Exterior painting
A repainted exterior protects your home for years. Companies assess the surface, wash and scrape, repair any rot and choose a paint system suited to what was used before. Tell us the exterior material, the size of the property and roughly when it was last painted.
Frequently asked questions
How often should an exterior be repainted?
Timber often needs repainting every several years depending on exposure, paint type and upkeep, while render and masonry last longer. Flaking paint and greying timber are clear signs it is due.
What is the best season for exterior painting?
Dry spells in the milder months are ideal, when temperatures stay comfortably above freezing and surfaces can dry. Companies plan around the weather, so allow some flexibility in your timeline.
Is scaffolding or access equipment included?
For taller properties it often is — check that scaffolding or an access platform is specified in the quote so there are no surprises. Mention the number of storeys in your request.
