- This exterior, we stripped the paint off back to bare timber using our mirka sanders and dust extraction kit which minimises the mess created. We then removed all the rotten timber and treated the areas with a timber rot hardener, the damages and holes were then repaired with repaircare epoxy resin. Once dry we sanded the epoxy then primed the windows with Zinsser primer, then we sealed the windows with repaircare glazing sealant. Undercoated the windows with Dulux weathershield undercoat, and topcoated with dulux weathershield high gloss.

Review by Nick Edbrooke
on 23rd September 2025
Nick Edbrooke - Image 1 "Ollie has just finished installing custom shelving, cupboards and a desk area into my main lounge, and he did a fantastic job. The unit looks amazing, and really transforms the room! The quality of the work is also exceptional. Furthermore I was away during the process and he kept me informed at every stage of the job, checking with me when decisions needed to be made. He seemed to do the job extremely quickly and cleared everything away, leaving the space pristine and tidy. I thought the price was also extremely reasonable for the quality of the end product and services. Extremely highly recommended - thank you Ollie!"

Josh - Image 1 4 images Josh - Image 2 Josh - Image 3 Josh - Image 4 "We used Diggins of Dulwich for some redecoration work at our flat in Balham. Joe was amazing from start to finish - he took the time to come and see the flat, recommended the work that he thought was needed, and provided a clear and competitive quote. He was great to have around the flat, always on time, very professional but also great to have a chat with! Joe did an excellent job fixing numerous problems that arose through the job and provided a great finish across our living room, hallway and bathroom. We are very happy with the end result and will definitely be using Joe and Diggins of Dulwich again for any future work!"
Trader reply: "Thank you very much for your kind words and wonderful review. I look forward to working for you both again in the near future, all the best. Joe"

"Ollie and Mick were were incredibly helpful throughout - built and painted a new wardrobe across a full wall of the bedroom. Always able to offer solutions and interpret my requests. Communication was excellent - they kept me updated on progress and let me know where they were going to be each day. High quality work, and always friendly with it. Can't recommend highly enough."

Throughout his time here, he was always punctual, thorough, and totally professional in every aspect of his work, and we are delighted with the results - so much so that we are looking forward to seeing him again in June for the redecoration of our bedroom."
