For wooden floor sanding & sealing around Banbury, we treat travel as part of the spec: M40 J11 is on the town's edge, and our diary already covers nearby work. We regularly travel to Daventry (16 mi NE) and Bicester (14 mi S) for similar jobs. One trusted lead decorator on site each day — no rotating cast of subbies. Final coat photos and a written guarantee in your inbox before we hand back keys. Lighting test boards go up before final colour signoff — north-facing rooms need a different undertone to south-facing ones, and we'll prove it on the wall. Heritage colour palettes (Edwardian neutrals, Georgian off-whites, mid-century jewel tones) get matched in trade tin where the client wants them.
