See prices guideExterior Painting in Dalston — FAQs.
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.
Do you cover Dalston?
Yes — our local decorators cover Dalston (E8) and the surrounding area, including Dalston Junction, De Beauvoir Town, Haggerston, De Beauvoir. Same-week slots are often available.
Are you insured to work in Dalston?
Yes — every job in Dalston is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
How soon can you start in Dalston?
Smaller Dalston jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
