Careful staircase repainting for Petersfield homes
In taller Petersfield town-houses (Edwardian, Georgian and modern three-storey), the stairwell wall can be over 6 m high — that turns from a decorating job into an access-planning job, which we price separately.
What we usually see at survey
Listed Georgian buildings on the Square, flint cottages across Steep and East Meon, and modern equestrian-belt homes outside town.
Audience: Homeowners refreshing the hardest-working zone of the house.
