I recently managed to fit in this feature wall just in time for Christmas.

The wallpaper is from B&Q the ‘Home’ range. It went up well and just shows how one days work can transform a room.

Sorry for the radio silence - it’s been a busy few months.
I’ve recently undertaken a complete property refurbishment in Chelmsford City centre following a water leak from the neighbour above, which caused extensive damage to the main bedroom, en-suite and hallway.
The property owner and myself were very pleased with the outcome.

This project was recently completed for a new customer in Chelmsford. It comprised of a number of corridors and stairwells at a private school.

Due to the type of environment we used Dulux Diamond Eggshell for all the walls and Dulux oil based satinwood for all the metal and woodwork. Using these types of paints, will give better wear in high traffic areas.

Unfortunately this new customer had recently had a water leak in their kitchen. The leak has now been fixed by a plumber. We then came in and placed some batons across the hole and reinstated the original plasterboard. The joints were then taped, filled and rubbed down, ready for the emulsion.

I managed to squeeze in this large render for a regular customer amongst the recent bad weather.

Firstly like any outside painting, the render must be washed down. Followed by protection to all the windows and outside lights etc. Minor filling where needed using Toupret Exterior Filler, then applied two coats of Sandtex Country Stone to all render and two coats of Sandtex black to the plinth. Finally a fresh coat of black paint to the front door to finish it off.

I recently hung another nice striking feature wallpaper. This time from Farrow & Ball ‘Enigma’. This particular paper requires pasting with ready mixed paste. Firstly making good to plaster with minor filling, followed by sizing the walls in preparation for hanging the paper. Both the customer and I were really pleased with the results.

Media walls are very popular at the moment.
This one was freshly plastered. So minor preparation was required and then a mist coat in white to all plaster. Followed by two coats of Valspar ‘Silken Stocking’ and with two coats of Dulux Trade white emulsion in the shelving alcoves and lastly two coats of white Dulux Trade satinwood to new skirting board. With one satisfied customer.
