How pricing works in Fair Oak.
No price lists that pad the worst case — your Fair Oak project gets its own honest, fixed, written quote. These are the factors that set 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 Fair Oak project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

- Dust sheets everywhere — Floors, stairs and furniture fully covered before a single tin is opened.
- Masking and shielding — Sockets, switches, glass, hinges and hardware taped and protected.
- Furniture handled with care — Moved, centred and covered — and put back exactly where it was.
- Daily tidy-up — Tools packed, sheets folded, rooms liveable at the end of every day.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Kitchens need different paint to bedrooms; woodwork needs different paint to walls. For your Fair Oak project we spec the right finish for every surface — and explain why.

What decorating really costs in Fair Oak — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Fair Oak — 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 local to Fair Oak?
Yes — we're a local team covering Fair Oak (SO50) and the surrounding area, including Bishopstoke, Colden Common, Eastleigh, West End. That means a nearby crew, fast quotes and flexible dates with no travel premium.
