2021 Railings
The railings at the main entrance and around the balcony at the front, desperately needed doing. They also had lead paint.
This was the same with the guard rails on the front windows, and in some cases the wood used was also in bad condition.
So, they were stripped and repainted. Sadly, we were not quick enough as rust has already started to come through again.
Samples
Before
They looked ok, but...
Stripped Down
... we can see the damage under the (lead) paint
Being Repainted
We used a linseed based paint, not sure if it was the best choice.
Great Match
The quality may not have been that good, but the colour was perfect for the shutters.
Stripped Rails
Here the rails have been stripped down. Sadly rust has since come back.

Rust Came Back Quickly
Left of the Balcony
Was especially difficult
