Exterior Painting
Exterior painting and full property restorations on period and detached family homes across Sutton Coldfield, Four Oaks, Little Aston and Lichfield — render, masonry, sash windows, fascias, soffits, doors and gates. Built to handle British weather, finished to look like the day you bought the house.

How the project runs.
Inspection
Detailed survey of the property — substrate condition, moisture, repairs required.
Repair & prepare
Burning off, sanding, filling, replacement of rotten timber, masonry stabiliser where required.
Protection & priming
Substrate-appropriate primers and undercoats; full sheeting of windows, paths and planting.
Top coats
Weathershield-grade systems applied in suitable conditions.
Final walk-around
We inspect every elevation with you before sign-off.
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
- End-grain sealed; beads re-puttied with Repaircare Dryflex or linseed putty on heritage windows
- Wet-rot treatment and epoxy splice repairs where timber is recoverable
Product selection
- Sikkens — long-term proven joinery system on UK weather
- Dulux Weathershield and Sandtex Trade — predictable masonry performance
- Teknos Nordica Eko 33 — low-VOC waterborne, factory-grade sheen retention
- Repaircare for structural timber repair — load-bearing, paintable, decades-long
Finish & durability
- 8–10 year repaint cycle on south and west elevations with a Sikkens spec
- Sash windows restored properly typically run 12+ years before next overhaul
- Masonry systems matched to substrate breathability — no trapped moisture
- Written paint specification left for future touch-ups and recoats
Common questions.
Do you handle scaffolding?+
Yes. We arrange and manage scaffolding as part of the project where required.
What's the best time of year for exterior painting?+
April through October typically gives the best window. We monitor conditions daily and never paint in unsuitable weather.

Yes. We carry out splicing, full timber replacement and pre-paint joinery as part of the project.
