The Challenge

Faded, patchy paintwork and rotten boards across a large barn conversion with multiple elevations — a property where the sheer scale of the job and the dark-finish coverage make preparation and consistency critical.

What We Did

This impressive barn conversion on The Moor in Hawkhurst had weatherboarding that was showing its age throughout. The existing dark finish had faded and was failing in patches, with several boards rotten and in need of replacement. It is a large property with multiple elevations, and the scope of the job was substantial.

We replaced the failed boards on a like-for-like profile, filling and preparing meticulously before any paint was applied. Scaffold access was erected around the full height of the gable end and side elevations to allow safe, thorough coverage at every level.

The whole property was then brought back with a rich, dark satin finish — a job that demands clean lines and consistent coverage across a large surface area. The result is a dramatic transformation that does full justice to the character of this Wealden barn conversion.
