From Father to Sons — A Business Built on Reputation
Shreeve & Son's started in 1993 when our father picked up a brush and decided that South London deserved painters who actually cared about the finish. Three decades later, we still operate on the same principle: every wall, every skirting board, every ceiling gets treated as if it were in our own home.
We specialise in residential and commercial painting and decorating across South London and Surrey. From Victorian terraces in Wimbledon to modern new-builds in Epsom, we have worked on virtually every property type in the region. Our clients include homeowners, landlords, letting agents, property developers, and commercial businesses.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we turn up when we say we will, we protect your furniture and floors properly, we use premium materials that last, and we leave your property cleaner than we found it. No shortcuts, no sub-contractors, no excuses. Just three generations of knowledge applied to your project.
We cover Wimbledon, Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Sutton, Epsom, Guildford, Woking, and the wider South London and Surrey region. Whether you need a single room refreshed or an entire commercial premises transformed, you will always deal directly with the family — never a call centre, never a middleman.
Our Standards — Non-Negotiable
Premium Materials Only
We use Dulux Trade, Farrow & Ball, and Little Greene as standard. No cheap trade paint that fades in 18 months. Our finishes are built to last 8–12 years.
Proper Preparation
We spend as long preparing surfaces as we do painting them. Filling, sanding, priming, and sealing — because paint only looks as good as the surface beneath it.
Respect for Your Property
Dust sheets on every floor. Masking on every edge. Furniture moved and protected. We leave rooms cleaner than we found them — guaranteed.
Written Guarantee
Every project comes with a written workmanship guarantee. If anything peels, cracks, or fades within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no cost.
Why Homeowners Across South London & Surrey Trust Us
We have built our reputation one property at a time. Over 80% of our work comes from repeat customers and personal recommendations. When someone refers us to their neighbour, their parents, or their colleagues, that is the highest compliment we can receive — and it is something we never take for granted.
We are Checkatrade members with verified customer reviews, trusted for commercial work, and fully insured with £5 million public liability cover. Every member of our team is trained to work in occupied homes, schools, and offices.
From the moment you call to the final walkthrough, you deal with our team directly. We manage every project personally, coordinate our craftsmen, and conduct a final quality inspection before handover. There is no project manager layer, no miscommunication chain — just direct accountability from a family that stakes its name on every job.
