We do a large amount of painting/decoration on rental and buy to let properties both for agents, business and private landlords
From a quick emulsion on the walls to properties that are being completely refurbished with new kitchens/bathrooms etc
We encourage landlords to keep a note of the paint used so if a tenant moves out after 12 months a quick single coat of the same colour can often freshen up a property. So if you use magnolia make sure you know which brand it is Albany/Dulux/Johnstone’s etc
We also encourage landlords unless they are very sure of a long term let, not to allow tenants to paint rooms in strong colours as this can lead to additional work and cost in getting the room back to a more acceptable neutral colour scheme
Below we have listed a few of the properties we have done recently:-
2 Bedroom House on Camellia Drive in Warminster
This was a long term let, of a two bedroom house in Warminster, we painted the whole house, the tennant liked strong colours which took some covering, below are examples of the two bedrooms
Airbnb in Keevil, Wiltshire
This is a nice two bedroom, two bathroom Airbnb in Keevil, Wiltshire the customer likes to keep on top of the property and we just painted the main traffic areas in white to keep it sharp
Airbnb near Winsley in Wiltshire
This was a large 3 bed Annex the customer wanted freshened up so they could use it as an Airbnb
3 Bedroom House on the edge of Frome
This was a 3 bedroom, 3 storey house on the edge of Frome I guess originally some kind of farm workers house, we repainted the whole house which was in a pretty poor condition, as an example the kitchen is shown below, the landlord hadn’t finished replacing some of the kitchen doors when the pictures were taken
2 Bedroom House in Nunney
This is a 2 Bedroomed buy to let property in Nunney, fortunately for the landlord the tenant had been a long term resident, as he had used very dark colours in most of the rooms, the landlord wanted the rooms returned to white. We redecorated the entire house including painting walls in a conservatory, we worked with and around other trades who replaced both the kitchen and bathroom
1 Bedroom Flat in Frome
This is a single bedroomed buy-to-let flat in Frome, the tenant had been in there for about 4 years, not really clear from our pictures the walls and carpets were filthy, Unusually for a one bedroomed flat it had a stairwell
The entire flat was decorated with Albany magnolia vinyl matt walls and Albany white vinyl matt ceilings, the doors and woodwork were repainted in Johnstones quick drying white eggshell. The entire flat was recarpeted after we had finished. This work was carried out through the agent who the landlord phoned after completion to thank us for our work
Outside of a 2 Bedroom house in Rode
This was a buy-to-let property in Rode, about 14 years old we believe.
The customer wanted the outside painting as it hadn’t been done for many years. They asked for the house to be painted in a similar colour to next door and left the actual choice to us. The customer had also tried to repair the shed roof the previous year but the felt had only lasted 6 months so we were asked to do this at the same time
3 Bedroom house near Westwood
This is a 3 bedroom semi detached rental cottage in a stunning location near Westwood in Wiltshire, in-between tenants the customer wanted the property freshened up with a single coat of emulsion to the walls and a single coat of white eggshell to the woodwork. The customer didn’t want the ceilings repainted
