Damp and stain-blocking repaint in Petersfield
We regularly handle post-leak repaints across Petersfield, especially in older stock around Liss and Liphook where flat roofs, valley gutters and shower-tray leaks create ceiling stains that keep coming back.
Local context behind the brief
Listed Georgian buildings on the Square, flint cottages across Steep and East Meon, and modern equestrian-belt homes outside town.
Audience: Owners whose ceilings or walls show tannin, nicotine, water or damp stains after a leak or long occupation.
