Hi, I am looking for a quote to paint out my house and garage as well as the roof. The house has a brick bottom and the top section of the house needs painting. The roof is a zink roof on both the garage and house. The house is a pitched roof and the garage is a flat roof. Would the colour of the paint make a difference as I would like to paint the house a charcoal colour with white trim (windows)? Look forward to hearing from you. Please note I am not always on my phone but if you leave a message if you cannot get hold of me I will call you back otherwise you can send me a quote via the email address supplied. Thank you '

Replacement for hinged old double wooden doors with cottage pane windows. cm high wide and about 20 cm depth of the wall. Considering aluminium replacement. Prefer NOT just full plain glass from a security perspective BUT will consider it as an option, please. What hinged options do you have? Not a supporter of sliding doors from a security perspective alone. Security of the door is key, the nature of the door itself, the security of locking, etc. House has a lot of wooden cottage panes!
