Your 4-week posting calendar
Week 1
Hallway before and after
Dark and scuffed at the start of the week, light and calm by the end. We filled, sanded and gave these walls two coats of [colour]. Thinking about your own hallway? Message us a photo and we will arrange a quote visit.
How we protect your home
Before a brush comes out, floors are covered, furniture is wrapped and door handles are masked. It is the part of the job you never see in the photos, but you notice it when we leave. Message us to book a quote visit.
Calm bedroom colours
A quiet bedroom we painted in [colour] with crisp white woodwork. Save it for your next room, then visit our website to ask for a quote.
Week 2
Cutting in by hand
No tape, just a steady brush along the ceiling line. Cutting in by hand is how we keep edges sharp on the uneven walls of older homes. Message us if your ceilings need a clean finish.
Send a photo for a quote
Planning to repaint a room? Send us a photo and the rough size here on WhatsApp and we will reply with what the job involves and when we can come round to quote.
Meet the painter
This is [name], who will be painting your rooms. Tidy, patient and always happy to talk colours. Send us a message to book a quote visit in [area].
Week 3
Matt, eggshell or satin
Matt hides small flaws, eggshell wipes clean and satin stands up to knocks. Swipe to see where we use each one in a family home. Still unsure? Message us and we will help you choose at the quote visit.
A house front repainted
This rendered house front needed cracks filled and loose paint scraped before two coats of masonry paint. Dry days are booking up, so call [phone] or message us to get your exterior on the list.
Painted kitchen cabinets
Kitchen cabinets sanded, primed and painted in [colour] rather than replaced. Save it for ideas and visit our website to ask about your own kitchen.
Week 4
Wallpaper feature wall
Pattern matched, joins tight and edges trimmed clean. Hanging wallpaper well is slow, careful work, and this wall shows why it is worth it. Message us to talk about a feature wall of your own.
A kind review
We were glad to read this from [customer first name] after we painted their living room and stairs. Thinking of a refresh before [occasion]? Message us or call [phone] to book a quote visit.
Dates for next month

Words in [square brackets] are for you to fill in, like a price or an offer.
