How the project runs.
Inspection
Detailed survey of the property — substrate condition, moisture, repairs required. We assess every elevation before exterior painting and decorating begins.
Repair & prepare
Burning off, sanding, filling, replacement of rotten timber, masonry stabiliser where required. Preparation is what makes exterior house painting last.
Protection & priming
Substrate-appropriate primers and undercoats; full sheeting of windows, paths and planting before the topcoat system is applied.
Top coats
Weathershield-grade systems applied in suitable conditions by experienced exterior painters in Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham.
Final walk-around
We inspect every elevation with you before sign-off, whether it's a single house painters exterior job or a larger project.
How long a project of this type usually takes.
Exterior projects are scheduled around weather conditions to ensure proper curing and long-term durability. A typical semi-detached or detached repaint runs 1–2 weeks once on site.
Programmes are confirmed weather-dependent. We never apply coatings in unsuitable conditions — long-term durability is the priority.
How the work is actually specified.
Exterior work fails when prep is rushed or the wrong system is specified. We work to manufacturer-grade specifications on render, masonry, joinery and metalwork — with moisture-tested substrates and proper repair before any coating goes on.
Coating system
- Masonry: stabiliser where required, then two coats Sandtex Trade High Cover or Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry
- Joinery: Zinsser Cover Stain or Sikkens Cetol HLSe primer, two topcoats Sikkens Rubbol AZ Plus / Teknos Nordica Eko 33 / Weathershield Satin or Gloss
- Metalwork: rust-converting primer, then Bedec MSP or Owatrol-based system
- Lime-based fillers and breathable systems on period and listed properties
Substrate & preparation
- Full elevation survey — substrate, movement, moisture, repair scope
- Hot-air strip on lifted paint, sanding back to sound substrate
- Timber moisture content tested below 18% before priming

- Wet-rot treatment and epoxy splice repairs where timber is recoverable
