How pricing works in Portesham.
Your quote in Portesham 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.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Every surface in Portesham gets a finish chosen for how the room is actually used — not whatever tin was cheapest.
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 Portesham project keeps looking sharp for years. If a wall needs plastering rather than paint, we'll tell you honestly.

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 Portesham?
Yes — our local decorators cover Portesham (DT3) and the surrounding area, including Winterbourne Abbas, Chickerell, Overcombe, Dorchester. Same-week slots are often available.
Which parts of Portesham do you cover?
All of it — Portesham (DT3) is fully inside our patch, along with Winterbourne Abbas, Chickerell, Overcombe, Dorchester. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
Are you insured to work in Portesham?
Yes — every job in Portesham is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
