Repainting before moving in, at the end of a lease or between tenants
An empty flat is repainted faster and more cleanly than a lived-in home. It's the right moment to redo walls and ceilings — and, if needed, cracks and damp marks.
Three situations
Before moving in
Repaint everything before the furniture arrives.
End of lease
Put the flat back in order before handing back the keys.
Between tenants
A clean, white home, ready to let again.
Why an empty flat changes everything
With no furniture to move or cover, the job runs straight through: ceilings, walls, frames, room after room. Preparation is simpler, edges are easier, and the home is left clean.
It's also the moment to spot what a furnished flat was hiding: cracks behind a wardrobe, damp behind a bed. Better to deal with them now than after moving in.
End of lease: check first
Many leases require the flat to be handed back repainted, sometimes in a specific colour. Reread yours before asking for a quote: the required colour and the rooms concerned change the job.
For a landlord between tenants, white throughout remains the simplest to maintain.
- Say in the questionnaire that the home is empty.
- Give a deadline: key handover, moving-in date.
- Mention the rooms to prioritise.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to repaint an empty flat?
Less than a lived-in home, since there's nothing to move. The exact time depends on the size and the state of the walls; it's set in the quote.
Can you work to a specific date?
Give your deadline in the questionnaire: it's taken into account when scheduling the job.
Do I need to be there during the work?
No, as long as access to the home is arranged. A joint check is done at the end, room by room.
