Holes filled and walls made smooth - picture hooks, damage, wear and tear all sorted. Property looking fresh for decorating or new tenants.
### Clean Walls, Better Lettings
Every tenant leaves holes. **Picture hooks, curtain poles, shelving, random DIY attempts** - by the time they move out, walls look like Swiss cheese.
Viewing potential with walls full of holes? Awful first impression. Fill them properly and walls look cared for.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Even if you're not redecorating, filled holes make properties look massively better at viewings. £60-80 for hole filling can be the difference between quick letting and weeks vacant.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Decorating too?** If you're having the walls painted after hole filling, coordinate both jobs together. I can fill one day, decorator paints next day - much more efficient than separate visits. **Drying times:** Small holes filled with standard filler dry in 2-4 hours. Deep holes or big damage might need 24 hours before painting. Plan timeline accordingly. **Touch-up paint:** If you've got exactly matching paint and just want holes touched up rather than whole room painted, I can do quick touch-ups. But matching paint perfectly is hard - whole room usually looks better. **Regular tenancies:** If you're getting holes filled between every tenancy, keep a pot of the paint colour at the property. Makes touch-ups much easier and faster.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hole filling rental in Newton Abbot
What kind of holes can you fill?
Picture hooks, curtain pole brackets, shelving holes, accidental damage, old cable runs - basically any holes in walls that need filling before decorating or for tenant changeover. From tiny pin holes to fist-sized damage.
Will the filled holes be ready to paint straight away?
Depends on the filler. Small holes can usually be painted same day. Bigger repairs with deeper filler need 24 hours to dry properly before painting. I'll tell you what's realistic for your timeline.
Do you paint over the filled areas?
I can do a quick touch-up paint if you've got matching paint there, but proper decoration is quoted separately. Most landlords get holes filled, then have the whole room painted for a uniform finish - looks much better.
How many holes can you fill in an hour?
Depends on size - maybe 20-30 small picture hook holes, or 5-10 larger holes that need proper filling and sanding. I'll quote based on what you've actually got after seeing photos or the property.
Is this part of end-of-tenancy prep?
Usually, yes. Tenants leave, walls are full of picture hooks and random holes. I fill them all as part of getting the property ready for the next letting. Can be done standalone or as part of full turnaround.
