What decorating really costs in Charlton — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Charlton — 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 Charlton?
Yes — every job in Charlton 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.
How soon can you start in Charlton?
Smaller Charlton 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 cover the rest of Greenwich?
Yes — Charlton is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Greenwich, alongside Westcombe Park, Kidbrooke with Hornfair, Blackheath Royal Standard, Woolwich Common. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
