Fitzrovia Painters & Decorators · London W1T / W1W
From the townhouse drawing room to the working studio. Painting and decorating with attention to the surface, the setting and the way you use the space.
Fitzrovia Painters & Decorators is the painting & decorating division of Hampstead Renovations Limited (Company No. 16838595).
An individual approach to each propertySpaces we decorate
Some projects begin with a change of colour. Others follow a letting, a studio move or the next cycle of common-parts maintenance. We start by defining the work your property needs.
01 / Townhouses & stucco
Tall walls, a deep cornice, shutters meeting a sash: the colour belongs to the whole room. We discuss each surface, the repairs it needs and the details to retain before settling the decoration.

In an open studio, a newly painted wall sits beside desks, cables and unfinished brick. Define the painted surfaces and the equipment to protect, then arrange the work around the team using the space.

A flat above a shop may have only one narrow way in. Carrying materials, protecting the stair and keeping the entrance usable need to be considered alongside the rooms themselves.

The neighbourhood
The formal fronts of Fitzroy Square and the smaller buildings around Charlotte Street call for different decisions about paint. On one street, the question may be an existing stucco finish; on another, the timber entrance serving the rooms over a shop.
Camden: Fitzroy Square appraisal · Charlotte Street appraisal
Fitzrovia crosses Camden and Westminster. Conservation boundaries, highway permissions and building approvals need checking for the particular address; a W1 postcode does not settle them.

Shared entrances & staircases
A communal entrance is used throughout the day. Residents still need their doors, deliveries still arrive and the stairs must remain safely usable. A decorating proposal should explain how each part of the route will be managed.
For a mansion block, identify the walls, ceiling, balustrade and individual door faces within the instruction. Agree the colour schedule with the person authorised to act for the building, and record any fire-safety requirements before work is specified.
Plan the common-parts work
Small houses, close neighbours
A painted door, a window reveal and a short run of railing can define a modest frontage. The brief should distinguish timber from metal, previously painted masonry from bare brick, and sound coatings from areas that need investigation.
For a mews or courtyard property, include the route for equipment and the space available at the door. Tell us about neighbouring entrances and shared access arrangements so the proposed work accounts for the whole setting.
Painting for mews housesColour, material & light
Separate plaster, existing paint, timber and metal in the scope. Persistent damp or failing material needs attention before a decorative finish is chosen.
View colour beside the floor and fittings, in daylight and under the room’s own lamps. Check the sheen as carefully as the shade.
A room-by-room schedule keeps colour references, preparation and exclusions together. Include any permission or freeholder condition affecting the work.
Planning the work
Find out how access, property approvals and the intended finish shape a Fitzrovia decorating enquiry.
Enquiries can cover a townhouse, an upper-floor flat, a compact mews home, a converted studio or a shared entrance. Describe the surfaces you want considered and how the building is occupied. We can then discuss the appropriate scope, preparation and access arrangements.
Tell us which door serves the flat, the number of stair flights and whether anyone shares that route. Explain who owns or manages the windows, outer door and common parts. These details help separate the private-room brief from work that needs another party’s agreement.
An occupied-floor enquiry should identify an area that can be cleared and released, the equipment remaining and the person coordinating staff access. Give any preferred evening or weekend window with the landlord’s rules. A programme depends on the work involved and the permissions that apply.
No. Fitzrovia spans Camden and the City of Westminster. Cleveland Street forms part of the boundary, and there are separate conservation designations on each side, including Charlotte Street West in Westminster. Check the exact address before seeking permission for the proposed treatment.
The existing finish, designation and any building-wide colour schedule need checking first. For a listed building, a change in coating or preparation can matter alongside the shade. Bring previous approvals and colour references so the proposed finish can be considered in its proper context.
The company correspondence address is Unit 3 Palace Court, 250 Finchley Road, London NW3 6DN. Fitzrovia is the focus of this painting and decorating website. Include the W1T or W1W project address in your enquiry so we can discuss the premises where work is proposed.
