The project in detail
A returning customer whose Faringdon bedroom had been through a difficult few years. The plaster was heavily damaged, and a previous emergency DIY attempt to address it had made things harder rather than easier. There were runs, paint drips, and uneven application throughout the room. The brief was a refresh within an agreed budget, which meant working honestly with the customer about what was achievable. Not every imperfection would be resolved; some areas of damage were beyond what the budget allowed us to address to a perfect standard, and we said so upfront. What the budget did allow was a thorough preparation of the surfaces that could be corrected, followed by a clean, consistent redecoration. The ceiling was finished in Dulux Trade White Emulsion, the walls in Crown Paints, and all woodwork, including skirting boards, architraves, and doors, in Benjamin Moore Scruff-x Satin tinted to Chantilly Lace. The result is a room that looks genuinely fresh and well-finished for a customer who was happy with the outcome and understood exactly what they were getting.
