What happens after you get in touch
- 1
We talk through the job
A short call or a reply to your message so we understand the rooms or elevations involved, the current state of the walls, and when you would like the work done. If photos make it clearer, send them over and we can often price without a visit.
- 2
A free site visit where it helps
For larger jobs, render work, or anything involving damp, Steve will come out and look properly. Site visits and estimates are free and there is no obligation to book.
- 3
A written quote, usually within 24 hours
You get a clear price in writing, with the preparation, materials and finish spelled out, plus what is not included. No day rates that drift and no vague allowances.
- 4
Dates confirmed in writing
Once you are happy, we book the start date and let you know how many days on site to expect, what access we need, and what needs clearing beforehand.
What to include in your enquiry
The more detail you can give us up front, the faster and more accurate your quote will be. Rough measurements are fine, and a couple of phone photos usually tell us more than a paragraph of description.
- Type of work: skim, float and set, render, dry lining, coving, lime or polished plaster
- How many rooms, walls or elevations are involved
- Approximate room sizes or ceiling heights
- Whether walls are bare brick, old plaster, or new board
- Any damp patches, blown render, or cracking you have noticed
- Your postcode and rough timescale
Where we work
We are based at Unit 20 Bridge Works in Titchfield and work across Fareham and the wider South Hampshire area, including Fareham, Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport, Titchfield, Whiteley, Park Gate, Stubbington, Winchester, along with the surrounding villages. If you are just outside that list, ask anyway. Travel is usually fine for a job of reasonable size, and we will tell you straight away if it is not.
We work with homeowners, landlords, builders and letting agents. Whether it is a single ceiling that needs re-skimming before decorating or a full house re-plaster during a renovation, the process and the free quote are the same.
