What decorating really costs in South Hampstead — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in South Hampstead — 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 South Hampstead?
Yes — every job in South Hampstead 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.
Which parts of South Hampstead do you cover?
All of it — South Hampstead (NW6) is fully inside our patch, along with Swiss Cottage, Abbey Road, West Hampstead, Belsize. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Do you supply materials for South Hampstead 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.
