Which options suit homes in Water Orton?

Exterior woodwork and metal

Fascias, bargeboards, timber windows, doors, gates and railings are scraped, sanded, repaired where needed, primed and painted. Rotten sections are cut out and spliced or filled before painting. Metal is wire-brushed and treated for rust. This work makes timber and metalwork last much longer.

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.

What guarantee comes with decorating?

Paints carry their manufacturers' terms, which are set out in your quote. How long a finish lasts depends on the surface, the room's use and, outside, the exposure to weather. If anything isn't right at the final walk-round, we put it right before we finish.
