Painter and decorator in Deganwy.

Decorating in Deganwy

Deganwy is a mix of older stone and rendered properties climbing the hill behind the village and newer estuary-side apartments and townhouses. The two need very different treatment. Older houses often want careful filling, caulking and stain blocking before a single topcoat goes on, while newer plaster wants a properly diluted mist coat so the paint bonds instead of peeling away with the masking tape.

Salt air is the other local factor. Anything facing the estuary or the Conwy Sands takes a battering from wind-driven damp, so exterior woodwork and rendered elevations are prepared and coated with systems chosen to cope with a coastal exposure rather than whatever is cheapest on the shelf.

Because Adam lives in the village, Deganwy work is easy to schedule and easy to revisit. Small jobs that other decorators will not travel for, a hallway, a repainted front door, a single feature wall in a bedroom, are perfectly welcome here.
