What we paint in Forest Hill.
If a brush, roller or spray gun can reach it, we finish it properly.
Woodwork and trim
Skirting, doors, frames, windowsills, stairs and banisters in satinwood or gloss.
Exterior surfaces
Render, masonry, cladding, fascias and front doors — weatherproofed properly.
Wallpaper
Hanging, pattern matching, stripping and lining — feature walls to whole houses.
