Fresh Start Decorators offer a service to paint all types of exterior wall surfaces such as roughcast, render and brick. Knowing how to prevent paint peeling, taking care of chalking, allowing surfaces to breathe are basics of understanding what is required before applying exterior paints. There are many times we have been to properties, and seen common mistakes, such as; painting over algae which causes paint failure and lower black brickwork looking terrible with peeling paint. Have a professional finish and call Fresh Start Decorators and arrange a meeting.

We provide finishes to new installations or repaints, stains and varnishes to previous finished surfaces. Prior to any application we evaluate any preparation that maybe required. We mainly come across situations where wet rot and dry rot has taken affect. Some of the preparation we use helps to preserve timber, stop knots bleeding through top coats and seal unsightly gaps. Understanding the correct grades of sandpapers, products, consistency and coverage is key to providing a professional finish. Whether water or solvent based, Fresh Start Decorators are here to help. With exterior timber there can be movement during weather change, there are paints on the market that account for this, and provide better overall protection. Fresh Start Decorators can advise on what these products are, and why they are the best suited for the job.

We can provide finishes to metals such as iron and steel; plastics, Upvc and fiberglass using the correct systems to prevent paint failure. Like with all substrates, the preparation and correct primer is key to a long lasting professional paint finish; but with certain substrates like those mentioned, it is even more imperative. If you are having issues with certain areas outside your property; and are unsure how best to resolve them; give Fresh Start Decorators a call to arrange an inspection.

Using one of the safest methods of paint stripping products available, Fresh Start Decorators are able to remove up to 32 coats in one application (depending on the previous product used). Fresh start Decorators do not use burning off methods for stripping, this is due to the dangers involved. Initially a testing will be carried out to confirm the type of paint and which product will be best suited to handle the project. Once this is confirmed the next stage of the project will continue as will be explained on the project assessment.

Gutters cleaned out, facia, soffits and windows cleaned down; or exterior masonry washed. Fresh Start Decorators offer a complete exterior cleaning service. Many people fail to realise how important it is to keep gutters and drains cleaned. It can prevent damage to external render, joints and bricks. Even washing painted exterior surfaces down using a neutral cleaner can preserve the finishes; and make the paint look as fresh as the day it was applied. We have various cleaning and access equipment such as professional trade pressure washers, towers and window vacs.

Fresh Start Decorators can apply timber treatment and finishes to reduce and/or delay the chances of mould, algae, fungi, dry and wet rot. Water and sunlight can become the worse enemy of timber, especially when the substrates have not had the correct protection applied. Remember that taking care of these issues earlier, can prevent more expensive problems occurring further along. If you have any queries please contact Fresh Start Decorators.
