IMPORTANT:

• Above prices are net prices (prices excluded from VAT)

• Please note that in some areas like lofts, staircases, bulkheads, small details, and rooms above 3 meters high – the price can be higher and will be discussed before any work can happen.

Where we have provided our quotation based on square meterage (sqm), we do not deduct openings smaller than 3 sqm.

For example, if we do plastering around a window, door, entrance, etc., smaller than 3 sqm, the total size of the opening will be included within quoted square meterage.

Where the opening is more significant than this (3 sqm), the square meterage is calculated based on half of the size of the opening.

“Opening” includes windows, doors, entrance, open plan etc.

In case your surfaces need additional preparation or strengthening, please find the options below:

* Plastering over brickwork or blockwork. 

*Fiberglass Mesh installation to strengthen the weak surfaces and prevent cracks. 

*Apply deep penetration primer. Strengthens substrates, seals them, and increases adhesion of putty and adhesive mortars to the substrate.  

*Apply Grit primer to provide an improved key to smooth surfaces before plastering. 

*Other repairs -straightening of uneven surfaces, filling holes or chases. 

For all the above services we charge an additional £45/hrs and it will be discussed if necessary before work commencement.
