Protecting the building as well as improving it.
Exterior paintwork is exposed to weather, movement and moisture, so preparation matters. Loose or failing coatings are addressed, defects are repaired as appropriate, surfaces are sanded and primed, and the finish system is applied with close attention to vulnerable edges and details.
Exterior decorating includes
- Masonry and rendered elevations
- Timber windows and sash windows
- Doors, frames, fascias and trims
- Bay windows and architectural joinery
- Previously painted brickwork where appropriate
- Preparation and local repairs before coating
We undertake residential and commercial exterior work across East Dulwich, South London and Central London.
Planning exterior decoration.
A useful exterior quote starts with photographs of each elevation, an outline of the surfaces to be painted and any known defects. Access, the condition of the existing coating and exposure to weather all affect the preparation and sequence of work.
We discuss any scaffolding or other access requirements before the job. Painting is planned around conditions suitable for the chosen coating, including drying time. If a leak, unstable surface or substantial timber defect needs other repair work, it should be addressed before decoration.
Masonry and timber in one scheme
Exterior walls and sash windows, doors and timber details can be included together. We select preparation and coating systems appropriate to each surface rather than assume one product suits the whole building.
Our project gallery includes completed house exteriors, bay windows and preparation details. We welcome residential enquiries across East Dulwich and South London, along with commercial exterior projects throughout South and Central London.
