What Barnstaple Homeowners Say About Our Painting & Decorating Specialists
Hallway and landing redecoration in Barnstaple 1930s semi. Soffits and bargeboards prepared and finished with proper exterior trim paint. Came in at £4150 across a working week. Old paint disposed of properly via WEEE-compliant routes.
Compared four painters in Barnstaple through BestBuilders. Highest priced - and worth it for the proper sashing-in around the cornice. Walls properly mist-coated before any topcoats - finish is dead even. Final invoice £2125. Brush-and-roller marks invisible - properly skimmed finish before painting.
Six months on, the kitchen feature wall is still the room's standout. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Barnstaple recommended Linseed-oil paint over modern alkyd for the sash windows - hard-wearing and breathable. Total £2540. Looks better than when the property was first viewed.
