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 Chelmsford?
Yes — our local decorators cover Chelmsford (CM1) and the surrounding area, including Writtle, Boreham, Margaretting, Great Waltham. Same-week slots are often available.
Which parts of Chelmsford do you cover?
All of it — Chelmsford (CM1) is fully inside our patch, along with Writtle, Boreham, Margaretting, Great Waltham. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Are you insured to work in Chelmsford?
Yes — every job in Chelmsford 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.
