Do you scrape and sand before painting the outside?

Yes. Flaking paint is scraped back and edges are sanded so the new coats sit flat and bond well. Skipping this is the main reason exterior paint fails early.

Can you paint render and weatherboard on the same house?

Yes. Many homes mix materials, and each surface gets its own preparation and compatible primer while keeping a consistent colour scheme.

Do I need to be home during an exterior repaint?

Not necessarily. We just need access to the outside of the property, water and power. We keep you updated on progress each day.

Will you look after my garden while painting outside?

We cover garden beds and paths near the work area and take care moving around plants. Let us know about anything particularly delicate during the quote.

How do I know if my exterior needs repainting?

Common signs are chalky residue when you rub the wall, peeling around windows, faded colour and bare timber showing. We can assess it during a free on-site visit.

Surfaces we work on

Weatherboard

Timber boards move with the seasons. Loose paint is scraped back, gaps are filled and bare timber is primed before topcoats.

Render and masonry

Rendered walls are washed, hairline cracks are filled with a flexible filler, and a masonry-suited system is applied.

Eaves, fascias and gutters

These are often the first areas to fade or peel. Metal gutters and downpipes need cleaning and the right primer before painting.

Paint and coating system

A typical exterior system is primer on any bare or repaired areas followed by two coats of a quality exterior acrylic. Lighter colours tend to hold up better in strong sun, while dark colours can increase heat on some surfaces.

We match the product to the surface: timber, render, fibre cement and metal each need a compatible primer. We will explain the system in your written scope.

FAQ

Exterior Painting questions

Mild, dry periods are ideal, typically spring through autumn. We avoid painting in rain, very high heat or when dew will settle before the paint dries.
