of furniture to move all affect the price. We survey for free and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can you paint our office without closing it?
Yes. Most offices we decorate stay open throughout. We work evenings and weekends, floor by floor or zone by zone, and leave every area clean, with furniture back in place, before staff arrive the next morning.
How long does it take to paint an office?
A single floor of around 500 square metres usually takes two to three weekends, or a week of evenings. Larger offices are phased, and we can add teams to meet a deadline. Our Bishopsgate project covered six floors in seven weekends.
Will staff notice the paint smell the next day?
No. We use low-odour, low-VOC water-based paints and keep the space ventilated, so offices are fresh by the morning. Where solvent-based products are unavoidable, for example on some metalwork, we use them at weekends only.
Do you work in occupied buildings with building management rules?
Yes, all the time. We follow the landlord’s or managing agent’s rules on working hours, deliveries, lifts and permits, supply RAMS and insurance in advance, and protect common areas on the way in and out.
Can you match our brand colours?
Yes. We match RAL, Pantone and NCS references or a physical sample, and test a sample patch on site before painting feature walls, receptions or meeting rooms.
Do you move desks and IT equipment?
We move and cover standard furniture ourselves. For IT equipment, comms cabinets and anything plugged in, we work with your facilities or IT team so nothing is disconnected without your say-so.
Do you work for fit-out and office refurbishment contractors?
Yes. On office refurbishment projects in London we often work as the decorating subcontractor for fit-out firms and main contractors, from mist coats on new partitions to final coats and snagging. See our commercial painting services.
