Porter Davis homes
Hahaha yeah the brickies aren't exactly quick to come back for small jobs!
Ring the SS and ask him when it's being done cause it really needs to be done before…
Porter Davis homes
Yeah cause the base render needs good time to dry before the top coat so that's done early. Colour coat is the last thing in case the trades damage during…

People that had paint issues i.e. Not being able to wash the walls, yellowing skirts/doors etc, did you get any rectification?
