September 2025 - Painting Project in Weymouth

We were contacted by a repeat customer who originally found us on Facebook, needing help with some painting work in Weymouth. Our client had a "painter" come in and leave her project like this... no sanding, no cleaning, no prep! wardrobe not moved and wall not painted behind it, no caulk used, awful masking tape used which was completely ineffective for the cutting in, walls need another coat, skirting not painted under the radiator.... because a bin was there? wrong...

Just Stop Oil

Now hear me out... I know they're controversial and I know they wind a lot of people up but one thing they did do is get people talking.
