Exterior Decoration

In order to get this property looking good, there was a lot of prep to be done

* Remove most of the exisiting paint work because it was not adhered to the render for the main part. It would only cause the new coat of paint to fail otherwise.
* Fill gaps and cracks, removing any loose render and replace it.
* Apply a stabalisng coat to the walls before painting.

* Painting
We used textured paint to help hide the differences in renders and varying finishes and smaller cracks,
Although the paint wasn't anywhere textured enough, so we added a significant amount of grit to the paint to help blend the wall into good looking finish.
The only issue with this meant a dramatiacally increased amount of paint needed to cover the walls due to the 3D finish.

We use Johnstons's paint in general due to its better aplication and finish. The paint may cost significantly more; although compared to the labour cost it is not significant enough to worry, because you will get a longer lasting installation saving you money in the long run.

Have you sorted your hedge for winter?

We can cut any type of hedge back, just ask us for coats.

We quite often find a hedge needs reshaping where it hasn’t been done well for a few years.
It is totally up to you what you would like done, and fun understand why some people leave it.

Reshaping the hedge may leave it looking ugly for a time until grows back to how it should be.

Although if you’ve left your laylandii for too long, there’s not too much that can be done. If you take it back to the dead part inside, it will not grow back.

We can hand trim laurel and the like for those types of hedges as well.

A good read!

It's best to chop up and leave a thin layer of leaves in the grass. Rake excess amounts into a landscape bed or garden.

Replacing a 45 yr old fence.
Tho original fence was made with the posts fully in concrete, and was painted every 5yrs or so.
It proves to us that our method works, and we add the extra protection of treating the post with bitumen up to just above ground level.

It also proves I don’t want to go and take apart what we construct haha, as it was tough to remove the original posts. Although doing it properly means you’re not going to need to replace it in 10-15 years like most people need to. The post usually rots off at the ground level, while the majority of the fence still has life in it.

You get what you pay for at the end of the day.
We go the extra mile to add more protection against rot than anyone else we know,

* concrete to above ground level
* bitumen just above that
And for many

* We paint the whole fence from the off set to Increase life span as we build it to protect all areas.

Got a fence needing some work. Contact us and we can help you get the most out of your investment.

A simple bathroom refit…. If only.
The task was to replace the key bits of bathroom furniture and clad the walls.

As with some jobs, when you dig deeper, more is needed. Complete strip out, new ceiling, plaster all walls etc ended up being the journey.

Always plan in that there can be some costly unexpected problems arise, and you will need to be ready to cover that.
If you are already maxing out your budget, then maybe rethink the plan and how to do it.

Customer moved in with a problematic garden.
The were piles of soil, concrete and slabs everywhere, stumps and shrub roots, metal poles, and overgrown borders. We filled an 8yrd skip full to the brim when the garden was finally cleared.

After removing the waste materials, we rotavted and leveled the area before reseeding.
to encourage growth, we covered the garden in plastic sheeting to increase the temperature and humidity to boost the germination.

Now its a family garden that can be enjoyed with the children, without the worry of what may injur them.

Only thing with seeding is it takes quite a bit of effort to get a good thickness of grass without weeds establishing at th same time.
