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 Chester-le-Street?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Chester-le-Street businesses and busy households alike.
Do you cover Chester-le-Street?
Yes — our local decorators cover Chester-le-Street (DH3) and the surrounding area, including Pelton, Birtley, Sacriston, Washington. Same-week slots are often available.
Do you supply materials for Chester-le-Street 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.
