1. Cavells, Mill Street, Oakham, Rutland.

The Brief: Our three year relationship with Cavells continues and we are now undertaking the Painting & Decorating contract for the development of their Menswear arm of the business - we have recently completed the Womenswear premises.

Top Spec wallpapers and furnishings are being used, with a variety of Dulux Paint finishes.

We are using specialised handprinted wallpapers for the changing rooms. They are being hung by our on-site specialist Trevor Pullen.

We are also fitting 12" plaster Corniche around all four ceilings.

2. Waltham Village Hall

The Brief: Waltham's large Village Hall had received Lottery Funding to completely redecorate the entire internal area of the building, comprising the large main hall, kitchen, bar area, entrance lobby, storage rooms and three toilets. C.F. Painting Decorating were chosen, based on their reputation for reliability and quality.

The Job: The biggest challenge was the strict deadline for the opening night. It was absolutely crucial to ensure that all work was completed on time - whilst maintaining our strict quality standards.

A variety of techniques were employed during the redecoration. All smaller rooms were painted by way of a roller, whereas the Main Hall was sprayed. All wooden surfaces had three coats of paint applied.

The paints used were Dulux Trade Diamond Matt Emulsion and Cuprinol Woodstain.

The Result: The entire project was completed in good time. We achieved our goal by employing a large team of skilled tradesmen and being very organised at all levels of the job.

Customer comments: "Great organisation and attention to detail ensured this job was completed on time!"

3. Mrs Edwards (Home redecoration)

The Brief: We were asked to redecorate the living room of Mrs Edward's home. This included fitting a 6" Ornate Coving, preparing the ceiling and painting all walls with Dulux Trade Emulsion. All woodwork was to receive 2 coats of White Eggshell.

The Job: On day one the Coving was fitted and all of the preparation was taken care of. During the the following days, the ceiling and all of the walls were painted.
The woodwork was completed over the last day, ensuring there was enough time for the paint to dry between coats.

The Result: The fitting of Ornate Coving can be a challenge - especially if the walls and ceiling are a little out of line as they were in this case. Luckily, we have some extremely skilled people in this field who had no problem ensuring the coving was perfectly installed. The room was redecorated and ready within 4 days.

Customer comments: " I am really pleased with work carried out - it looks excellent. We have already booked a further date for more work to take place."

4. Chapelmount, Dumfries

The Brief: This was a challenging project due to the location, the Scottish weather, and the sheer size of the building. Dulux Weathershield Masonry paint and Dulux Weathershield Undercoats and Gloss were used.

The Result: In order to reach the chimneys specialist lifting equipment was sourced from Carlisle with an upward reach of 75 metres, and outward reach of 35 metres. The majority of the masonry surfaces were sprayed, the rest was painted by hand.

Customer comments: "We have again worked with Chris and his team due to their understanding of our need for a professional service, and their ability to deliver! "
