Building & Decorating in London
Plastering, decorating, refurbishments, patios and decking delivered by one accountable team.
About our building & decorating service
Between the emergency trades and the major projects sits most of what a property actually needs: walls made good, rooms redecorated, external joinery painted before it rots, a tired flat brought back to lettable standard. GEM delivers this work with directly managed trades, so plastering, decorating and finishing happen in the right order without you playing project manager.
Our decorating teams prepare properly — that is the entire difference between a finish that lasts eight years and one that peels in two. Externally, we handle render repairs, masonry painting and the patios, decking and boundary works that complete a property's presentation.
For full refurbishments we run the programme end to end under one quotation, from strip-out through to professional clean and photography for marketing.
Questions we hear about building & decorating
Can you turn a flat around between tenancies?
Yes — void turnarounds are core work for us. Give us the checkout report and the void dates and we will quote a fixed scope programmed to finish before the new tenancy.
Do you use your own decorators or subcontractors?
Our core trades are directly engaged and vetted; specialist works are delivered by long-standing partners under our supervision and our guarantee either way.
How do you price refurbishment work?
Fixed-price quotations from an agreed scope, with staged invoicing on larger projects. Variations only ever proceed with written approval through your portal.
