Drywall Installation & Repair in Káto Lakatámeia

Usually not. Most drywall contractors leave the wall sanded and primed (or just sanded), ready for your painter. Ask explicitly — some will prime and paint the patch for an extra fee, but colour-matching an aged painted wall often means repainting the whole wall.

Even a small patch takes 2-3 visits or one long day, because joint compound needs drying time between coats. A typical patch is fill day one, sand and second coat day two, final sand and ready for paint day three. Quick-set compounds can compress this to one day for small jobs.

Holes smaller than a fist are a reasonable DIY job with a patch kit. Anything larger than about 30 cm, ceiling repairs, or water damage is worth hiring out — matching the surrounding texture and getting invisible joints takes practice and proper tools.

Look for pros in Káto Lakatámeia with recent photos of finished (painted) work, not just taped joints — finishing quality is where drywall jobs succeed or fail. Ask what finish level they quote (a Level 4 or 5 smooth finish costs more than a basic tape-and-fill) and whether sanding dust control is included.

Small patch repairs (nail holes, door-knob dents) typically run the price of a 1-2 hour call-out, while larger holes or water-damaged sections cost more because they need cutting back to studs, new board, taping and up to three coats of joint compound. Whole-wall or ceiling replacement is priced per square metre or square foot.

Yes, almost all do. Small patches are priced as a minimum call-out (often 1-2 hours of labour plus materials) because of travel and return visits for coats. Bundling several small repairs into one visit is the cheapest way to get patches done.

Mostly no — traditional construction is brick/block with cement or gypsum plaster. Drywall appears in newer builds, loft conversions and office partitions. Check what you have before booking: solid-wall damage needs a plasterer.
