We used our Graco HVLP 4500 to achieve an excellent finish that withstand all the elements.

Rather than using a gloss paint we used Rustoleums CombiColour, which is more flexible than other specialist metal paints.

Rustoleum CombiColour is availiable in all RAL numbers and a number of different finishes.

Marshalltown Skywalker Stilts in Operation….

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Spectrum Decorating Services has recently purchased Marshalltown Skywalker stilts to help speed up the process of repetitive working at height.

These stilts allow us to concentrate on working continuously at a set height rather than having to keep climbing up and down ladders.

As always Spectrum Decorating Services is always staying one step ahead of competition using the best possible tools and equipment to get the job finished on time.

Here we are using them to work on a large office window in London, nr. Smithfield Meat Market.

External Decorations in Burwash, East Sussex

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Spectrum Decorating Services are currently working in Burwash, East Sussex.

The Grade II listed property is believed to date back to the 1800′s and was converted into seven apartments in 1993.

We are currently refurbishing the rear and sides of the property for Garstons Ltd, the freeholder.

Due to the age of the property we have come across numerous problems, mainly rotten sash windows, some of which have been beyond repair.  An example is pictured below.

The colours have been chosen by the client.  They are Johnstones – Mushroom on the main walls and Johnstones – Magnolia on the detailed sections of the building.

Reclamation Kitchen in Tonbridge

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Spectrum Decorating Services has just completed a project for SGS Design in Tonbridge, Kent.

The instruction from SGS was to make all walls and ceiling bright and white.

We used a Brilliant White Diamond Matt to give extra durability being this was planned to be one of the main hubs of the house.

In order to put a bit of colour into the project SGS wanted us to use Farrow & Balls Cornforth White on the door frames and skirting boards.  Also painted in Cornforth White was the stunning Georgian Sash window, a main focal point above a butlers sink.  As an experiment we decided to try the colour in Farrow & Balls Dead Flat Oil, an experiment that was well worth taking.

Once we handed over SGS Design moved in to create a fantastic blend of new and old, an industrial antique looking living area.

Flat Refurbishment in Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Spectrum Decorating Services has recently completed a refurbishment project for a client living out of the country.

Having the flat previously rented out had left everything looking tired, so we were asked to give it a complete make over.  All the rooms were given a nice fresh look by going for a neutral colour on the walls and crisp new white woodwork to highlight the fabulous old features such as big sash windows and original panel doors.

Along with the painting, Spectrum Decorating Services also updated the old tiles in the bathroom that had previously been painted with tile paint some 10 years ago.  The old ones were removed and replaced with new white tiles to achieve a fresh look without major expense.

Spectrum Decorating Services also helped with arranging new carpet and lino to finish the whole refurb to an extremely high standard as promised.
