Painting & Decorating – Water based paint finish on woodwork

Painting and decorating can be disruptive. 

When deciding to redecorate you may want to select a paint finish that will reduce the time it takes to redecorate, at the same time reducing the odour of paint in your environment. 

We would like to bring to your attention water based paint finishes on woodwork.   We tried and tested it for our clients, we know our clients expect and get a very good standard of finish.
