What sets decorating prices in Catford.
What you pay in Catford depends heavily on prep. Older properties around the London Borough of Lewisham often need filling, sanding and priming before colour goes anywhere near a wall — skipping it is how cheap quotes turn into expensive repaints. We survey from your photos, price the prep honestly and fix it in writing.
Paint and spec
Trade matt on walls is the baseline; scrubbable, moisture-resistant or heritage paints, deep colour changes and extra coats sit above it. We spec what the room needs and say why.
Access and protection
Working around your life adds time — masking, sheeting, moving and covering furniture, and keeping rooms usable each evening — and so does anything that needs towers or ladders to reach safely.
Surface condition
Sound walls need little more than a wash and fill; walls with blown plaster, peeling paint or stubborn paper need real prep first — and that prep is what separates an honest quote from a cheap one.
Size and surfaces
Wall and ceiling area, plus how much woodwork — skirting, doors, frames, windows — is in the spec. Woodwork is slower than walls, so it moves the price more than room count alone.
