🏡 MOUNT FOLLY FARM – EXTERIOR REPAINT COMPLETE! 🎨✨
What a project this has been! From the initial preparation and repairing tired, failing surfaces to bringing the exterior back to life with a fresh, professional finish.
This video takes you through the journey from start to finish, showing some of the work, preparation and attention to detail that goes into achieving a quality exterior finish that looks great and is built to last. 👌
🔨 THE PREPARATION – THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
As with any exterior decorating project, the key to a lasting finish is getting the preparation right.
The property had areas of failing paintwork that needed attention before any new coatings could be applied. We started by thoroughly assessing the surfaces, removing loose and failed paint, raking out cracks and addressing areas that required repair.
We also tackled the affected masonry, sills and mouldings, ensuring the loose material was removed and the surfaces were properly prepared for the next stages.
Once the preparation was complete, the appropriate stabilising treatment was applied where required, helping to prepare the surfaces for the repair work and subsequent coatings.
🛠️ REPAIRS & RESTORATION
With the groundwork complete, we moved on to repairing the damaged areas using Toupret Fill & Flex and suitable masonry repair materials, carefully working through the defects to restore the surfaces and create a sound foundation for the new paintwork.
It's easy to focus on the final colour, but the real difference comes from the work you don't always notice once the job is finished. Taking the time to prepare and repair properly is what helps deliver a clean, consistent and professional result.
🎨 THE FINISHING TOUCHES
With the repairs completed and the surfaces ready, it was time to bring everything together with the exterior repaint.
Working methodically around the property, we refreshed the masonry, sills and detailed areas, transforming the tired exterior into a much cleaner, brighter and more uniform finish.
And with the weather being so kind to us throughout the project, we were treated to some absolutely incredible views while working at Mount Folly Farm! 🌊☀️ It's certainly not every day you get an outlook like that while you're on the job!
🤝 A BIG THANK YOU TO THE TEAM
No project of this scale comes together without good people behind it, and I want to give a massive thank you to two local businesses who played a valued role in making this project run smoothly.
🧼 Lee Pink Clean – A big thank you to Lee for getting the property cleaned and ready ahead of the decorating works. Having the right preparation and cleaning carried out beforehand made a real difference in getting the project underway properly. It's always great working alongside reliable local trades who take pride in what they do.
🏗️ Plym scaffolding solutions – A huge thank you to Karl & his team for providing the scaffolding and safe access needed to carry out the exterior works efficiently. Access is essential on a project like this, and having the right setup in place makes a massive difference when working at height and tackling all those awkward areas.
It's always appreciated when you can work alongside other professionals who do their part to help a project come together. Supporting and working with good local businesses is something I value enormously.
