Thick pile roller covered in white paint held against freshly coated pebbledash — Rolling paint into pebbledash, Orpington

Hallways, stairs and landingsHalls, stairs and landings in period and family homes, from the front door right up to the attic stairs.Look at the three-storey Victorian stairwell in Beckenham, lined, then colour-washed in Coat Reverie.
Interior and whole-house decoratingLounges, bedrooms, bathrooms, lofts and extensions, with built-ins and radiators matched to the walls.One whole two-bedroom house in Chislehurst was finished before its new owners moved in.
Period propertiesVictorian and Edwardian houses, where the repairs under the paint matter as much as the colour.Including the fretwork balusters of a 1905 Bickley hall, brushed by hand.
Exterior painting and timber repairsMasonry, render, fascias and front doors repaired and repainted, with uPVC cleaned while we're up there.A tall pebbledash house on a hill in Orpington needed scaffold down the sides and across the back.
Wallpaper hanging and muralsDesigner papers, feature walls and bespoke murals, measured so the pattern lines up and little is wasted.Five rolls of Thibaut Noam bought, three and a half used, thanks to the setting out.
Garden rooms, cabins and timber buildingsCabins, garden offices, gazebos, pergolas and decks, sanded back and protected from the weather.Shown in full: a Breeze House gazebo in Kelsey Park, sanded and given two coats of Sadolin Extra.
Kitchen, cupboard and furniture paintingKitchen cupboards, fitted wardrobes and built-ins repainted rather than replaced, foil-wrapped doors included.A Chislehurst family's cream cupboards went Farrow & Ball grey while they were on holiday.
