The part of a paint job you never see

A paint job is usually judged on the last coat, which is the easy part to photograph. The frames in between are the ones worth looking at: old paint taken off back to bare timber, boards made good, plaster filled and sanded, undercoat on long before any colour goes near a wall. That work is what decides how the finish looks in five years, and it is why each set below runs from before, through the middle of it, to the day we packed up.

Choose any photograph to see it larger, with the rest of that job beside it.

Every picture on this page is our own work on a real house, and the “before” frames are what we found on the first morning.

There is no stock photography here and none will be added. Where a job has not been photographed yet, the page for it says so rather than borrowing a picture of somebody else’s.

Thinking about your own place?

All three of these were house painting jobs, inside, outside or both. If yours sounds similar, the service pages set out how we go about it — what gets repaired first, how the surfaces are prepared and what happens to your furniture while we are there.
