Woodwork

Woodwork

Whatever condition (extremely poor condition may be more economical to replace - something I will advise on), it can be transformed to look like new again. Doors, frames, cupboards, dado rails, staircases, skirting boards & sills, can all be finished in any colour - gloss, satin, eggshell or even a flat finish can be achieved. Of course, a dark surface can become light or freshened up with stain, oil or varnish.

Dark wood to white - Zinsser B.I.N (2 x coats), Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus & top coat Dulux Trade Quick Dry Satinwood PBW
(these 4 x pictures are of bedroom and ensuite bathroom windows for existing client in High Street North, Stewkley)

Fireplace (brush finish)

For a durable superb finish, Zinsser B-I-N (2 x coats), Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 & Crown Trade Satinwood (oil) B0710M (2 x coats) in contrast with Mimosa walls.

Bookcase & Fireplace (Airless Spray finish)

Bookcase (above), sprayed in Farrow & Ball estate emulsion Cornforth White. Client opted for the less durable option as wanted to exactly match walls and wasn't happy to have an eggshell finish with a 20% sheen level. Bedec primer u/coat then F&B e/e 2 x coats (all sprayed).
Fireplace (left), sprayed in Bedec Aqua Advance Satin Pure Brilliant White - super smooth mantle and a fantastic finish.

Woodwork finished in Bedec Aqua Advance Satin. A durable, quick drying, odour free and flexible finish that stays white.

Doors, windows and sills were dark wood before, click above picture to view.

Before During After

Kitchen worktop was sanded, treated with 2 x coats of Zinsser SealCoat, then varnished with 2 x coats of Blackfriars Polyurethane varnish satin (as with any finish on wood, nothing hotter than a cup of tea on the surface for only a brief period).

Before

Window above was in a fairly poor state. Following removal of rotten wood, cleaning, filling (Ronseal, Toupret & Prestonett wood fillers) & sanding a full coat of Zinsser B.I.N was applied, followed by Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus, then 2 x coats of Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood Jasmine White. Ironmongery and black window frame had rust and failed paint removed, sanded, cleaned with Rustoleum thinner, 2 x coats of Rustoleum CombiPrimer Grey then 2 x coats of Rustoleum CombiBlack (see right).
