2–5 day typical turnaround · Letting-agent grade finish · Fixed quotes
What's included, and why it matters
What it is — Rapid full-property redecoration between tenancies — including full walls, ceilings, woodwork and any damage repair. Designed to get a property back on the market quickly without compromising on finish.
Who it's for — Private landlords, letting agents, property managers and build-to-rent operators across Newport, Cardiff and the wider South Wales region.
When you need it — Between tenancies, after damage deposits have been resolved, before re-marketing, or as part of a planned 2–4 year refresh cycle in a let property.
Why professional help matters — Every void week costs a landlord one week's rent. A 5-day full repaint that re-lets the property a fortnight earlier pays for itself many times over.
Listing a tired property loses applications, lengthens voids, attracts lower-quality tenants and depresses achievable rent — every week.
Risks of waiting
- Extended void periods costing 1–4 weeks' rent
- Fewer applications and lower-quality tenants
- Lower achievable rent due to dated condition
- Failed inventory check-ins on dirty or damaged paintwork
Common DIY mistakes
- Painting straight over scuffs without filling and sanding
- Using cheapest contract paint — fails before next tenant moves out
- Skipping woodwork — fresh walls under chipped trim look worse
- Not co-ordinating with check-out / check-in inventory dates

How long does end-of-tenancy painting take to complete?
Smaller jobs are typically finished in 1–3 working days. Larger projects are scheduled in clear stages with a written start and finish date. We always confirm timeline at quote stage and stick to it — no overruns, no surprises.
Do you provide a written guarantee on end-of-tenancy painting?
Yes. Every project is backed by our workmanship guarantee. If anything fails due to application within the guarantee period we'll return and put it right at no cost. Full terms are included on every written quote.
How long will the finish last?
When properly prepared and applied with trade-grade products, interior finishes typically last 7–10 years and exterior finishes 8–12 years before any major redecoration is needed. Surface, sunlight exposure and traffic all influence lifespan.

Can you start urgently if needed?
For end-of-tenancy turnarounds, sale-prep redecoration and commercial deadlines we keep emergency capacity in the diary. Call 07805 287165 to check earliest start dates this week.
Do I need to move furniture or empty the room?
No. We bring dust sheets, masking film and corner protectors and move furniture to the centre of the room before fully covering it. Rooms are left clean, hoovered and reset at the end of every working day.
