Good to know

Plastering and Skimming in Penge and Cator — 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 Penge and Cator?

Yes — our local decorators cover Penge and Cator (SE20) and the surrounding area, including Penge, New Beckenham, Anerley, Clock House. Same-week slots are often available.

Which parts of Penge and Cator do you cover?
