A Greenford room with newly skimmed walls and ceiling, ready to dry before decorating.
The Greenford flat
The project photo shows a large room with a fresh plaster finish on its walls and ceiling. The smooth surfaces still need to dry before decoration.
What this example shows
A neat finish depends on assessing the background and preparing the surfaces before applying the final coat. The photo shows the resulting wall and ceiling finish, not the earlier preparation.
The brief and the existing surface
Project photographs should show both the damage and the wider room. The condition of the background guides the choice between local repairs, boarding, bonding and a new skim. The agreed scope should describe the surfaces included.
Preparation before finishing
Protecting the space, removing loose material and making good damaged areas all come before the final coat. Corners, openings and the transition to existing surfaces deserve the same attention as the centre of a wall.
The finished result
A smooth finish gives decorators a better starting point. After the plastering is complete, allow the surface to dry and check the advice for the primer or mist coat before painting.
Reading the Greenford room photo
The wide view shows the overall finish across a large room, including the long wall and ceiling details. It shows the result at this stage; it cannot establish what materials or fixing methods lie behind the visible surface.
For a similar room, photograph the whole area and the corners, openings and any damaged patches. A written quote can then say exactly which walls and ceiling areas are included, what preparation is needed and when decoration can begin.
Before you book
How do I request a quote?
Send your postcode, photographs of the whole area and close-ups of any damage. Explain what finish you want and whether other work is planned.
Does a finished photo show how a wall was prepared?
No. A photo of the finished surface cannot prove which background repairs or materials were used. Ask for the preparation and materials to be stated in the quotation.
