Your paint or ours
We supply trade paint at trade prices, or work happily with paint you've chosen.
How we protect your home.
- Dust sheets everywhere — Floors, stairs and furniture fully covered before a single tin is opened.
- Masking and shielding — Sockets, switches, glass, hinges and hardware taped and protected.
- Furniture handled with care — Moved, centred and covered — and put back exactly where it was.
- Daily tidy-up — Tools packed, sheets folded, rooms liveable at the end of every day.
Prep is our obsession.

What decorating really costs — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Harlesden — 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 Harlesden?
Yes — every job in Harlesden 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 Harlesden?
Yes — our local decorators cover Harlesden (NW10) and the surrounding area, including Old Oak Common, Stonebridge, Willesden, Tokyngton. Same-week slots are often available.
