We had Chris at Painted Black paint our railings, balcony and window bars. He did an amazing job. After initially asking for a quote to simply sand and paint, he suggested angle-grinding off all the old paint from the front railings which would reveal more detail of the original ironwork. And it was worth it. As well as showing loads more of the original detail it has meant that we now have an even, clean coat of paint on the railings. Once back to the original metal, it had a coat of red oxide primer, then a gloss black paint with primer. It's brought them back a treat. For the bars and balcony, Chris sanded carefully, primed and painted.
Chris has a real appreciation of 'Old Edinburgh' and took a great deal of care with the job. Trustworthy and hard-working, Chris has a calm manner and is a methodical worker. He was very respectful to our house, kept his workspace tidy and cleaned up every day.
We are so glad we found Chris for this job and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. https://www.facebook.com/newtownrailings read more
