How pricing works in Paddington.
Your quote in Paddington is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive it:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Spray finishes: kitchens, doors & uPVC.
A sprayed finish transforms tired kitchens, front doors and uPVC windows in Paddington for a fraction of replacement cost.
Kitchen spraying
Cabinet doors, frames and end panels resprayed in any colour — a new kitchen look without the rip-out.
uPVC windows & doors
White to anthracite (or any colour) with 10-year coating systems, sprayed on site.
Furniture & garage doors
Wardrobes, dressers and garage doors refinished to match your scheme.

- Furniture handled with care — Moved, centred and covered — and put back exactly where it was.

Finishes matched to every surface.
Kitchens need different paint to bedrooms; woodwork needs different paint to walls. For your Paddington project we spec the right finish for every surface — and explain why.

What decorating really costs — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Paddington — 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.
How much should I budget for plasterers in Paddington?
Every job is priced individually on size, surface condition and finish. Send a few photos of your Paddington property on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote — usually the same day, with no hidden extras.
How soon can you start in Paddington?
Smaller Paddington 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 supply materials for Paddington 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.
