Finishes matched to every surface.

When is the best time of year for exterior painting?
Late spring to early autumn — surfaces need to be dry and above roughly 10°C for paint to cure properly. We'll schedule around the forecast and tell you honestly if your job should wait.
How long does exterior paint last?
With proper prep and quality masonry paint, expect 5–15 years depending on exposure. Poor prep is why cheap jobs peel in a year — it's the part we refuse to skip.
Do you paint the whole outside of a house?
Yes — render, brick, pebbledash, cladding, windowsills, fascias, soffits, gutters and doors. We'll quote each element clearly so you choose what's included.
