Stone, render, timber and metal, in a climate that tests all four. Free site visit and quote, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship.
Exterior work is decided long before the first coat: by what is underneath, and by choosing the right week to do it in.
Loose and failed coatings taken back, the surface made sound, then coated in a system suited to the substrate rather than whatever was on the shelf.
Sash and case windows, front doors, fascias and soffits. Timber outside an Edinburgh window fails at the joints and the sills first, so that is where the preparation goes.
Railings, gates, downpipes and rainwater goods, prepared and coated for a wet climate.
Shopfronts, frontages and commercial premises, worked around opening hours where that is what the job needs.
A coating fails from underneath. Flaking paint, blown render, open joints and rotten sills all have to be dealt with first, and none of it shows in the finished photograph. It is the part that decides whether the job still looks right in five winters.
We will tell you at the quote stage what needs taking back and what can be over-coated, rather than pricing on the assumption that everything is sound.
Water-based exterior coatings need a temperature and a drying window, and Edinburgh is not generous with either. We plan exterior work around the forecast and would rather move a week than put a coat on that will not cure.
If your job is weather-dependent we will say so, and we will tell you honestly what our availability looks like.
We take on commercial as well as residential work: exteriors, shopfronts, interiors and fit-outs, worked around opening hours where that is what the job needs.
That includes fire protection coating applied to the film thickness your certification requires, working with you and your certifier to get there, and AMES taping of plasterboard seams on a new fit-out.
Tell us the property and roughly when you want it done, and we will come and look. The visit and the written quote are free.
