How pricing works in Long Reach.
Your quote in Long Reach is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive it:
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.

See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Long Reach — 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 the rest of Bexley?
Yes — Long Reach is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Bexley, alongside Purfleet-on-Thames, Slade Green, North End, Erith Riverside. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
How soon can you start in Long Reach?
