Project Overview

Location: Yorkshire
Sector: Residential
Project Duration: 1 day

At Othick Property Solutions, we know it’s often the small jobs that make the biggest difference, especially when you’re getting ready to sell your home.

This particular job was all about first impressions. The homeowner asked us to remove some tired old metal balustrades from a concrete roof area and give the front a quick spruce-up with a coat of masonry paint.

Nothing fancy, just clean, tidy, and presentable – exactly what you want when buyers are coming to view.

The Challenge

This wasn’t a massive project, but it needed doing properly. The balustrades were rusting and no longer serving a purpose, and the edge of the concrete roof was looking a bit worn around the edges.

The property was up for sale, so the aim was to make sure things looked neat and well cared for as people walked up to the front door.

Timing was important too. Viewings were coming up, so we had to get in, do the job, and leave everything looking spot on.

The Solution

We arrived on site and got straight to the property maintenance job at hand.

First, the old metal balustrades were carefully removed—no mess, no damage. Then, once the roof edge was clear, we gave it a good clean and then applied a fresh coat of masonry paint to smarten it up.

It was a simple job, but we treated it with the same care and attention we give every project.

The Results

The result was a much neater, cleaner look that really lifted the front of the house. It might’ve been a small detail, but it made a big difference, especially to potential buyers walking up to the door.

The homeowner was really pleased, and we were glad to help them take one more step toward a successful sale.

Whether it’s a major renovation or a quick tidy-up, we treat every job with pride. It’s the Othick Way – straight-talking, hard-working, and always done right.

We didn’t overcomplicate things, and we didn’t drag it out. Just honest work, done properly, in and out in a day.
