Getting to know Wimbledon
Wimbledon Village & the Common
Large Victorian and Edwardian villas — tall bay windows, ornate original woodwork, and exterior stone and render detailing that needs a careful hand.
The Broadway
Mixed housing near the station — Victorian terraces alongside newer flats and conversions.
South Wimbledon & Colliers Wood
Smaller Victorian terraces and 1930s conversions, closer in style to Croydon and Dulwich than the villas near the Common.
Merton Park
Arts and Crafts-style houses built to a coordinated design in the early 1900s, with more decorative brick and tile detailing around doors and windows.
What we do in Wimbledon
Exterior Painting in Wimbledon
Villa-scale properties around the Village and the Common need this on original sash windows and door frames before the surrounding stonework or render gets repainted.
See the exterior page →Wood & Window Stripping in Wimbledon
The two services come up together most on the larger properties near the Village and the Common — original sash windows and door frames typically need stripping first.
See the woodwork page →Interior Painting in Wimbledon
Nearer the Broadway and down towards South Wimbledon, terraces and flats are a different job — without the scale of exterior prep the villas need.
See the interior page →Wallpapering in Wimbledon
A refresh in a hallway or bedroom comes up often in the terraces and flats nearer the centre.
See the wallpaper page →Paint Spraying in Wimbledon
The newer flats and conversions near the Broadway are the more likely spot for kitchen cabinet spraying — fitted units in good condition that just need refinishing rather than replacing.
See the spraying page →Anti-Vandal Coatings in Wimbledon
Anti-vandal, wipe-clean coatings aren't a typical Wimbledon enquiry — most of what we do here is the residential work described above — but we'd quote it the same as anywhere else for retail or office space near the Broadway or the station.
See the commercial page →Commercial & Landlord / EOT in Wimbledon
The newer flats and conversions near the Broadway turn over often enough that a fast, inventory-ready repaint between tenants comes up alongside the general interior work described above.

Four steps. The middle two are where most of the time — and most of the difference — lives.
Consult
We come out, look at the job, talk through what you want. No charge for the visit or the quote.
Prepare
Fill, sand, caulk, mask. Where most of the time goes, and most of the difference is made.
Paint
Two coats minimum, cut in by hand, rolled flat. Quality paint, the right tools, the right order.
Clean up
Hoover, wipe down, take the rubbish with us. You wouldn't know we'd been — except for the finish.
Wimbledon is further from our Beckenham base than any of the other towns we cover. It’s South West London, not South East London or Kent, so a Wimbledon job gets planned into the schedule as a dedicated day (or block of days) rather than squeezed in between two nearby jobs — that doesn’t change the standard of work. The Croydon tramlink that runs into Wimbledon is one of the few direct transport links between the towns we cover — roughly why Croydon, and Dulwich along the South Circular, are the nearest of our other towns rather than anywhere in Kent (see the areas nearby list below).
It’s also backed by a real completed job. A verified 10/10 Checkatrade review from an SW19 postcode: “Professional, friendly and hardworking. I was so pleased with the work done. I highly recommend Daking Decorators.” It’s a general review rather than one tied to a specific room or surface, but it’s one of seven verified reviews on the same profile, all scored 10/10.
What Wimbledon’s housing looks like
Around Wimbledon Village and the Common, expect large Victorian and Edwardian villas — tall bay windows, ornate original woodwork, and the kind of exterior stone and render detailing that needs a careful hand rather than a quick roll-over. Closer to the Broadway and the station, there’s more mixed housing: Victorian terraces alongside newer flats and conversions. Further down towards South Wimbledon and Colliers Wood, the housing shifts again into smaller Victorian terraces and 1930s conversions — closer in style to what we see across Croydon and Dulwich than the villas near the Common. Merton Park, on the borough’s southern edge, adds a third type again — Arts and Crafts-style houses built to a coordinated design in the early 1900s, with more decorative brick and tile detailing around doors and windows than the plainer Victorian terraces nearby, which usually means more careful masking during exterior work rather than a bigger job overall. One practical thing worth knowing if you’re near the All England Club: during the Championships fortnight in late June and early July, roads around Church Road and the Common get resident-permit and event-day restrictions. Not a reason to avoid booking work then, but something we plan parking and access around if the timing lines up.
What decorating jobs in Wimbledon usually involve
The villa-scale housing near the Village and the Common is where the review above sets the standard that matters most: friendly, hardworking, and finished to a level the client was genuinely pleased with — on properties where the woodwork and render detailing leave no room for a rushed job to hide. Exterior painting and wood and window stripping are the two services that come up together most on these larger properties, since original sash windows and door frames typically need stripping before the surrounding stonework or render gets repainted. Nearer the Broadway and down towards South Wimbledon, the terraces and flats are a different job — interior painting or a wallpapering refresh in a hallway or bedroom, without the scale of exterior prep the villas need.
Services most relevant in Wimbledon
Villa-scale properties around the Village and the Common tend to need exterior painting and wood and window stripping on original sash windows and door frames. Terraces and flats nearer the centre are more often interior painting or a full wallpapering refresh in a hallway or bedroom.
What does exterior painting cost in Wimbledon?
There's no fixed Wimbledon rate we can quote without seeing the job, but as a real guide: for exterior painting, a typical 3-bed house exterior — masonry, render, fascias and woodwork — typically runs £2,500–£4,500.

“Akin painted our bedroom and living room. He did a great job he was very detailed and thorough and left the place extremely tidy. We're very satisfied with the work and will use him again. He was also very polite and friendly.”
“Incredibly happy and grateful with the service and quality of work received. David was very clear and communicative in advance, and the work speaks for itself. Thanks ever so much! Before/afters attached.”
“Professional, friendly and hardworking. I was so pleased with the work done. I highly recommend Daking Decorators.”
“Akinpelu was super good. Very friendly and professional, highly recommended.”
“We have used David's services a couple of times now - one to paint our hallway upstairs and down, and our ceilings. He is meticulous, neat and tidy, he also goes the extra effort to make sure surfaces are well prepared (something I would never bother myself) but it actually makes all the difference to the finish. It feels like he really takes care in what he does which is nice. Lastly he is just a lovely person to work with and also communicates quickly and clearly. My partner and I highly recommend and will be using his services again very soon!”
“Akin is an exceptional painter/decorator & I highly recommend him. He painted a newly plastered room/ceiling & 2 others rooms with poor existing paintwork. He goes above & beyond; rather than masking flaws, he meticulously sanded surfaces & repaired blown plaster. The final paint finish is excellent & absolutely flawless. He's a true perfectionist with a superb eye for detail. Akin worked tirelessly, kept the site spotless & hit our tight deadline. Highly skilled, reliable, punctual & a total pleasure to deal with. We won't hesitate to use him again. Akin has truly transformed our home!”
