Wondering what it costs to get your flat painted in London? Here’s a realistic breakdown for 2026.

Average Costs by Flat Size

• • Studio flat: £400–£600

• • 1-bedroom: £600–£900

• • 2-bedroom: £900–£1,400

• • 3-bedroom: £1,300–£2,000+

Prices include walls and ceilings. Woodwork (skirting, doors, frames) adds £150–£400 depending on the flat.

What Affects the Price?

• • Room size and ceiling height – Victorian flats with high ceilings cost more

• • Wall condition – cracks, damp patches, or peeling paint need prep work

• • Paint quality – trade paint lasts longer but costs more upfront

• • Furniture – moving and covering furniture adds time

• • Location – Central London rates are higher than outer zones
