Typical Greenford homes and what they need
Greenford has a lot of 1930s semi-detached and terraced homes, along with post-war houses and newer flats. Common jobs include:
- Updating original kitchens and bathrooms
- Replacing tired carpets with LVT or laminate downstairs
- Refreshing hallways and stairs, which take the most wear
- Reworking loft and under-stairs storage
- Sealing, draught-proofing and small repairs before winter
Quick quotes for small jobs
For smaller jobs, you can often get a quote without a visit. Send the product link or item details, photos, quantity and your postcode. Grouping several small tasks into one visit saves you time and money.
Decorating and flooring
Decorating quality comes from preparation: filling, sanding, priming and stain blocking. Flooring quality comes from what is underneath: levels, underlay, door clearances and trims. We include both in the scope so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our flooring comparison guide helps you choose between carpet, LVT and laminate.
Kitchens, bathrooms and refurbishments
Kitchen and bathroom work ranges from a refresh to a full strip-out and refit. Larger projects get a clear written scope covering the work, materials, order and responsibilities. Gas and electrical work is completed by suitably qualified or registered trades.
Landlords and businesses
We support Greenford landlords, letting agents and local businesses with repairs, decorating, flooring and turnaround work between tenancies. Send the site address, works list, photos and access details.

1930s homes: what to look out for
Many Greenford homes date from the 1930s. They are solidly built, but common issues include uneven floors, cracked plaster, older doors that stick, draughty windows and kitchens and bathrooms that have been altered over the years. Good preparation, such as levelling floors before LVT and filling cracks properly before decorating, makes a real difference to the finish.
Planning several jobs at once
If you are updating more than one room, the order matters:
- Repairs, carpentry and any plastering
- Kitchen or bathroom fitting
- Decorating, ceilings first, then walls, then woodwork
- Flooring
- Fitting shelves, curtains and furniture
Doing it in this order avoids damage to new finishes and repeated work.
Before and after a move
Greenford is popular with families moving into the area. If you are moving in, we can assemble furniture, mount TVs and blinds, and redecorate before you unpack. If you are moving out or selling, we can handle snagging, decorating and repairs.
Local visits from our Greenford base
Enquiries from Greenford Broadway, Greenford, Perivale and nearby Northolt are welcome. For a smaller job, send photos, the product link where relevant, your postcode and the complete list of tasks. For several rooms or a refit, add approximate measurements and your intended timing. We will confirm what can be quoted remotely and what needs a site assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Perivale and Northolt as well?
Yes. We cover Greenford, Perivale, Northolt and the surrounding West London areas.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes, for smaller jobs. Larger or unclear jobs may need a short visit first.
Do you supply materials?
We can quote for labour only, or for labour and materials. The quote will make clear which.
Do you work for landlords?
Yes. End-of-tenancy repairs, decorating and flooring are a regular part of our work.
Can you lay LVT over my existing floor?
Sometimes, if it is sound and level. Often the old floor needs removing or levelling first, which we will check before quoting.
Do you fit kitchens bought from big retailers?
Yes. Send the supplier's plan and item list so we can quote accurately.
