Kitchens need different paint to bedrooms; woodwork needs different paint to walls. For your Aldgate project we spec the right finish for every surface — and explain why.
Prep is our obsession.

It's slower, and it's the only way your Aldgate project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Aldgate — 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 Aldgate?
Every job is priced individually on size, surface condition and finish. Send a few photos of your Aldgate property on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote — usually the same day, with no hidden extras.
How soon can you start in Aldgate?
Smaller Aldgate 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 Aldgate 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.
