What decorating really costs in Old Street — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideCeiling Painting in Old Street — FAQs.
How much does it cost to paint a ceiling?
It depends on the ceiling's size, height and condition — a stained or textured ceiling takes longer than a flat, clean one. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll reply with a free fixed quote.
Will an old water stain show through the new paint?
Not if it's sealed properly first. We treat any watermark or stain with a specialist stain-blocking primer before painting, so it can't bleed back through the fresh coats.
Can you paint over an artex ceiling instead of removing it?
Yes — most artex is safely over-painted rather than sanded or stripped, which avoids disturbing any older material. It's the quickest way to freshen a textured ceiling without a full skim.
How soon can you start in Old Street?
Smaller Old Street jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Do you supply materials for Old Street jobs?
Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.
