The exterior of this lovely old property close to the centre of Brixham had not been painted for probably 20 years. The rear of the property had been rendered at least 10 years ago but had never been painted. The four sash windows at the front of the property were also in need of desperate attention.
First we stripped down the sash windows, sanded and primed the sashes and frames and repaired loose putty etc. A couple of the sills had large areas of rot so the rotten wood had to be cut out and replaced with new wood.
Finally, the frames and sashes were primed and undercoated before being refitted. New brush pile staff and parting beads were fitted to cut down on draughts and rattles.
Once the windows were complete the masonry was washed down with a fungicidal wash and stabilised. The front and side of the property was painted Sky Blue and the rear Cornish Cream.
