See prices guidePlastering and Skimming in Sydenham — 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 Sydenham?
Yes — our local decorators cover Sydenham (SE26) and the surrounding area, including New Beckenham, Bell Green, Perry Vale, Penge and Cator. Same-week slots are often available.
Do you cover the rest of Lewisham?
Yes — Sydenham is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Lewisham, alongside New Beckenham, Bell Green, Perry Vale, Penge and Cator. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
Are you insured to work in Sydenham?
Yes — every job in Sydenham 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.
