What This Service Includes
Our property refresh service is specifically designed for landlords, letting agents and property managers who need a rental property repainted and presentation-ready between tenancies. Every day a property sits empty costs you money. Our service minimises void periods by delivering fast, comprehensive interior repainting that brings the property back to a clean, neutral, lettable standard.
This service covers full interior repainting, spot repairs to plaster and filler, woodwork touching up, ceiling painting, and the kind of thorough finish that makes properties photograph well for listings and present well at viewings. We understand the commercial reality of rental property management — your priority is speed, reliability, consistent quality and competitive pricing.
We work with individual landlords managing one or two properties, professional landlords with portfolios of ten or more properties, and letting agents who need a reliable decorating contractor they can call at short notice. We offer volume pricing for multiple properties and can often mobilise within 48 to 72 hours for urgent turnarounds.
Tenant-wear — scuffs, marks, nail holes, blue-tack stains, worn paintwork and general grubbiness — is inevitable. A professional refresh returns the property to a clean, well-maintained condition that justifies your asking rent, attracts quality tenants, and demonstrates that you maintain your properties to a high standard.
Examples of Our Work
What Happens When You Wait Too Long
Every day between tenancies costs landlords money. Delays in redecorating directly reduce your annual rental income and can attract lower-quality tenants who are less selective about property condition.
Extended Void Periods
A property that looks tired in listing photographs attracts fewer viewing requests. Properties that present poorly at viewings receive lower offers or none at all. A fresh coat of paint is the single most cost-effective way to reduce void periods.
Lower Achievable Rent
Well-presented properties command higher rents. Tenants pay more for clean, freshly decorated homes because they perceive them as better maintained. Investing £500 to £1,500 in redecoration can add £50 to £150 per month to your rental income.
Tenant Damage Escalation
Minor marks and scuffs left from one tenancy become normalised by the next tenant. Each successive occupant treats the property with less care because the standard has already slipped. Regular refresh painting between tenancies maintains the baseline.
Inventory Disputes
Properties with a clearly documented, freshly painted finish at the start of a tenancy have a much stronger position in deposit disputes. Photographic evidence of new paintwork makes damage assessment straightforward and defensible.
Our Proven Process
Rapid Assessment
We visit the property (or review photographs for remote assessment), assess the scope of work, and provide a fixed-price quote within 24 hours. For regular clients, we can often quote from photographs alone.
Scheduling
We schedule the work to align with your tenant changeover timeline. Where possible, we begin immediately after the outgoing tenant vacates. For urgent turnarounds, we allocate additional team members to compress the programme.
Preparation and Repairs
We fill nail holes, patch plaster damage, repair any dents or gouges, sand surfaces smooth, and prepare all walls and woodwork for painting. This is done quickly but thoroughly — the preparation ensures the finish lasts the full tenancy.
Painting
Walls and ceilings are painted in neutral, lettable colours — typically brilliant white ceilings and a light neutral on walls. Woodwork is touched up or fully repainted depending on condition. Two coats are applied to walls for full coverage and a clean, uniform appearance.
Handover
We leave the property clean, ventilated and ready for final cleaning, photographs and tenant viewings. A completion report with colour references is provided for your records.
The Results You Can Expect
48-Hour Turnaround
For standard one and two-bedroom properties, we can complete a full interior refresh within 48 hours. Larger properties take 3 to 5 days. We plan resourcing to meet your void-period deadline.
Reduced Void Periods
A freshly painted property lists better, photographs better, and lets faster. The cost of redecoration is typically recovered within the first month of the new tenancy through faster letting.
Higher Achievable Rent
Clean, neutral, freshly decorated interiors allow you to justify and achieve higher rents. Tenants perceive well-maintained properties as more desirable and are willing to pay a premium.
Volume Pricing
Landlords with multiple properties benefit from our portfolio pricing structure. The more properties we handle, the more competitive the per-property rate becomes.
Consistent Quality
We use the same products, colours and techniques across all your properties, ensuring a consistent standard that simplifies your property management and inventory processes.
Reliable Scheduling
We commit to completion dates and deliver on them. You can plan your tenant changeovers, cleaning schedules and listing dates around our confirmed timeline.
Colour Strategy for Rental Properties
We recommend a simple, proven colour strategy for rental properties. Brilliant white on ceilings creates a clean, bright impression and maximises light. A warm neutral on walls — typically Dulux Trade White Cotton, Jasmine White, or similar — provides a welcoming feel without being stark. White or off-white woodwork ties the scheme together. This palette appeals to the widest range of tenants, photographs well for online listings, and makes rooms appear larger and brighter. We keep records of the exact colours used so that touch-ups between tenancies match perfectly.
Full Refresh vs Touch-Up
A full refresh involves repainting all walls, ceilings and woodwork throughout the property. This is appropriate between long tenancies (3+ years) or when the previous tenant has left significant marks. A touch-up focuses on high-wear areas — hallways, staircases, around light switches, behind doors, and any spots with marks, scuffs or stains. Touch-ups are faster and cheaper but require colour-matched paint from the original application. We advise on the most cost-effective approach for each turnover.
Durable Products for Rental Properties
Rental properties need tough, washable paints that withstand tenant use and professional cleaning. We use Dulux Trade Diamond Matt on walls — a scrubbable emulsion that resists staining and can be wiped clean without marking. On woodwork, we use Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood — a durable, non-yellowing finish that resists knocks and scratches. These products cost slightly more per litre but last significantly longer and can be spot-cleaned between tenancies, reducing the frequency of full repaints.
HMO and Multi-Unit Properties
Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit blocks require particular management. Communal areas — hallways, staircases, landings — need regular maintenance painting to maintain a clean, safe environment. Individual rooms need refresh painting between each tenant. We offer scheduled maintenance programmes for HMO landlords that plan and budget redecoration cycles across all rooms and communal areas, keeping the property in consistently good condition.
