Documented work, not stock

    Our work

    Every photograph on this page is a real Second to None job. Grouped by the kind of work, not staged for a portfolio: preparation, in-progress and finished shots sit side by side because that is what the job actually looked like.

    Painting

    Interior and exterior repaints, including the preparation and detail work that decides how a finish holds up.

    Roofs

    Long-run iron and concrete tile roofs, cleaned and recoated as part of the wider painting scope.

    Carpentry and repairs

    Timber repairs sequenced ahead of the final coat, so the paint goes onto sound material rather than over a problem.

    Renovations

    Kitchen fit-outs and interior strip-outs, carried through to the finished cabinetry and painted surfaces.

    Exterior cleaning

    Decks, paths and driveways pressure-washed before recoating or on their own, so grime and old coatings do not go under new work.
