- 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 Sara
on 8th May 2026
Sara - Image 1 "Ollie installed a built-in system of wardrobes, shelving, and a wallbed that has transformed our small flat! We decided to go bespoke after months of trying and failing to find a wallbed company. We reached out to Ollie for a quote and came by the flat to have a look at the space that weekend. He was polite and confident about his ability to do the job, which gave us confidence in choosing him, too. Planning the job via emails was a breeze, we largely knew what we wanted but Ollie offered some great ideas that we ended up implementing into the final design. Finally, the quality of the work is astounding, especially given how challenging working in our (again, very small) flat must have been. The work is solid and has elegant solutions to our flat's unique problems. The paint job is flawless and Ollie was sure that our flat was clean and that every aspect of the work was perfect in the end. We recommend Ollie wholeheartedly and will hopefully have him back around again in future!"

Lizzy - Image 1 "I recently had my hallway completely revamped by the Diggins brothers and I couldn’t be happier. Joe did an excellent job with the panting and decorating, helping me when I was undecided on the colour - very glad we chose the darker option - and Ollie fitted a new oak bannister and the finished product is better than imagined. Thank you both!"

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"
