The brief
A considered, long-term finish.
Four Oaks Painting & Decorating completed a programme of exterior redecoration and remedial timber work at Sutton Court, an occupied residential development in Wolverhampton managed by Castle Estates.
The project covered painted external elevations, fascias, soffits, entrance details, metal handrails and other communal exterior features. During the work, areas of significantly decayed timber were uncovered around the roofline and entrance sections. These sections required proper removal and replacement before the decorative system could be completed.

Craft
Preparation & finish.
Preparation
Preparation included removing loose and failing coatings, localised repairs, removal of rotten timber where discovered, installation of replacement timber sections, priming and undercoating exposed timber, and preparing fascias, soffits, entrance details and external metalwork before recoating.
Finish details
Rendered elevations were finished in a breathable light neutral masonry coating. Woodwork was prepared and finished in Dulux Trade Satinwood, with primer and undercoat applied to bare and newly repaired sections. Darker exterior details on handrails, entrance sections and roofline provided a defined contrast.
Services included
Everything in scope.
- Preparation and painting of rendered exterior elevations
- Decoration of fascias and soffits
- Painting timber strips and details above entrance doors
- Preparation and decoration of metal handrails
- Decoration of bin-store and fencing elements
- Luminescent coating to designated step areas
- Isolated repairs and making good where required
- Maintaining safe access around an occupied residential development
Outcome
The customer result.
The completed project has refreshed the exterior appearance of Sutton Court while also resolving substantial areas of previously concealed timber deterioration.
The light masonry finish gives the development a cleaner and more consistent appearance, while the darker handrails, entrance sections and roofline details provide a defined contrast.
The defective timber was not simply concealed beneath new paint. The affected areas were opened, documented and replaced before decoration, providing Castle Estates with a properly completed maintenance project rather than a temporary cosmetic improvement.
