Customer had redecorated the ceilings himself and asked me to sort the walls & woodwork... Walls were straight forward but going from varnished woodwork to white is not a 5 minute job.. especially getting it to this standard. Lots of taping, priming, filling & sanding was required before I could even think about applying the 3 top coats of water based satin finish. What a difference it’s made!! Doors are being replaced with oak for that final touch.

Stunning, custom, 1 off window frames which were installed.. and then every single one leaked!! Took around 8 months to get the problem rectified before I could do my bit. Frames were fully prepped and water stains sanded out as much as possible. Any remaining stains were then washed out. All finished off with 3 full coats of clear satin varnish. There was 16 frames in total. ... Stunning feature to this amazing property!

I’ve been working on and off at this property in Walberswick for close to 2 years now.. It’s absolutely stunning and full of original features. It’s being completely restored as it was pretty much a bare shell and in a shocking state when purchased. The customers fanatical attention to detail is unreal.. and that’s what he expects from me. I’ve been decorating from top to bottom, inside & out and it’s due to be finished later this year. ... I decorated this stage area, which is at the end of their sitting room, over a year ago. After returning today to do some more work, it looks as fresh as the day I finished it. Loads more pictures to follow of this stunning property which I’ve now put well over 1,000 + hours into!!

From walking in the door to leaving, 3 hours later the feature wall is finished and has totally transformed this dining room! Will look lovely when fully dry.

Chimney breast was removed by local builders and plastered over. The Kitchen was then installed by Steve Whybrow Kitchens to his usual very high standards! I really like this kitchen and it’s now the second time I’ve decorated it. Lovely!

Some left over tiles have finished this lovely utility room off a treat! Have to say I enjoyed doing something different for a change 😊

Massive thank you to all my customers old & new, and an even bigger thank you to all my long standing regular customers, who certainly keep me busy!! Hope you all have a great new year! Thanks Ben

Factory finished, powder coated, double roller garage door & wooden side gate and frame. All finished in Zinseer Allcoat Satin finish (Solvent based) Anthracite Grey.

I had previously done a small amount of work for Aleks Jewellers several years ago. I received a call a few months back from Adrian who said they were having a refurb done at their shop and said he would like me on board.
When I went to have a look I was shocked at just how much they had actually done!
... All building works had been completed and their design team had chosen wall coverings and paint colours to give it a totally modern and classy look.
So it was in my hands to bring their virtual video to life....
This has been a massive undertaking to complete this single handedly and mostly out of hours, after full days of work on other local previously booked in jobs.
I’m proud of all my work but this is without doubt the job of the year for me.
Everything went like clockwork and I finished tonight, on schedule ready for the reopening tomorrow.
I wish Adrian, Sally and their friendly team, continued success with their amazing, redesigned premises.

Spent the morning with Arlo & Spot 🤗

Osborne & Little Komodo Dragon wallpaper.. expensive stuff at just over £100.00 a roll but 2 rolls have really finished this modern toilet off a treat. Was good quality paper and the end result speaks for itself.

A ceiling... In a living room... In one of the most unique places I’ve had the pleasure of working in. Complete ceiling re-decoration and beam cleaning consumed over 45 hours of labour to complete! It was a mess but now looks absolutely stunning!!

A lot of prep work, Labour and over 120Litres of white emulsion transformed this commercial unit in Gt Yarmouth... which is now Brewers. Very satisfying seeing the end result!

Just to let everyone know I’ve had some people phone the landline number that was on my old business cards, my profile picture on here and printed on my van. This number is no longer available and if you’ve called it and not had a very pleasant response, I apologise (not everyone is as cheerful as me 😊) My mobile number is still the same as it’s always been and if you can’t get hold of me straight away, please leave me a voicemail with your name & number and I will call you back as soon as I can. Thanks Ben

Stripping back over 80 years of varnish to uncover a truly stunning solid oak door!!
