ALL ABOUT PAINTING
When we paint your Summer house we use two colour matching undercoat / primer sealers on the timber before we start to hand craft your building this way all the tongues have been pre painted ready for our staff to hand craft your building...
When your pre Painted Summer House is made it comes back to our heated paint shop and is then inspected, and filled Ready for your chosen TOP SHADE...
It takes between seven to 10 days to paint a Summerhouse
Unlike most firms who just paint the exterior ( not the tongues ) we do it right, yes it takes longer but you never see those ugly white lines if the timber shrinks in summer
FIRSTLY WE PAINT THE TIMBER TO BE USED IN A COLOUR MATCHING PRIMER SEALER ( TWO COATS ) THIS MEANS THAT ALL THE TONGUES ARE FULLY PAINTED. ONCE THIS IS DONE THE TIMBER GOES INTO OUR WORKSHOP AND THE SUMMERHOUSE GETS HAND MADE , DURING THIS PERIOD THE DOORS AND WINDOWS ALONG WITH ALL THE EXTERIOR TRIM GET THE SAME TWO COATS OF COLOUR MATCH UNDERCOAT AND THEN THE TOP COAT THAT OUR CUSTOMER HAS CHOSEN THIS TIMBER IS THEN WRAPPED UP ( USUALLY ABOUT THREE TO FOUR LARGE BUNDLES ) AND WE ARE READY FOR THE SUMMERHOUSE TO COME BACK TO THE PAINT SHOP FOR ITS FINAL FILL / SAND AND WIPE DOWN AND TOP COAT FINISH.

We Build Beautiful... and We paint Beautiful....
We have a heated paint and spray area that is heated by our waste timber, We only use waste timber and cardboard to heat all our workshops thus our workshops are 100% environmentally friendly regarding keeping our staff warm and cosy.
We use this heat to ‘bake our paintwork’ as our painting workshop is the closest to our industrial heater. Our TALBOT wood burning heater is 100% eco friendly.
SO NOT ONLY IS OUR PAINT ‘WATER BASED’ ‘TOUGH AND RELIABLE’ WHEN WE BAKE THE PAINT IT GIVES A SUPERB FINISH TO YOUR SUMMERHOUSE
We have two TALBOT WOOD BURNING HEATERS this one has a heat output of 300,000 BTU about 3 times the heat output of a home gas boiler
OUR OTHER TALBOT HEATER IS 500,000 BTU
