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.
Which parts of Dry Drayton do you cover?
All of it — Dry Drayton (CB23) is fully inside our patch, along with Bar Hill, Oakington, Coton, Girton. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
How soon can you start in Dry Drayton?
Smaller Dry Drayton 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.
Are you insured to work in Dry Drayton?
