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 Sandown 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 Sandown — 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 Sandown?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Sandown businesses and busy households alike.
How soon can you start in Sandown?
Smaller Sandown 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 Sandown?
Yes — our local decorators cover Sandown (PO36) and the surrounding area, including Brading, Shanklin, Bembridge, Ventnor. Same-week slots are often available.
