How pricing works in Barbican.
Every job is different, so we price your Barbican project individually and give you a clear written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras. Here's what shapes your price:
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.

Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.

Fixed price, no day-rate creep
The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprises on the final day.
Prep-first promise
We never paint over problems. Cracks filled, surfaces sanded, gaps caulked — every time.
Your paint or ours
We supply trade paint at trade prices, or work happily with paint you've chosen.
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 Barbican project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

What decorating really costs in Barbican — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideDecorators in Barbican — FAQs.
How much do decorators charge?
Every room is different — size, condition and how much finishing work is involved. Send photos and a rough idea of what you want on WhatsApp and we'll come back with a free fixed quote.
What's the difference between a painter and a decorator?
A painter applies the paint; a decorator plans and finishes the whole room — colour scheme, wallpaper, mouldings and the small details that make it look professionally done. We offer both, so you get one team for the complete job.
Do decorators also hang wallpaper?
Yes — feature walls, whole rooms or a full strip-and-repaint, whichever suits the space. Send photos on WhatsApp and we'll advise the best approach along with a free fixed quote.
Which parts of Barbican do you cover?
All of it — Barbican (EC1M) is fully inside our patch, along with Aldersgate, Kenton West, Cripplegate, Smithfield. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Do you supply materials for Barbican 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.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Barbican?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Barbican businesses and busy households alike.
