Exterior Painting
Weatherproof, long-lasting exterior decorating that protects and transforms your home.
Exterior decorating is as much about protection as appearance. Sun, wind and rain are relentless, so we prepare every surface carefully — stripping flaking paint, treating timber, stabilising chalky masonry and making good — before applying breathable, flexible coatings built to last. The result is a home that looks immaculate from the street and is properly protected against the weather for years to come.

Exterior Painting — your questions answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure? Give us a call — we are happy to help.
When is the best time for exterior painting?
Exterior decorating is best done in dry, mild conditions, typically between spring and early autumn, when surfaces are dry and temperatures are stable enough for coatings to cure properly. We keep an eye on the forecast and plan the work around the weather to give you the longest-lasting finish.
How long does an exterior repaint take?
A full exterior repaint usually takes between three days and two weeks, depending on the size of the property, the condition of the surfaces and access. Preparation — scraping, sanding, repairs and making-good — is the bulk of the work and the key to a finish that lasts. We will give you a clear timeline up front.
What kind of masonry paint do you use?
We use high-quality, breathable and flexible masonry coatings that move with the building and let trapped moisture escape, which helps prevent flaking and cracking. On older or chalky surfaces we apply a stabilising primer first. The right system depends on your render and exposure, and we will recommend the best option for your home.
