🏡 BO’NESS | HALL & STAIRCASE TRANSFORMATION 🎨

Another transformation for one of our existing customers! 👌🏼

We were asked to give this hall and staircase a much-needed refresh. The customer had already stripped the majority of the wallpaper themselves, so myself and Rab stepped in to finish the preparation and bring the whole space back to life.

🛠️ THE WORK CARRIED OUT:

▪️ Stripped the remaining wallpaper.
▪️ Fully power sanded the walls.
▪️ Filled and skimmed surfaces to achieve a smooth finish.
▪️ Applied a coat of glue size solution in preparation for decorating.
▪️ Applied two coats of Dulux Ultra Matt White to the ceilings.
▪️ Applied three coats of Johnstone’s Aqua Satin to the woodwork.
▪️ Installed Superfresco paste-the-wall wallpaper to complete the look.

🏆 THE RESULT?

A completely transformed hall and staircase, with fresh white ceilings, beautifully finished woodwork and wallpaper bringing the whole space together.

We always take pride in getting the preparation right, and we have to admit, we love a bit of wallpapering on a project! 😍

🏡 EDINBURGH | MARCHMONT – GEORGIAN FLAT REFRESH 🎨

✨ BRINGING A LITTLE FRESHNESS BACK TO A PIECE OF EDINBURGH’S HISTORY!

This beautiful Georgian flat was in good condition overall, but like many older properties, it had developed hairline cracks throughout that needed some attention.

Scott took the lead on this project, putting the time and effort into getting the preparation right and bringing the property back to life.

🛠️ PREPARATION IS EVERYTHING!

Rather than simply painting over the problems, we made sure the cracks were properly addressed before any finishing coats were applied.

▪️ All hairline cracks were opened up.
▪️ Fibre tape was applied where required.
▪️ Cracks were filled and skimmed over three applications to achieve a smooth finish.
▪️ Walls and ceilings were power sanded to create a sound, even surface.
▪️ Finished with two coats of Dulux Ultra Matt and Johnstone’s Covaplus, colour-matched to the existing shades.

🏆 THE RESULT?

A beautifully refreshed flat that looks as fresh as a new property, while retaining the character of a building that’s over 100 years old!

We love projects like this. Whether it’s a traditional Georgian property full of character or a modern new-build home, the right preparation, products and techniques can make all the difference.

🏡 EDINBURGH | DRUMBRAE – EXTERIOR TRANSFORMATION 🎨

🔥 OVER 20 YEARS WITHOUT A FRESH COAT OF PAINT… WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

This project was completed back in June, where we gave this property in Drumbrae a much-needed exterior refresh.

After more than 20 years without being painted, the customer wanted to bring the property back to life while ensuring it was properly protected against the Scottish weather for years to come.

🛠️ THE WORK CARRIED OUT:

▪️ Repainted all exterior masonry.
▪️ Fully masked off windows and doors to protect surrounding surfaces.
▪️ Used heavy-duty tarpaulins for ground protection to keep the surrounding area as clean as possible.
▪️ Applied two coats of Dulux Weathershield White Masonry Paint.
▪️ Prepared the rainwater goods, including the downpipes, before applying Armstead Grey Undercoat.
▪️ Finished the rainwater goods with Hammerite Black Gloss for a sharp, contrasting finish.

Preparation and protection are a huge part of any exterior project, especially when working on a property of this size. We take pride in protecting our customers’ homes while delivering a finish that makes a real difference.

The result? A property that looks a million dollars! 🤩👌🏼

📸 The first three photos show the progress, with the remaining photos showcasing the finished result.

🏡 EDINBURGH | MARCHMONT – MASTER BEDROOM & SECOND BEDROOM TRANSFORMATION 🎨

There’s no better compliment than an existing customer coming back to us! 👌🏼

After moving into their new property, one of our long-term customers got in touch to see if we could give their master bedroom and smaller bedroom a fresh new look.

The property was already in good condition, but both rooms needed a thorough sand and preparation throughout to ensure we achieved the quality finish we pride ourselves on.

🎨 PRODUCTS USED:
▪️ Ceilings: Dulux Ultra Matt White
▪️ Walls: Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt, using Farrow & Ball colour matches
▪️ Woodwork: Johnstone’s Aqua Satin

Scott took the lead on this project, carrying out the work and leaving our long-standing customers delighted with the finished result.

A huge thank you to our customers for continuing to trust us with their homes. Your repeat business means a lot to us!

🏡 EDINBURGH | EXTERIOR DECORATING ☀️

A look back at this beautiful Edinburgh property we worked on back in July!

The sash and case windows were beginning to deteriorate and needed some much-needed repair work and preparation before receiving a full exterior redecoration.

As with any exterior project, preparation is key to achieving a quality, long-lasting finish. 👌🏼

🛠️ OUR PROCESS:
▪️ Fully sanded all sash and case windows.
▪️ Applied one coat of Dulux Weathershield Primer.
▪️ Carried out repairs using Toupret Wood Filler and caulk where required.
▪️ Sanded and thoroughly cleaned all surfaces.
▪️ Applied one coat of Dulux Weathershield White Undercoat.
▪️ Finished with one coat of Dulux Weathershield White Gloss.

The result? Beautifully refreshed windows with a crisp, clean finish, helping protect this property against the Scottish weather for years to come! 🎨

☀️ This project was completed in July, on what was probably one of the hottest days of the year!

📅 EXTERIOR BOOKINGS FOR 2027 ARE NOW OPEN!
