What sets decorating prices in The Lane.
Access matters more in The Lane than people think: parking, permits and how far materials travel from van to wall all affect time on site. Working across the London Borough of Southwark and Peckham Rye, Peckham, South Camberwell, East Dulwich daily means we know the practicalities of your street and build them into the quote rather than springing them on you later.
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.
Surface condition
What's under the brush decides most of the price. Nicotine stains, damp patches or badly stripped paper all mean extra sealing and filling before a single topcoat goes on.
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
The logistics count: a lived-in home with furniture to shift and floors to sheet takes longer than an empty property, and stairwells or high ceilings mean proper access gear.
