Painter and decorator in Heswall.

Decorating in Heswall

Heswall's larger hillside houses tend to have generous rooms, substantial joinery and long window runs looking out over the Dee towards North Wales. That scale means a repaint has nowhere to hide, so preparation is thorough: filling, caulking, sanding, spot priming and stain blocking before a topcoat goes anywhere near the wall.

Kitchens are a big part of the local work. A well-made kitchen with dated doors can be hand painted or sprayed on site in the colour you want for a fraction of the cost of replacement, and finished in a paint system that copes with heat, steam and daily wiping.

There is also demand here for the decorative side of the business, hand painted murals, feature panels and specialist finishes. Adam trained in art before joining the trade in 1987, and that work is painted by hand rather than printed.
