Exterior painting
Render, walls, doors, windows and garden walls, in coatings made to stand up to the weather they will get.
Every job is done by Robbie.
On an exterior the preparation decides how long the paint lasts. The surface is cleaned down, anything loose comes off, repairs go in, and only then does the coating go on. Skip that and the new colour lifts with the old one.
It is the change people notice from the road. Both of the jobs on the before and after page are exteriors, photographed before the first coat and after the last.
- Render, pebbledash and smooth walls
- Fascia, soffit and gutters where they need it
- Front doors, frames and windows
- Garden walls, steps and railings
- Washed down and prepared before anything is coated
- Weather-rated coatings, chosen for the surface
Questions
Common questions about exterior painting

Usually, yes. It is the right prep for an exterior and it is a service in its own right too.

- Our web host records the usual server access logs, which include your IP address and browser, as every web server does.

Who else sees it
- The web host that serves this site, the form provider that delivers the message to Robbie’s inbox, and Cloudflare, which counts visits and holds a copy of each enquiry for up to 90 days for the counting, then deletes it.
