What it is
Painting & Decorating, properly explained.
Decorating is 80% prep and 20% paint. Anyone can roll a wall, the difference is in the filling, sanding, masking and primer underneath. We brush and roller two coats minimum, properly dust-sheeted, and we don't leave until the cutting-in lines are sharp and the finish is even.
What's included
- Full interior repaints, walls, ceilings, woodwork
- Heritage sash window restoration and repaint
- Exterior masonry painting on Bath stone, render and pebbledash
- Wallpaper hanging and wallpaper stripping
- Spindle, banister and staircase decoration
- Kitchen cabinet hand-painting in Tikkurila or Little Greene
- Front door restoration and repaint
- Render, eaves and bargeboard exterior
- Internal door painting, stripped and primed
