How pricing works in South Ockendon.

Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.

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.

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 South Ockendon?
Yes — our local decorators cover South Ockendon (RM15) and the surrounding area, including Belhus, Aveley, Chafford Hundred, West Thurrock. Same-week slots are often available.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in South Ockendon?
