How much does it cost to paint an office? ▼
Cost depends on the size of the space, the condition of existing surfaces (prep work is often the largest variable), the specification of finishes, and access requirements. A single open-plan office floor of 2,000–4,000 sq ft typically falls between £2,500 and £8,000 fully decorated. We provide fixed-price quotes after a site visit — no provisional sums or estimates that change on delivery.
How long does an office repaint take? ▼
A single floor of open-plan office space typically takes two to four working nights or an equivalent number of days in an unoccupied building, depending on specification and surface condition. Heavily marked walls requiring significant prep, or specialist finishes, take longer. We provide a realistic timeline at the quote stage — not a best-case estimate.
Can you paint our office without disrupting our team? ▼
We work around your business hours where disruption is a concern — evenings, weekends, or phased room by room through quieter periods. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and we'll build a programme around them before we quote. We protect all surfaces, furniture and flooring before starting. For larger spaces, a phased approach means only one section is out of use at a time.
Do you do partial repaints and touch-ups? ▼
Yes, though we'll be honest with you about where a partial repaint is the right answer and where it isn't. Touch-ups and patches can look worse than the original problem if the existing paintwork has faded or the finish doesn't match precisely. We'll advise on the most cost-effective approach during the site visit — sometimes that means recommending a full wall rather than a patch.
What paint finishes do you use for commercial offices? ▼
For walls in most commercial offices, we specify a mid-sheen or eggshell finish for durability — flat matt marks and scuffs easily and doesn't wash clean. Ceilings are typically flat matt emulsion. High-traffic areas are specified with anti-scuff or washable coatings as standard. We work with Dulux Trade, Johnstone's Trade and Crown Trade as primary suppliers.
Do you provide a colour specification service? ▼
We can advise on colour options and finish specifications during the site visit and will work with your brand guidelines or existing palette if you have one. We don't provide a standalone interior design service, but for most commercial office repaints the colour decisions are relatively straightforward and we can guide you through them without needing an additional consultant.
Are you CHAS accredited? ▼
Yes. Renova Projects holds CHAS accreditation and NAFDI membership. Full insurance documentation, method statements and risk assessments are available on request and provided as standard in our pre-construction pack. For managing agents and institutional landlords with a contractor approval process, our compliance file is ready to submit without delay.
Can you match existing paint colours? ▼
We use spectrophotometer colour matching for partial repaints where an existing colour needs to be matched. Results are generally very close but rarely perfect, particularly on older finishes that have faded. We'll tell you honestly at the site visit whether a colour match is the right approach or whether a section repaint would give a better result.
Do you cover offices outside Central London? ▼
Yes. We cover London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, Sussex and Hertfordshire — the full South East. Our head office is in Westerham, Kent, which puts us well placed for the M25 corridor and South East commercial property as well as Central London. Contact us with your location and we'll confirm coverage before you invest time in an enquiry.
