Bubbles in your house paint?
If you've got bubbles in your house paint, they're an easy fix if we get onto it as soon as they appear.
If you wait till the bubble cracks, inviting moisture into the wood behind the paint you'll soon start growing mold, your timber will start rotting and it's gonna cost ya!
I'm in the middle of a painting job now where the resin is seeping out of the timber knots in the hot weather which has caused this exact problem.
If you book in before Autumn sets in, we can get your painting job sorted before the weather starts getting sour.
Take care of your health, take care of your home.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
