I purchased 3 x 10 litre tubs of Sandtex smooth pure brilliant white paint from Wickes<\/a>, as they were having a 10% off option if you ordered via click and collect, and this made them the cheapest supplier.<\/p>\n

I painted as much as I could from the ground or with a short step ladder, then hired a 4.2m scaffold tower from Selco<\/a> to allow me to safely paint the upper levels, this worked out at about half the price of ordering from any of the other local hire shops.<\/p>\n

Whilst I had the scaffold tower, I used the opportunity to fit a DAB aerial to the aerial mast and also to clean out the gutters on the front of the house.<\/p>\n

This was also the best time to fit some new fascia boards to the apex on the front of the house to finish off the new look.<\/p>\n

Here are some shots of the finished house:<\/p>\n
