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.

Loft conversion project
I am currently working on a loft conversion project, I have completed a bathroom, and a bedroom. Below are pictures and a video of the completed bedroom. The walls are painted in a Farrow and Ball colour but colour matched in Dulux Diamond Hard matt emulsion. The ceiling and dwarf wall are painted in Dulux Pure Brilliant White matt emulsion, with the woodwork finished in Dulux Pure Brilliant White Satinwood.
