How pricing works in Forest Hill.
Your quote in Forest Hill 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.
Spray finishes: kitchens, doors & uPVC.
A sprayed finish transforms tired kitchens, front doors and uPVC windows in Forest Hill for a fraction of replacement cost.
Kitchen spraying
Cabinet doors, frames and end panels resprayed in any colour — a new kitchen look without the rip-out.
uPVC windows & doors
White to anthracite (or any colour) with 10-year coating systems, sprayed on site.
Furniture & garage doors
Wardrobes, dressers and garage doors refinished to match your scheme.
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 Forest Hill project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

What decorating really costs — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Forest Hill — FAQs.
Do I need plastering or just filling?
If damage is localised — a few cracks or holes — filling and sanding is cheaper and we'll say so. Widespread cracking, blown patches or heavy texture usually mean a skim is the honest fix. Send photos and we'll tell you straight.
How soon can new plaster be painted?
Typically 4–7 days depending on conditions, and it must be mist-coated with watered-down emulsion first. We build that into the schedule so the paint finish lasts.
Can you get rid of an artex ceiling?
Yes — over-skimming is the standard, safe approach and leaves a flat modern ceiling. Older artex can contain asbestos, so we never sand it; skimming seals it safely.
Which parts of Forest Hill do you cover?
All of it — Forest Hill (SE23) is fully inside our patch, along with Honor Oak, Sydenham, Bell Green, Sydenham Hill. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
