How pricing works in Clapton.
Every job is different, so we price your Clapton project individually and give you a clear written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras. Here's what shapes your price:
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.
Prep is our obsession.
Cracks filled and sanded flat. Gaps caulked so lines stay crisp. Stains blocked, bare patches primed, old wallpaper stripped properly — not papered over. It's slower, and it's the only way your Clapton project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Clapton — 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 Clapton?
Yes — every job in Clapton 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 Clapton do you cover?
All of it — Clapton (E5) is fully inside our patch, along with Lower Clapton, Upper Clapton, Cazenove, Hackney Downs. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Clapton?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Clapton businesses and busy households alike.
