The house

A large family home in Virginia Water

After a water leak, parts of the house needed repair: the ceiling in the garage had been badly affected, and the ground-floor living space needed redecorating.

Before & after

Replastering the garage ceiling

The water-damaged ceiling was taken down back to the joists. We then replastered the ceiling, ready for decorating once the new plaster had dried.

Redecoration

Redecorating the ground-floor living space

In the ground-floor living space we protected the floors and fittings, filled and made good the walls, and used a scaffold tower to reach the high ceilings, cornices and ceiling roses before redecorating.
