Which option fits your home?

Exterior masonry and render

Cleaning, treating algae, filling cracks and applying masonry paint to rendered or pebbledashed walls. A good masonry paint protects the wall and keeps its colour. Exterior work on two-storey houses may need ladders, towers or scaffolding, which we include in the quote so you're not surprised.

Woodwork and doors

Skirting boards, architraves, doors, banisters and window boards are sanded, filled, primed where bare and finished in gloss, satin or eggshell. Water-based finishes dry faster and yellow less than oil-based ones. Getting woodwork right takes time, especially on older homes with many layers of paint.
