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 Ham project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

Good to know

Plastering and Skimming in Ham — 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.

Do you supply materials for Ham jobs?

Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.

How soon can you start in Ham?

Smaller Ham jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.

Do you cover the rest of Richmond upon Thames?

Yes — Ham is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, alongside Richmond, Petersham, Eel Pie Island, Twickenham. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
