Our recent exterior painting and decorating project.

What we did

As part of a recent project in Grantham, we were asked to breathe new life into a beautiful summer house that had weathered years of exposure to the elements. The goal was to restore its appearance while protecting the timber exterior for the long term.

When we arrived, the structure showed clear signs of wear: peeling paint, faded colour, and areas where water damage had started to take hold. Before applying a single coat of paint, we carried out a full inspection and thorough preparation. This included sanding back the old layers, filling gaps, treating any exposed wood, and ensuring all surfaces were perfectly smooth and ready for painting.

For this project, we selected Tikkurila Ultra Matt, a high-performance exterior paint known for its durability and premium finish. The client opted for a soft, timeless green that not only complements the garden but elevates the space into a true retreat. The result is a crisp, smooth exterior that stands up beautifully to the weather and looks stunning all year round.

A professional service throughout

Throughout the job, we ensured the client’s garden space remained clean and usable. From setup to clean-up, we kept disruption to a minimum – something our clients always appreciate.

This project reflects what we do best: combining expert preparation, high-quality materials, and decades of experience to deliver results that last. Whether it’s a summer house, garden building, or full exterior repaint, our team brings the same attention to detail and pride in our work every time.

Our exterior painting services include:

Summer houses and garden rooms
Farmhouses and barn conversions
Garages and outbuildings
Heritage buildings & cottages

No matter the building, we tailor our approach with full preparation, professional-grade materials, and precise application techniques.

What our customers say

“Steve was exceptionally professional. I chose some very expensive wallpaper which needed someone with great precision and expertise. I was so thrilled with the results and friends and family couldn’t believe that it was wallpaper as there was not a seam in sight!”
