External masonry paint job on our Kelso Edwardian end-terrace. Soffits and bargeboards prepared and finished with proper exterior trim paint. Came in ยฃ570 under quote thanks to less prep than expected. Old paint disposed of properly via WEEE-compliant routes.

Compared two PDA painters in Kelso through BestBuilders. Picked the team with the longest workmanship guarantee in writing. Old artex ceiling sealed with stabilising primer before two-coat top finish. Final invoice ยฃ4195. Brush-and-roller marks invisible - properly skimmed finish before painting.

Eighteen months in, no chips, no flaking, no marks anywhere. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Kelso pointed out that the original ceiling was textured and recommended skim-then-paint. Total ยฃ4748. Looks better than when the property was first viewed.
