Exterior woodwork repainting in Eastleigh
The trick with exterior woodwork in Eastleigh is honest preparation. Failing paint has to come off, resin repairs need time to cure, and primer has to bite before topcoat goes on. Short-cutting any step reduces the cycle from 7 years to 2.
Local context behind the brief
Edwardian railway-town housing in central Eastleigh, executive estates in Chandler's Ford, and modern logistics units on Wide Lane.
