Final coat photos and a written guarantee in your inbox before we hand back keys. Typical kit on a Chipping Norton job: Mirka Deros sander with HEPA extraction, Festool dust track, Wagner sprayer for cabinets, brush-and-roller finish for walls.

Recurring themes here include Cotswold stone barn conversion exposed beam staining and the careful prep needed before any topcoat goes near traditional UK construction methods typical of Chipping Norton.
