How pricing works in Portobello.
Your quote in Portobello is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive it:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Portobello project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

What decorating really costs in Portobello — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideCeiling Painting in Portobello — 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.
Do you cover the rest of Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes — Portobello is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, alongside Colville, Ladbroke Grove, North Kensington, Notting Hill. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Which parts of Portobello do you cover?
All of it — Portobello (W11) is fully inside our patch, along with Colville, Ladbroke Grove, North Kensington, Notting Hill. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Are you insured to work in Portobello?
Yes — every job in Portobello is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
