A single room typically takes three to five days including framing, boarding, jointing, drying time and painting. Larger or more detailed schemes with coves and bulkheads take longer, and we will give you a day-by-day program with the quotation.

Yes, and the first step is always finding and fixing the source of the water. We then cut out the affected section, replace the board, joint it seamlessly into the existing ceiling and repaint so the repair is invisible.

A kitchen or bathroom typically takes four to six weeks. A full villa refurbishment usually runs twelve to twenty weeks depending on scope, structural content and approval timelines. You receive a written program before work begins.

Usually the day after the final paint coat. The program is driven by drying time between jointing coats, which is why a rushed ceiling cracks.

Yes, through cavity insulation, board layering, resilient fixings and careful perimeter sealing. We specify the build-up to the level of separation you need rather than assuming a standard wall will do it.

Yes, priming and painting are included in our ceiling scope as standard.

On a repair jointed into an existing ceiling and repainted wall to wall, yes. Painting only the patch will always show, which is why we price the full ceiling where the finish matters.
