What decorating really costs — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Maida Vale — 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.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Maida Vale?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Maida Vale businesses and busy households alike.
Do you cover the rest of Westminster?
Yes — Maida Vale is part of our coverage across the City of Westminster, alongside St John's Wood, Little Venice, Lisson Grove, Kilburn. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Are you insured to work in Maida Vale?
Yes — every job in Maida Vale 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.
