How pricing works in Croydon.
Your quote in Croydon 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.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Croydon 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 Croydon — 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.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Croydon?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Croydon businesses and busy households alike.
Are you insured to work in Croydon?
Yes — every job in Croydon 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.
Do you cover Croydon?
Yes — our local decorators cover Croydon (CR0) and the surrounding area, including Croydon Town Centre, East Croydon, West Croydon, South Croydon. Same-week slots are often available.
