Have a ‘slide away’ through pics of latest job (yes I’m MASSIVELY jumping on the Oasis bandwagon… d’you know what I mean? 😂🤷‍♂️😎😜)

Hall, Stairs & Landing in was looking past its morning glory but I knew I could roll with it and bring back the wonder walls. Some might say it’s now looking supersonic but as a painter I just roll with it.

Are the following Masterplan paint specs my favourite at the moment? Definitely Maybe! (Actually just definitely)

velvet Matt on walls

ceiling paint

bullseye 123plus primer

And ScuffX eggshell

And with a decent waterbased finish paint on woodwork compared to oil base… you know the whiteness will Live forever

And if you disagree… Whatever 😬

14 years ago when my hair grew upwards out the top of my head… instead of growing everywhere else BUT my scalp 🤪 this gorgeous lady said “yeah go on then… you’ll do forever I suppose” 😉

Happy Anniversary Mrs B 😘❤️❤️❤️

Huge thanks to Beckenham Rubbish for their assistance clearing waste from my property today! Exceptional customer service, great communication in the lead up to the organised collection date and excellent value for money saving me from either having to order a skip or countless trips to the dump using my own vehicle.

Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Massive shout out and huge thank you to these two absolute gents from

Did the official big move into our new home today… and moving home is always mega stressful 😩 However it was the second time we used these guys and can’t praise them enough!

Don’t get me wrong… I hate moving 😵‍💫🥴🤣… but they are excellent at what they do. Fast, efficient, superb time keeping and leave you with peace of mind knowing all your household items are in safe hands.

As a tradesman with my own business I know that recommendations are so appreciated and it’s nice to be able to share and recommend another business that deserves recognition for their excellent customer service 👍

Had a blast in the studio on today’s Painting & Decorating show with top class painter & decorator and all round top bloke 🤝

Chris has joined us over the phone on many occasions and is always great to chat with but we finally got him in in person!

Today we discussed Chris’ career and experiences in the trade. And next week he’ll be back with us for another show too!

The show will be repeated at 10pm tonight on Fix radio or alternatively the podcast is available now from wherever you normally listen to your pods.. and on most occasions there’ll be extra content on the podcasts 👍

What a beautiful moment this was ❤️

New work clobber 😎💪🕺

Much needed as most of my work clothes are either knackered, shrunk, paint splattered or ‘holey-er’ than Vatican City 🕳️🙏 😬

Let’s see how long I can keep them clean.
I give it a day… 🎨

Do you like my Blue window? 😆

Got some sample / tester pots to trial out for my client on current job.

Nothing worse when customers slap a load of tester paint patches on the walls which ends up looking like a giant blob of coloured artex you then have to sand the life out of to get smooth again 🙄

Simple solution is apply to lining paper and then they can hold up in various areas in the room and up against different lighting etc

Extra tip: Get a couple coats on to see the true depth of colour… but don’t wait around for it to dry between coats, just blast it with a hair dryer after the first coat (not looking for perfection on a sample patch 😉)

Don’t know about you but it annoys me when someone says “Do you ONLY do painting & decorating?”

Our industry goes way beyond giving something a simple ‘lick’ of paint… we bring life back to old, outdated and worn out spaces!

Had the pleasure of working on numerous projects over the years that were in desperate need of a fresh start.

And here’s a few examples from the Bardall Decorating archives that had seen better days and given a new lease of life.

My baby girl turns double digits ❤️🥳

Can’t believe how fast time flies by. Feels like yesterday I could hold her in my hands… and also when my head used to not be upside down too 🙃

I’m truly blessed to have a daughter that is so smart, funny &beautiful.
I really do owe a lot to the milkman.

And if she ever changes her mind of being a pop star + actress + primary school teacher when she’s older… maybe I can teach her the next best thing and become a painter & decorator instead (or host a radio show) 😉

Love you all the world 🥰❤️

Nice spruce up for this landing and staircase using paints & colour matched to F&B on feature wall with matching colour woodwork

Great meet up with everyone once again (there was more people there other than me & my bro but I’m rubbish & getting pics 🥴)

The builders station keeps getting bigger & better and loving being a part of it ❤️
