Fence painting work in Co. Dublin
Fence work is outdoor painting with a weather window: the timber has to be dry, which in Ireland narrows it to a run of good days. It is straightforward, it is often bought alongside garden work, and it repeats every couple of years for the same clients.
Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.
