Interior painting.

  • I do all the usual interior painting of ceilings, walls and woodwork.
  • I also use a wide range of the best products for problems situations such as staining, areas with poor ventilation and areas subject to heavy wear. I`m happy to specify and source paints for a wide range of contexts.
  • I usually use brush and roller for residential work where the house is lived in but can also offer various kinds of spray painting where this is called for. Large staircases with detailed spindles are a great example of where spraying can save a lot of time while markedly improving finish.

Exterior woodwork painting

  • Fascias, soffits, gables, dormer and bay windows.
  • Windows
  • I have ladders and lightweight aluminium towers. More significant scaffold and cherry pickers can be arranged.
  • Usually i use either Weathershield Exterior Gloss System or Jotun Demidekk Ultimate, Which i use will depend upon the finish you want and the existing coating. I only use the best paint as whenever you get a painter and decorator most of the bill is labour so no point at all skimping on materials.
  • Usually where the existing coating is sound, i use this as the base after through washing and sanding. When necessary however, i can easily remove old oil based coatings with my long wave infra red heat stripper, water based coatings can generally be removed rapidly by heavy abrasion.
