What decorating really costs — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Hackney Central — 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.
Are you insured to work in Hackney Central?
Yes — every job in Hackney Central is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
Do you cover the rest of Hackney?
Yes — Hackney Central is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Hackney, alongside South Hackney, Hackney, Lower Clapton, Homerton. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Hackney Central?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Hackney Central businesses and busy households alike.
