Gary and team (07572588222) recently completed a big job for us refurbishing/ decorating 16 external windows on a 5-storey victorian house converted into flats. The windows were in a pretty dreadful state and they were stripped right back to the wood, repaired, filled and then painted - they are completely transformed and look good as new now. It was a tricky job as it involved discussions with 3 flat owners and 13 tenants and access was only possible via the ground floor occupied flat. Extra jobs came up which weren't visible until the scaffold was up (eg cracked/ leaking downpipes causing damp), and the cost of the extras was made clear so we could decide what to do. It did take a longer than we hoped at 3 months but as Gary pointed out at the beginning it was more work than we realised, and with the extra jobs plus rain, snow, wind and Christmas there were a few challenges. Comms were good via WhatsApp including pics/ videos (sometimes too many messages but that is better than too few!). Expect to pay a deposit in advance and then staged payments, last payment only after all works completed and all scaffolding and materials cleared from site. I'd recommend Gary and have already asked him to quote for other things.
