FAQ - Frampton & Sons Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch
What type of paint do you use?
Dulux - emulsion, gloss, undercoat, primer, depending on surface to be painted.
Johnstone's - these have a perfect match and work wonderfully alongside any farrow and ball colours.
What is paint blistering?
When the surface is still damp underneath, paint traps the moisture in and causes bubble effects. It needs to be completely sanded down and allowed to dry.
Why is the paint yellowing on my radiator?
Because wrong type of gloss paint has been used and the heat has affected it.
Why is the exterior paint on my outside walls going mouldy?
Moisture attacks surfaces, it needs Weathershield fungicidal wash, then repainted with Weathershield paint.
Why has the wood rotted around the window frames?
Moisture has got into the wood. It needs repairing or replacing and then paint applied to match existing paintwork.
Why has the paint on the outside wall gone powdery?
This is down to wear and tear, and it needs proper stabilising primer, then repainting.
How do you treat nicotine?
Wash down with suger soap and let dry thoroughly. We find applying two coats of Johnstone's Stainaway works the best, it's very important to let the first coat dry for 24 hours to make it work before applying second coat.
