It’s Easter and the winter break is over.  The scaffolding started going up yesterday.  The intention is to complete any exterior work that needs doing before it comes down again at the end of June.

The paint strippers arrive next week to remove the magnolia paint from the brickwork.   Then the roofer will remove and re-fit the tiles and replace the lead work.  Some of the wood looks to be in a poor state so that will need dealing with.  Finally I’ll re-point in lime and paint anything that needs painting.

The scaffold has been covered with sheeting, partly because paint stripping is a messy business, but mostly for the effect.

The scaffolding was put up by Trueform Scaffolding of Willington, Bedfordshire.
