What decorating really costs — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Hornsey — 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 Hornsey?
Yes — every job in Hornsey 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 supply materials for Hornsey 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.
Do you cover the rest of Haringey?
Yes — Hornsey is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Haringey, alongside Crouch End, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, Muswell Hill. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
