Exterior painting in Bath
Exterior paint has a job to do as well as looking good. We wash down, scrape back loose paint, fill and repair before applying masonry paint or timber coatings suited to each surface. Work is planned around the weather so every coat goes on in the right conditions.

How it works
From first call to a job done properly
No jargon and no surprises. Here's exactly what happens when you get in touch.
Visit & written quote
We look at the rooms or the outside of your home, check the condition of every surface and agree colours and finishes. You get a written quote that lists the preparation and coats.
Protect
Furniture is moved and covered, floors are sheeted, and fittings, sockets and edges are masked before any sanding starts.
Prepare
Cracks filled, surfaces sanded and cleaned, stains blocked and bare areas primed. This is the step that makes the finish last.
Paint, check & hand over
Clean cut-in lines and even coats, then a careful check for touch-ups. We tidy away and walk round with you before we leave.

FAQs
Exterior painting: your questions answered
How often should exterior paintwork be redone?
It depends on exposure, the surface and how well it was prepared last time. Many homes need attention every five to ten years, and south-facing timber often needs it sooner.
When is the best time for exterior painting?
Late spring to early autumn is usually best. Paint needs dry surfaces and mild temperatures to cure properly, so rain, frost and damp mornings are best avoided.
Will I need scaffolding?
It depends on the height and layout of the house. Many two-storey homes can be done from ladders or towers, while taller or awkward buildings may need scaffolding. Your quote will explain what's needed.
