Our exterior painting & decorating services
Exterior walls and masonry
We paint brickwork, blockwork, render, pebbledash and roughcast using high quality masonry paints. Where needed, we use breathable or weather resistant systems that protect the structure while allowing moisture to escape naturally.
Windows, doors and external woodwork
Timber windows, fascias, soffits and doors are sanded, repaired and painted using exterior systems designed to flex with temperature changes and resist peeling.
Metalwork and exterior details
Railings, balconies, gutters and downpipes are prepared correctly and coated with suitable metal primers and finishes to prevent corrosion and flaking.
Specialist finishes
We offer colour matching to existing coatings, sympathetic finishes for older or character properties, and solutions suited to coastal or high exposure locations around Plymouth.
1. Survey and advice
We carry out a free site visit to assess the condition of surfaces, previous coatings and access requirements, then recommend the most suitable paint system.
2. Cleaning and preparation
Surfaces are cleaned thoroughly. Loose or flaking paint is removed, biocide treatments are applied where required and minor repairs are carried out.
3. Priming and protection
Substrate specific primers are applied, and surrounding areas such as paths, plants and neighbouring property are carefully protected.
4. Application
Paint is applied by brush, roller or spray depending on the surface, usually in two or more coats to ensure even coverage and durability.
5. Quality check and handover
We complete a final inspection, address any small snags and provide guidance on care and maintenance.
Exterior Painting & Decorating FAQs
Exterior painting plays a vital role in protecting your property while improving its appearance. Below are answers to common questions from homeowners and businesses in Plymouth considering professional exterior painting and decorating services.
Exterior painting is best carried out during milder, drier months when temperatures allow paint to cure properly. We advise on suitable timing during your survey.

We paint a wide range of exterior surfaces including brickwork, render, pebbledash, timber, metalwork, fascias, soffits, doors and window frames. Each surface is prepared and painted using the correct products.
Exterior surfaces require weather-resistant paints designed to cope with rain, wind and UV exposure. We use high-quality exterior paints chosen to suit each surface and local weather conditions.
Preparation includes cleaning, removing loose paint, repairing cracks or damaged areas, sanding and priming where required. Proper preparation is essential for a durable, long-lasting finish.
Timescales vary depending on the size of the property, surface condition and weather. After a free site survey, we provide a clear schedule so you know what to expect.
Costs depend on property size, access requirements, surface condition and paint choice. We offer free surveys and detailed quotes so you have a clear understanding of pricing before work begins.
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the required areas, exterior work can often be completed while you are away, with clear communication throughout the project.
