Hallway and landing redecoration in Blackburn 1980s estate house. Skirting and architrave glossed in oil-based for proper durability. Came in at ยฃ5650 across a working week. Used Farrow & Ball trade-rated for the matt walls - looks superb.

Six months on, the kitchen feature wall is still the room's standout. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Blackburn persuaded us into a slightly warmer white than we originally chose - room is much more inviting. Total ยฃ2300. Genuinely no part of it I would change.
