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.
How much should I budget for plasterers in Cosby?
Every job is priced individually on size, surface condition and finish. Send a few photos of your Cosby property on WhatsApp for a free fixed quote — usually the same day, with no hidden extras.
Do you cover Cosby?
Yes — our local decorators cover Cosby (LE9) and the surrounding area, including Littlethorpe, Narborough, Broughton Astley, Countesthorpe. Same-week slots are often available.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Cosby?
