See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Custom House — 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.
Do you supply materials for Custom House 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.
How soon can you start in Custom House?
Smaller Custom House 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 Custom House?
Yes — our local decorators cover Custom House (E16) and the surrounding area, including Royal Docks, Canning Town South, Silvertown, Canning Town. Same-week slots are often available.
