How pricing works in Southwold.
Your quote in Southwold is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive 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.
What we paint in Southwold.
If a brush, roller or spray gun can reach it, we finish it properly.
Kitchens and cabinets
Sprayed factory-smooth finishes that transform kitchens without replacing them.
Garden timber
Fences, sheds, decking, pergolas and garden furniture, stained or painted.
Wallpaper
Hanging, pattern matching, stripping and lining — feature walls to whole houses.

Prep is our obsession.

See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Southwold — 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 Southwold?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Southwold businesses and busy households alike.
Do you supply materials for Southwold 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.
Do you cover Southwold?
Yes — our local decorators cover Southwold (IP18) and the surrounding area, including Wrentham, Kessingland, Halesworth, Yoxford. Same-week slots are often available.
