We can’t recommend Adrian highly enough. We were working to a tight deadline and added quite a few bits and pieces to the original job as we went along. Adrian accommodated all of our requests and finished the job earlier than expected. We are very happy with the end result, our house looks lovely!

Adrian has done several jobs for us in recent years both inside and outside the house. He is reliable, hard working and always leaves things clean and tidy. We have been very pleased with everything that he has done for us and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. Just keep him well supplied with cups of tea!

Have used Adrian's services since 2017. He has just finished repainting the inside of my house. Adrian is an excellent painter, up to my standards, always on time, leaves the room clean and tidy at end of the day. Just keep him in copious amounts of tea, and he is happy. His work is wonderful

Stepping back in time

Stepping back in time, kind of. I revisited this 17th century property again recently to paint the exterior again, which I did back in 2014. Both the woodwork and the masonry had weathered well considering the property is exposed on all sides
Some filling was needed to repair some minor rot on a couple of windows, the masonry has lasted well, but as it is so exposed to the elements it had faded, and there was some mould and lichen growth.
This was treated and removed before apply two coats of masonry paint. The windows were then painted, pipework and plinth. Once completed it bought the property back up to scratch and to its former glory and now almost glows when the sun is on it that can be seen as you drive along neighbouring roads.
So now this property will look good, and be protected from the elements for at least eight more years.

Definitely not a grey day

Thankfully the British summer was on my side for a few days allowing me to paint this exterior. It definitely needed a bit of TLC as the external of this property hadn’t been painted for some years. And as such had deteriorated to the point that certain areas of the woodwork had sucome to rot.

The property needed scaffolding on the front and part of the side elevation’s due to the limited access for a ladder and for the height of the apex section on the front elevation. This was sourced by the client and erected before work began.

Repairs

After some repairs were carried out to the masonry and woodwork, a fair amount of wood filler was used, the woodwork, masonry and carport were all painted to the clients specification and colour choices.
I always work closely with the clients and advising them on such things as if scaffolding is required and where, and also the colour choices and the best types of paints to use, this is the best way to have a good client relationship and at the end of the day everyone is happy and knows what to expect by the end of each day, and the completion of the job.

The results

Once the work was all complete, the client was very happy with the results, saying, “I am delighted with the work you have done”. You can see the before, during and after in the pictures below.
