Local Work : Not So Local Work : Cambridge |
Decorating a
Cambridge property. All of the
images seen here are of the complete re-decoration of a doctors
house in Cambridge, along with other works of making good and
replacing fixtures and fittings. |

Living room with concealed
downlights on a dimmer switch |
Detail around the fireplace |
The chandelier is new to the room,
as it had no central light. The rose had been sealed and the switch
took some finding.
 Eventually we found it on the wrong side of the door opening, and sealed in to the wall. |

Kitchen with french
doors to garden |

| Front garden needs
attention as well as the widows and cills  |
Stripped back the
wisteria to a manageable size, spliced in new oak to 2 of the 3
cills and then repainted the whole front. |
Flank wall view of the
property with everything painted and finished, including the garden
gate. |

The stained glass window in the flank wall had rotted out, so we removed the window completely, and had a new oak frame made by a local joiner. The glass was also sent off to a restorer, cleaned, re-leaded and repaired as needed. The whole was then fitted back with great rejoicing from the owners. |

Completely rotten frame |
A large hole  |
Weather proof |
|
| 6 weeks for the new
frame to arrive, but back in and sealed until glass gets back  |
Re glazed, job done
 |
Much better from the
inside |
|
| Have since been back to the property to hang over 70 pictures throughout | |||
