See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Upper Clapton — 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 Upper Clapton?
Yes — every job in Upper Clapton 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.
Which parts of Upper Clapton do you cover?
All of it — Upper Clapton (E5) is fully inside our patch, along with Stamford Hill, West Hackney, Lower Clapton, Lea Bridge. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
How soon can you start in Upper Clapton?
Smaller Upper Clapton 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.
