Where a project matches a band we publish on our pricing page, the calculator uses that exact band rather than a figure of its own.
Every band below assumes Dulux Trade paint, good surface condition and a Hampstead NW3 address. The three adjustment tables further down show how paint specification, surface condition and postcode move the figure.

Three adjustments are applied to the guide band above, then the result is rounded to the nearest £50. Nothing else is added: labour, materials, preparation, protection and clean-up are already inside the band. Scaffolding and specialist access for exterior work are quoted separately where they are needed.

Our calculator provides a realistic ballpark range based on completed projects across Hampstead and North London. Final pricing is confirmed after a free site visit where we assess the exact scope, surface conditions, access requirements, and your chosen specification.
All estimates include labour, paint and materials, surface preparation (filling, sanding, priming), furniture and floor protection, and full clean-up. Scaffolding for exterior work and specialist access equipment are quoted separately where required.
Pricing reflects local factors including parking permit costs, congestion charges, typical property sizes, access complexity, and the prevalence of period features. Hampstead Village and Belsize Park properties tend to have more ornate detailing that requires additional time and expertise.
For most projects, we can schedule a start date within 2–4 weeks of accepting a quote. Urgent void property turnarounds and smaller projects can often be accommodated within days. We always provide a clear timeline at the quoting stage.
Yes. Every quote is free and there is no obligation. We visit your property, discuss your requirements in detail, and provide a written, itemised quotation within 24–48 hours of your survey.
