How pricing works in Dalston.
No price lists that pad the worst case — your Dalston project gets its own honest, fixed, written quote. These are the factors that set 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 Dalston project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.
