See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Angel — 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 Angel?
Yes — our local decorators cover Angel (N1) and the surrounding area, including Pentonville, St. Peter's, Islington, Barnsbury. Same-week slots are often available.
How soon can you start in Angel?
Smaller Angel 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.
Which parts of Angel do you cover?
All of it — Angel (N1) is fully inside our patch, along with Pentonville, St. Peter's, Islington, Barnsbury. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
