Exterior Painting

Done Properly, From Prep to Finish

Exterior work stands or falls on preparation. Before any paint goes on, surfaces are washed down, flaking paint is scraped and sanded back, cracks are filled and bare patches are primed or stabilised. Skipping that stage is why some exterior paint jobs peel within a year or two — mine don’t.

Typical jobs include repainting render and pebbledash, refreshing front doors and window frames, painting fascias, soffits and downpipes, and smartening up garden walls, gates and railings. Whether it’s the whole front of the house or just a tired front door, no job is too small.

Exterior painting is weather-dependent, so I’ll plan the work around a suitable window and keep you informed if conditions push things about. Spring through early autumn is the ideal time — if you’re thinking about it, it’s worth booking in early.
