He now uses the skills passed on to him by his father in the decorative paint finishes applied to furniture. Ian’s daughter has now joined the family business. They specialise in painting fitted kitchens or freestanding bedroom and bathroom furniture. Old tired laminate or timber kitchens can be rejuvenated by preparing the existing surface to accept paint then applying the paint to your chosen colour.
