How pricing works in Highbury.
Your quote in Highbury 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.
Trust built on guarantees, not gimmicks.
No invented star ratings here — just clear promises we keep on every job.

Filling, sanding, caulking and priming on every job. We never paint over problems — prep decides the finish.
