Painters and Decorators in Ealing
Free quotes from painters and decorators in Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Chiswick and West Ealing – Victorian and Edwardian interiors, flats and house exteriors.
Ealing was once called the 'Queen of the Suburbs', and its streets of Victorian and Edwardian houses, many of them now split into flats, still define the area. Acton, Hanwell and West Ealing add terraces, mansion blocks and post-war estates to the mix.
If you need a room repainted, a whole flat refreshed or the outside of a house redecorated, you can compare quotes from painters who know West London's housing well.
Edwardian houses and converted flats
The red-brick Edwardian houses around Ealing Broadway, Pitshanger and the Brentham Garden Suburb have generous rooms, high ceilings and original joinery. Interior jobs here often involve repairing cracks in old plaster and bringing tired woodwork back to a smooth finish before any colour goes on.
Converted flats are their own category. Communal hallways need the freeholder's agreement, and painting a top-floor flat means carrying everything up several flights, so be clear about which areas you own when you request quotes.

What affects painter prices in Ealing
Painters and decorators in Ealing usually price a job after a visit or from photos and measurements. These are the local factors that tend to move the price:
- Upper-floor flats: no lift and stairs to climb add to the time on site.
- Sash windows: painting them so they still slide takes skill and time.
- Parking: controlled parking zones can add to costs for daily visits.

Painting outside in London: weather and permissions
London is relatively dry and mild, so the outdoor painting season is longer here than in most of the UK. The challenges are practical rather than climatic: stucco and painted brick fronts on busy roads pick up traffic grime, scaffolding on the pavement usually needs a council licence, and terraces with no rear access mean everything goes through the house.
Repainting in the existing colour rarely needs permission, but listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas covered by an Article 4 direction, can need consent to paint the front or change its colour. More on exterior painting.

Painters in Ealing: your questions answered
Can a decorator paint sash windows without sealing them shut?
A good decorator will paint sashes in stages, keep the runners free of paint and move the sashes as the paint dries so the windows still open. Mention sash windows when you request quotes.
Who pays to redecorate the communal hallway in my Ealing flat?
It's usually the freeholder or management company, with costs shared through the service charge. Check your lease – decorating communal areas without permission can cause problems.
