Fence painting work in Co. Meath
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.
The commuter belt works on a different rhythm to the city. Households here are usually out during the day and want a key-holder they trust rather than someone different each week — which means the work tends to be regular, and the client relationships tend to last longer than in the centre.
