Say which rooms and surfaces are in scope, whether wallpaper is staying or coming off, and whether the property will be occupied — that changes protection and programme more than the postcode alone.
Exterior painting may need colour care on conservation streets and an address-specific consent check; internal redecoration still needs honest photos of cracks, stains and previous coatings before a safe price basis is written.
Premium ranges (for example Farrow & Ball or Little Greene) are used when the brief specifies them — brand, sheen and colour references belong in the written scope, not as a generic claim on this page.
Woodwork, radiators and both-sides door painting should be listed separately from walls so the Kilburn package is not under-scoped as a single room rate.
Weather windows and scaffold or ladder access decide exterior programmes around Kilburn; those logistics are confirmed against the property, not invented from the district label.
Occupied multi-room programmes in Kilburn need room order and furniture protection written into the method — not left as a verbal “we’ll manage”.
