Hammersmith has a genuine mix of property types — Victorian terraces around the town centre, larger period houses towards Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park, and riverside apartments closer to the Thames. That range means costs vary more here than a single “average price” would suggest. Here’s a realistic breakdown for budgeting.
These are guide prices — every property is different, and the only way to get an accurate number is a proper look at the job.
Cost by Room
Single room (bedroom, home office, small reception room): roughly £350–£650.
Living room or larger reception room: roughly £500–£950, with the larger period reception rooms around Brook Green often sitting at the top of this range.
Kitchen: roughly £400–£800.
Bathroom: roughly £300–£550.
Hallway and staircase: roughly £450–£950.
Cost by Property Type
One or two-bedroom flat or riverside apartment, full interior repaint: typically £1,200–£2,400.
Three or four-bedroom Victorian or Edwardian house (typical of Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park), full interior repaint: typically £2,600–£4,800, reflecting the larger rooms and higher ceilings common in this part of the borough.
Full exterior repaint: typically £1,800–£4,000, depending on the property’s height and access.
What Actually Moves the Price
- Property age and size. Hammersmith’s larger period houses around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park take genuinely longer to paint than a standard flat or modern property.
- Preparation work. Filling cracks, sanding, and treating damp or staining all add time before painting starts.
- Number of coats. Covering a dark or patchy colour typically needs three coats rather than two.
- Access. Taller period houses or riverside apartments sometimes need specific access equipment for exterior work.
- Original features. Cornicing, ceiling roses, and picture rails common in Hammersmith’s period properties take longer to work around neatly than a plain modern ceiling.
