What do you need from me to quote in Portsmouth?

Just fill in the form on this page with your Portsmouth postcode, a few details of the job and when you need it. Photos help but are optional.

Do you cover Landport and other parts of Portsmouth?

Yes. We cover the whole of Portsmouth, including Landport, Baffins, Stamshaw, Southsea, Fratton and North End, as well as Havant, Fareham, Chichester and Southampton.

Do I need to skim plasterboard or can I just tape and joint it?

Either works. Tape and joint is quicker and cheaper and gives a decoration-ready surface when done well. A full skim gives a harder, more uniform finish and is often preferred in homes and where walls will be seen in raking light.
