To this, Emma confirmed: “Yep, you’re right there was ivy. We used shears, secateurs, Swiss knife and our hands to cut and pull it all off. And wire brush to brush down after.”
A third asked: “Are you allowed to paint your fence? Or do you need the neighbours’ permission? I’d love to paint ours but I’m unsure on the rules.”
