Substantial strip down of softwood windows, doors and frames for this house in Oxendown, Meonstoke.  A full 6 days of prep, followed by 5 of painting and finishing.  Used Johnstones Stormshield primer undercoat and satin for a really good finish that should weather the storms (and sun) for several years to come.

Just completed new decking with pergola for clients in the centre of Meonstoke village. This was slightly unusual in that it is built over a septic tank which requires access for maintenance and emptying. In the centre of the deck there are three panels that lift out to provide access. Client opted here for hardwood which I think looks fabulous - and will retain its looks and integrity for many many years.

Small repair and repointing job here for several areas of brick steps at a farmhouse near Bishops Waltham in Hampshire. All done in a day.

4 new raised beds and retaining wallNew steps and border areaGated storage areaBefore! Had great weather for this landscaping project in Droxford, Hampshire, in April. Four new raised beds integrated into back retaining wall. Rebuilt adjoining steps and path border to match, and built new compost and storage area. 55 new UC-graded treated softwood sleepers in total!

Managed to complete a very tidy bedroom repaint in this lovely cottage just before lockdown v2. Slight blistering on walls – inevitable in a property like this, but now treated and should look good for another 10 years.

I was asked to paint this office area - which is currently used as a gym.  As it was an old building - and a slightly damp room - a fair bit of replastering was needed, and some damp-resistant coatings along one wall.  Whilst at it we decided a new floor was needed, which required taking up the old rolls of carpet, laying new 9mm hardwood ply to create a flat surface on the mix of boards and render, and finally laying a new commercial-grade carpet to match the adjoining areas. The pictures here sent to me by the client show the room all ready to go with exercise bike and water bottles at the ready!
