MS Renovation & Maintenance does interior and exterior painting, wallpapering and timber restoration across North West London, from a single room to a whole property. Mohamad Sawwan protects the house while he works, clears up daily and builds the preparation time into the price. You get a free estimate before anything starts.
What our painting and decorating covers
- Interior painting. From a single repainted room to redecorating a whole property, matching or changing the colour scheme as you want it.
- Exterior painting. Render, brickwork trim and woodwork that has taken weather damage, prepared properly before paint goes on so it lasts.
- Wallpapering. A steady part of the work.
- Timber restoration. Doors, frames and skirting that have degraded, restored rather than simply replaced.
Preparation is the job
Painting and decorating is where a lot of jobs for MS Renovation & Maintenance end, whether that is the final step after a repair or a project on its own. Mohamad Sawwan protects the rest of the house while he works and clears up daily rather than leaving dust sheets down for a week.
Preparation takes longer than the painting itself on most jobs worth doing properly. That means filling cracks, sanding back flaking paint, treating any damp or mould before it is covered up, and masking off anything that should not get paint on it. Skipping this is the difference between a repaint that lasts a few years and one that starts peeling within months, so Mohamad builds the time for it into the estimate rather than rushing straight to the top coat.
Jobs we have done
The clearest exterior example is the exterior painting job in Edgware HA8: cracked, streaked render prepared and repainted, a contrast you can see from the street. Indoors, the damp repair and redecoration in Harlesden shows the other end of the job, a reception room with visible damp damage cleaned up and repainted, and the room refurbishment in Willesden had its walls repainted throughout as part of a wider refresh.

Common questions about painting and decorating
Do you prepare the surface before painting, or just paint over it?
Preparation is part of the job, especially outside: cracked or damaged render and woodwork gets dealt with first, so the paint actually lasts.
Can you match an existing colour scheme?
Yes, whether that is matching what is already there or helping you pick something different.
Do you do exterior work in winter?
Weather affects when exterior paint can go on properly. Ask at the estimate stage and Mohamad will give you an honest answer for the time of year and the specific job.
Is timber restoration cheaper than replacing a door or frame?
It depends on the condition of the timber. Send a photo and Mohamad can tell you whether restoration or replacement makes more sense before quoting.
What if there is damp or mould under the old paint?
It gets treated before repainting, not covered up. See damp and mould treatment for how that part of the job works.
