We do not do internal domestic wall decorating! sorry!

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Enquirer Message: Would like a quote for the front exterior of a victorian terrace house including internal hallway and living room walls only. Also, window ledges at the back of the house will also require paint.

(Eds note, we replied, pointing out that we don’t do domestic internal decoration)

Chap wants his house re-rendered

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Enquirer Message: I have a two bedroom corner house that i am looking to have re-rendered/dashed. Lower half of the house is brick and would remain brick. Upper half is a textured render finish but the top textured layer is coming away from the base render. The beads around the windows have blown and need to be replaced. The upper half also encompasses the gable end which is of a steep pitch. The upper half of the house has 3 Rectangular windows and one round window high on the gable end. Only one other wall is required to be treated. I would be interested to know in the first instance a ball park price for repair of the existing render/window beads and application of your product. This can be a very broad range since at this stage we wish to consider viability of completing this project before taking your time for a survey and formal quotation. Many Thanks

Thank you for your question……………… We cannot and do not give a price without seeing the property! I appreciate that you don’t want to “waste our time” (!) and your not wasting it, not at all, this is what we are here fore, to help you. I am happy to give a price but I HAVE to see the house first.

House rear with rendering and render repairs in progress

Canal side cottage needs repainting

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Enquirer Message: We live in an old rendered cottage. The cottage is situated at the side of a canal. As a result of this there is a small amount of movement that causes the rendering to develop hairline cracks. Because of this we find ourselves repairing these cracks each year. The house now looks a little untidy. We are now researching other ways in which we can deal with this before we consider a full re-render.

HI, well thats a difficult question, our coatings are flexible but no exterior coating product currently on the market will stop movement or subsidence. I would suggest that you call in a chartered surveyor to suggest what to do before we could do anything for you. Good luck anyway.

Questions about textured paint for walls of house

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Enquirer Message: I would like my external walls painted and an external garden wall painted. I am looking for a free no obligation quote in order that I can compare prices. The garden wall is red brick but all this white stuff keeps appearing even after we have tried to treat it. It looks unsightly and I hope that by using your paint it will get rid of this problem once and for all. Do you use textured paint where you can get a pebbly effect or is it simple straightforward paint in different colours ?

We do “bespoke” exterior finishes, so we can custom make any exterior wall finish to your requirements. We offer various colors and textures, your local agent will run through all the ones that we do. Thanks for your enquiry, we’ll be in contact shortly.

Pooling their resources……………

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Enquirer Message: I have a pool area which is painted similar in colour to your Saturn Pink, but the surface when wet is very slippery as the paint is just smooth, I would like to know if your paint could be used to cover the existing surface and as it is textured would it be non slip afterwards. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi, thanks for the question. Im sorry we dont do floor paint and cant help on this occasion but good luck anyway.
