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 Duns project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

Good to know

Plastering and Skimming in Duns — 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 Duns?

Every job is priced individually on size, surface condition and finish. Send a few photos of your Duns property on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote — usually the same day, with no hidden extras.

Are you insured to work in Duns?

Yes — every job in Duns 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.

Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Duns?

Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Duns businesses and busy households alike.
