Pebble dash rendering and painting

Posted on: January 30th, 2012

Pebbledash rendering

Pebbledash rendering and replacement is something that can be carried out with the minimum of fuss by the never paint again exterior wall coatings installation teams across the UK.

Pebble dash is not to everyone’s taste and like it or loath it, it doesn’t last for ever and at some time and if your house is plastered in pebbledash, it is going to need to be re-done, but do you REALLY WANT that awful stuff covering your home?

If you’re not too sure, please can we have 5 minutes of your time to read this and then see what you think…………

NPA’s removal tips for paint and external wall coatings

Our website is well known for tips and advice about applying paint, but we felt that a tip or two about REMOVING paint would also add to the balance of things, so how do you remove paint?

Stripping paint and other unwanted wall coatings is usually the job that both DIYers and contractors loath and detest, but what goes on, must eventually come off, and paint or wall coating stripping cant be avoided!

Here are a few pointers to make the unbearable, a bit more bearable.

Removing a coating or a paint finish from a wall is awful, lets face it, but it has to be done sometimes and is usually very hard work. In fact, in most cases, if its a professional job in the first place as opposed to a cowboy lick of paint, then ironically, the job can be 10 times as hard as removing a poorly applied paint finish!

Luckily there are some tools available which should make the work of stripping paint much easier.

Estimate for painting and decorating house

Posted on: January 9th, 2012

Decorating quote for house

It’s that time of year yet again, to find a reputable decorator to give you a price quote or estimate for painting the exterior of your house. It seems like only last year you paid to have it done, in fact, it probably was last year!

Every single year, or 2 years if you are one of the lucky ones, it’s time to find a decorator to give you a price to have the outside of the property painted.

Getting 3 quotes, waiting around for people who then never turn up, calling more people, trawling the internet for advice, checking out the possible scams, doing reference checks on tradesman, its a right load of hassle and in this day and age, wouldn’t it be nice if there was another way?

Another way to avoid yearly house painting, avoid cowboy and cash-in-hand painters, and to finally cure all the wall problems that the decorator just paints over, smiling as he does, because he knows next year he can fleece you of another 2 grand.

If only there was another way!

Well i’m very pleased to tell you THERE IS another way.

There is now a simple wall coating system available from NEVER PAINT AGAIN!
