Before you hire

Ask what preparation is included (removing wallpaper, beading, filling) and how long it'll need to dry before painting.

What to know for your type of home

Tenement flats: Older tenements often have lath-and-plaster ceilings and decorative cornice, which call for repair skills rather than a quick board-and-skim.
Older stone houses: Solid stone walls are often finished with traditional plaster on the hard. Damp patches should be diagnosed before re-plastering, and lime may be the right material.
Granite houses: Granite walls are usually lined or finished with traditional plaster. Damp needs diagnosing before replastering.
New-town homes: Artex ceilings are common in homes from this era. Artex applied before 2000 can contain asbestos, so get it tested before sanding or scraping.
Victorian villas: Period houses often have decorative cornice and ceiling roses that need repair, not removal.
New builds: Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so common jobs are skimming, patching settlement cracks and boarding lofts.
Coastal and exposed homes: Render and roughcast on exposed walls needs to be in good order to keep out driving rain.

How it works

Tell us the job. Give a short description, your postcode and roughly when.
We pass it to one local tradesperson who covers your area and does that kind of work. We pick one, not five, so your phone won't ring all day.
They contact you to arrange a visit or a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.

To be upfront about what we are: we're an independent quote-request service, not a trade company. We don't vet, insure or guarantee anyone's work, so always get a written quote and check the registrations that apply to your job.

Questions

Does it cost me anything?

No. It's free for homeowners and tenants. Some tradespeople pay us a small fee for an introduction.

How many people will contact me?

One. We share your request with one local tradesperson only. If they can't help, we'll ask you before passing it to anyone else.

Which areas do you cover?

Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Perth, Stirling and 18 more Scottish towns, listed below. If we can't find someone suitable, we'll tell you honestly.

Do you check the tradespeople?

We only pass jobs to businesses with a public address or trading history, but we're not an accreditation scheme. For gas work, check the Gas Safe Register. For electrics, check SELECT, NICEIC or NAPIT. Your local council's Trading Standards team can also advise.

Can I delete my details?

Yes. Email c243house@outlook.com and we'll delete them. See the privacy notice.
