Summer is the best time for painting work, especially when timber needs proper protection.
Longer days, drier conditions and fewer rainy interruptions give the paint and protective coatings a much better chance to cure properly and do their job.
This project took us to Spott House, near Dunbar in East Lothian, a historic mansion dating back to 1640, with even earlier roots going back to the 13th century. The house is also linked to the Battle of Dunbar and is said to have hosted Oliver Cromwell in 1650.
Working on a building with this kind of history is always special.
For this job, we used rope access techniques to reach and paint the difficult underside of the bridge.
But the real challenge was not just the access.
The most important part was making sure the timber was properly prepared, painted and protected, so it can stand up to the Scottish weather for years to come.
Good painting is not just about colour.
It is about protection, durability and doing the job properly while the conditions are right.
