Preparation is key

Exterior preparation explained
/Here we do a quick walk around of an exterior job and chat about how we do our preparation and the tools we use.
Decking time
/If you decking isn’t looking like the images below when it has water on it, then it most probably need some lovin with another couple of coats. Get onto it people before it’s to late. Replacing decking timbers is expensive but a few hours labor over a weekend and some product is a much cheaper option. Give us a call for some free advice around how to go about.
