For a managing agent, we repainted the walls, woodwork and sills, with repairs where needed. We ordered the scaffold ourselves, so access was one less thing for the agent to organise. If you look after a block yourself, the points further down are worth settling before work starts.
In short
We carried out exterior painting on a block of flats in South Croydon between 13 and 26 October 2026. The cream walls are now white and the blue trim is dark grey, with repairs done where needed.
It’s useful if you’re a managing agent, freeholder or resident management company planning a repaint, because it also covers leaseholder consultation, scope, repairs and the scaffolding licence.

The cream walls are now white, and the blue trim on the sills and lower fascias is now dark grey. We carried out repairs where needed as part of the same job, so the agent had one contractor for the painting and the repairs.
The work ran from 13 to 26 October 2026.
October weather didn’t help. We worked around the showers and covered up where we could.
Autumn work needs room in the programme for this. If your repaint falls in October, agree how wet days will be handled before work starts, and how residents will hear about any change of dates.
This job ran from 13 to 26 October 2026, with showers on and off. The time on your building depends on its size, the repairs it needs and the weather. We’d give you dates after walking it.
Check the lease first, as it may set a decorating cycle. Planned programmes typically run every five to seven years, depending on the building and how exposed it is.
The price depends on the building’s size and height, the scaffold and the repairs. Leaseholders usually pay through the service charge, and the lease sets each flat’s share. We walk the building before we price it.
On this job we worked around the showers and covered up where we could. On your building, we’d agree how wet days are handled before work starts.
If any one leaseholder’s share would be more than £250 including VAT, Section 20 consultation generally applies. Check the current figure with LEASE or your solicitor, as the government has been reviewing the rules.
We ordered it on this job and can do the same on yours. If it stands on the pavement or road, it needs a scaffolding licence from the council, so agree who applies for it.
