Casement window sill repair

Wet rot had affected a substantial portion of this casement window sill.

Rather than simply use 2-part filler on its own, the team retrieved the sill by screwing on a section of 2 x 1 planed timber and hardening the underlying substrate.

A small gap was left, and this was flush-filled with 2-part filler, prior to repainting.

Trim Colour Series, no.2: F&B Drawing Room Blue

The owners of this house, in a distinctive and peaceful part of Greenwich, suspect that their front door has been blue for over a century. This continuity — which also applies to the red, green and black front doors nearby — has been lightly enforced.

UV damage to the existing paintwork had dulled and lightened it — the new colour is Drawing Room Blue by Farrow & Ball, and works beautifully.

Trim colour series, no.1: Oval Room Blue

We’ll now be writing once every week or two on colour: looking at ideas, sources of inspiration and recent notable examples of where we or our clients have used colour successfully.

Our eye was caught by a recent post at The Chromologist, covering 10 living rooms.

This room uses Plummett from Farrow and Ball…

And here is an example of another Farrow & Ball colour, Oval Room Blue

Oval Room Blue was also used with success by the Trim crew on the exterior redecoration of the Myla and Davis hairdressing salon in Herne Hill, in south London…
