Archer Project

The Archer Project is a new partnership that Scott Anson Painters and Decorators Ltd. has made, where a monthly donation is being given to aid in the work that the Archer Project does.

As a company we decorate many houses and new build properties in the Yorkshire and Humberside region and we feel that it is important to support people who do not have a safe place of their own to call home.

This Charity supports the homeless in Sheffield, whether this is being on the streets, in half way homes or sofa surfing, the Archer Project allows everyone to gain structure in their lives. 

The charity allows for a 1:1 support system to be set up for the homeless allowing them to address their issues which may range from a broken family to substance abuse or poor mental or physical health issues.

The Archer Project has been supporting homeless people for over 25 years, providing showers, laundry services, breakfast, lunch and food parcels to take away as well as in-house medical and dental clinics.

The project supports between 70 and 90 people per day.  As well as providing meals etc. they engage with people to help them to live stable and fulfilling lives, to help them from sleeping bag to employment.

We look forward to starting our partnership with The Archer Project.

Exterior Decorating

Scott Anson Painters and Decorators Ltd. have a high skill level and flexibility for all types of job. No job is ever the same. Each client receives a tailored quote and work plan to suit the requirements of job.

External decorating includes a range of services, from metalwork railings and gates to masonry and render surface coatings. We take time to make sure that the required surfaces are prepared, to make sure that when painting, the highest quality is met.

Tips for preparing:

1.      Clean the area

Remove any surface dirt and loose paint as well as any loose masonry.

2.      Repair damage

Fill any small crack and holes and rub down with sandpaper when dry to create a smooth surface.

3.      Seal and prime

Seal and prime surfaces that are porous or that are powdery with masonry primer, getting to every edge and surface to create a stable surface for painting.

4.      Prepare the work space

Protect pipes, windows or any other surface that you are not painting by wrapping news paper around or tape to stop any splashing.

Tips for painting external walls:

1.      Stipple action

When it comes to textured walls – hold the brush at 90 degrees and stippling the paint onto the surface.

2.      Start at the top

Start painting at the top and work down so that the newly painter surface doesn’t get splashed.

3.      Head for the unpainted area

Apply a paint loaded brush to an unpainted area and work towards the painted area in short horizontal and vertical strokes.

4.      Evenly paint

Try and rotate the brush to ensure the surface is evenly coated and everything is covered.

What to do with left over paint?

DO NOT EMPTY DOWN THE DRAINS.

Read the individual instructions of the paint and dispose accordingly.
