What Bideford Homeowners Say About Our Painting & Decorating Specialists
Wallpapering and feature wall in our Bideford 1930s semi. Soffits and bargeboards prepared and finished with proper exterior trim paint. Came in at £4100 across a working week. Old paint disposed of properly via WEEE-compliant routes.
Compared three painters in Bideford 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 £2080. Brush-and-roller marks invisible - properly skimmed finish before painting.
A year post-completion, the original colour has not faded a shade. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Bideford recommended Linseed-oil paint over modern alkyd for the sash windows - hard-wearing and breathable. Total £2492. Looks better than when the property was first viewed.
