Fareham stain-block ceiling & wall repainting
Nicotine yellowing on Fareham rental properties is a specific problem: standard emulsion won't cover it, and 3–4 coats of matt still turn yellow within days. A single shellac primer coat kills it permanently before topcoat goes on.

Why the setting changes the work
Mix of 1980s–2000s commercial units at Segensworth, modern Whiteley village retail and apartments, plus Victorian terraces along West Street.
Audience: Owners whose ceilings or walls show tannin, nicotine, water or damp stains after a leak or long occupation.
