Gardens behind Teversham's detached and semi-detached homes
Detached and semi-detached homes make up close to 59% of the village, so plenty of gardens have boundaries on two or three sides. Panels, posts and gravel boards fail first at ground level, where rain splashes back, and shed doors and window frames let water in at the edges. Those areas get a proper coat rather than a quick pass.
We clean timber with a jet wash and anti-fungal wash where the surface suits it, and more gently on soft, rough-sawn panels. Everything dries out thoroughly before paint or stain goes on.
Paint or stain for garden timber
Opaque garden paint gives a shed an even colour across weathered boards, while stain lets the grain show and is easier to recoat on a fence. Graham will recommend a product at the visit and we'll paint small test patches first.
The work needs dry wood and a few dry hours afterwards, so late spring to early autumn is the usual window. If the house needs attention too, our exterior painting service can run in the same visit, and you can read what customers said about their sheds on the reviews page.

How we approach shed, fence & gate painting
We start by flagging rotten boards or posts for our carpenter, then clean off algae and dirt, scrape and sand flaking paint on sheds and gates, and protect paving and plants. Gates get every face, including top and bottom edges. On long fence runs we may use our Graco sprayer, but only where overspray can be properly controlled. The full method, products and FAQs are on our shed, fence & gate painting page.
