What’s Included in Our Exterior Painting Service
Exterior decorating demands specialist knowledge and materials.
Our comprehensive service covers every stage (from initial assessment through to final inspection) ensuring your property looks its best and remains protected for years to come.
Survey & Quotation
We assess your property’s exterior condition, identify any repairs or preparation work required, and provide a detailed written quotation with transparent pricing.
Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is essential for exterior durability. We clean surfaces, remove loose or flaking paint, fill cracks and defects, apply stabilising solutions where needed, and prime bare areas before painting.
Professional Application
Our decorators apply specialist exterior paints using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment as appropriate. Multiple coats ensure even coverage and long-lasting protection against the elements.
Final Inspection
We complete a thorough walkthrough to check coverage, address any touch-ups, and ensure you’re completely satisfied with the finished result.

Choosing the Right Exterior Finish
Exterior surfaces require specialist products designed to withstand rain, frost, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. Our team advises on the best options for your property:
Masonry Paint
Water-based or solvent-based coatings for brick, render, and stone. Breathable formulations prevent trapped moisture and resist cracking.
Exterior Gloss & Satin
Durable finishes for woodwork, doors, and window frames. Designed to flex with temperature changes and resist peeling.
Wood Stains & Preservatives
Penetrating treatments for fences, gates, and timber cladding that protect against rot, algae, and insect damage.
Anti-Climb & Specialist Coatings
Security and protective finishes for commercial properties and specific requirements.
We use quality exterior products from trusted manufacturers, ensuring lasting protection and colour retention.
Why Preparation Matters
Exterior paintwork fails prematurely when preparation is neglected. Flaking, blistering, and discolouration within months are common signs of rushed or inadequate groundwork.
Our preparation process includes:
Pressure washing or hand cleaning to remove dirt, algae, and loose material
Scraping and sanding flaking or peeling paint back to a stable surface
Filling cracks, gaps, and defects with appropriate exterior fillers
Applying stabilising solution to powdery or chalky masonry
Priming bare timber, metal, and repaired areas
Masking windows, doors, and adjacent surfaces for clean edges
This thorough approach ensures your exterior paintwork adheres properly and delivers years of protection.
