How pricing works in Islington.
Every job is different, so we price your Islington project individually and give you a clear written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras. Here's what shapes your price:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.

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.

What decorating really costs in Islington — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Islington — 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 insured to work in Islington?
Yes — every job in Islington 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.
How soon can you start in Islington?
Smaller Islington 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 the rest of Islington?
Yes — Islington is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Islington, alongside Essex Road, St. Peter's, Canonbury, Angel. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
