What we paint in Somers Town.
Inside and out, big and small — if it takes paint, stain or paper, it's our job.
Woodwork and trim
Skirting, doors, frames, windowsills, stairs and banisters in satinwood or gloss.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.
Exterior surfaces
Render, masonry, cladding, fascias and front doors — weatherproofed properly.

See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Somers Town — 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 cover the rest of Camden?
Yes — Somers Town is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Camden, alongside Saint Pancras, Euston, St. Pancras and Somers Town, Cranbrook. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Do you supply materials for Somers Town 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 Somers Town?
Smaller Somers Town 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.
