We provided this lovely couple with a detailed quotation for the internal decorations to their bungalow in Hanslope.  It involved decorations to their kitchen, hallway, bedroom and lounge. These were pretty straight forward decorations comprising of undercoat and gloss to all woodwork and emulsion to all walls, ceilings and coving. We did however have to pay particular attention to the bedroom as they had a problem with damp. We therefore cleaned, treated and applied ‘Crown Steracryl’ mould inhibitating paint prior to decorations.

Mr and Mrs Hughes were at home whilst all works were undertaken.  They were the perfect customers keeping our ‘lads’ supplied with tea and biscuits during the two weeks we were on site. Works were completed as promised just in time for Christmas.

In the early part of  January we received our payment and a thank you card. The text read as follows:-

To Steve and all the men who worked so hard to make our bungalow look so nice. We have had many comments on how wonderful and such a good job you made.

We entirely agree.

Many thanks to you all.

Mr and Mrs Hughes

Appealing to a discerning audience

McCann Homes created an exclusive lakeside development at Caldecotte Lake in Milton Keynes.

We won the contract because of our guaranteed, high-quality workmanship, as some of the houses where on the market for almost half a million pounds.

Our team decorated the houses as they were built. This 12 month development project included:

  • seven, four-bedroom town houses
  • eight semidetached homes; six had three storeys
  • 77 luxury apartments

The quality and cleanliness of finish was vital to enable McCanns to produce accommodation designed to appeal to a discerning audience. Varnished wood had to be smooth and spotless, with perfectly clean lines where it met painted walls. All decorations had to be flawless to enhance the thoughtfully designed, contemporary kitchens, bathroom suites and vanity units, with Porcelanosa tiling.

Attention to detail, from floor to ceiling, inside and out

Although a beautiful home, with period fixtures and fittings, Dove Cottage was in need of repair inside and out.

Using hydraulic access equipment and mobile towers, we removed ageing putty from the wooden window frames and made long-term, if not permanent, repairs before redecorating them.

Inside, all furniture, fixtures and fittings were fully protected as the our team carefully worked their way through the house repairing and redecorating. Within three weeks the entire house was fully restored and gleaming.

“We were very pleased with the quality of workmanship (painting and joinery) and the attention to detail of all the workman. We would definitely consider using ESK again.”

Urgent repairs to a country home

This house in Winslow, situated in the Buckinghamshire countryside, was in need of extensive external repairs. It included dilapidated outhouses, badly cracked rendering, failing gutters, exposed damaged woodwork where paint had flaked away and unkempt doors and windows.

We set to work cleaning all the surfaces, including rainwater systems, removing plant and fungal growth, repairing cracks and sanding surfaces in preparation for painting. When the external had been thoroughly mended and cleaned, our team applied protective coatings before the final layers of specialist paints.

“We were very impressed with the service. The quote was competitive, the painters were professional, friendly and did an excellent job. There were several areas of rotten woodwork, on the windows, and they were repaired to a very high standard. We would certainly use ESK again.”

“ESK are over and above the most efficient and proactive company I have had the pleasure of working with.”

Personal Group Benefits delivers and communicates employee benefit programmes. The company bought a house in the prestigious area of Campbell Park, near its office in central Milton Keynes, to accommodate members of its busy workforce. This house had to exceed employee expectations in providing a comfortable and luxurious place to live.

Our project manager took care of all aspects of upgrading the interior, exterior and garden area of the house. This included stripping the interior and unwanted garden furnishing, swift disposal and complete refurbishment. The customer feedback speaks for itself:

“ESK were extremely professional in all works carried out, at the premises. The quotation was competitive. We were very pleased in the way all issues were dealt with on the checklist, without having to chase them up.”

“The painters provided protection for the flooring and carpets and made sure at the end of each day that everything was put away and wiped over. ESK arrived promptly on the days arranged and completed the work within the timescale given.”

“ESK performed beyond my expectations: some trades can try to miss things out or hurry things along, resulting in the work not looking 100%, whereas ESK made sure they kept a high standard throughout.”

“ESK are over and above the most efficient and pro-active company I have had the pleasure of working with. They were informative from start to finish, with meetings, quotes, and timescales. They provided an impeccable service and I look forward to working with them in the future. You can see just by looking at the pictures, what a fantastic and homely atmosphere they have created for us.”
