How pricing works in New Cross.
No price lists that pad the worst case — your New Cross project gets its own honest, fixed, written quote. These are the factors that set 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.
Spray finishes: kitchens, doors & uPVC.
Factory-smooth results without factory prices — sprayed kitchens, doors and uPVC in New Cross.
Kitchen spraying
Cabinet doors, frames and end panels resprayed in any colour — a new kitchen look without the rip-out.
uPVC windows & doors
White to anthracite (or any colour) with 10-year coating systems, sprayed on site.
Furniture & garage doors
Wardrobes, dressers and garage doors refinished to match your scheme.
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 New Cross 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 New Cross — 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 New Cross?
Yes — our local decorators cover New Cross (SE14) and the surrounding area, including New Cross Gate, Deptford, Lewisham Town Centre, Deptford Creek. Same-week slots are often available.
Do you supply materials for New Cross jobs?
Either way works: we supply quality trade paint as part of your quote, or you buy your own and we'll tell you exactly how much you need using our paint calculator.
Which parts of New Cross do you cover?
All of it — New Cross (SE14) is fully inside our patch, along with New Cross Gate, Deptford, Lewisham Town Centre, Deptford Creek. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
