Exterior Painting Services in Swansea

Most house exteriors take 5-10 days. This depends on size, condition, and weather. We work efficiently while ensuring proper drying time between coats. 

Larger properties or those needing significant repairs take longer.

Every property is different. Costs vary based on size, condition, surface type, and access. 

A typical three-bedroom semi needs different prep than a Victorian terrace with decorative features. 

Coastal properties need extra preparation work. Premium paint systems last longer, making them better value long-term.

May to September offers the most reliable weather. We need dry conditions above 10°C for water-based paints to cure properly. 

We watch forecasts closely and pause work if rain's coming. Some smaller projects work in spring or early autumn during settled spells.

We keep a close eye on the weather forecast and make flexible plans.

If rain's forecast within a few hours, we won't start painting that day. If unexpected rain arrives, we stop immediately and protect any wet paint. 

Fresh paint washes off or marks if it gets wet before it's set. Projects might take slightly longer in our climate. We never risk quality by painting in poor conditions.

Standard masonry paint lasts 5-7 years.

Premium coastal paints last 10-15 years. 

Properties within 5 miles of the coast face severe salt damage. Standard paint can fail in under 12 months on fully exposed locations like Mumbles seafront without marine-grade protection. 

Sheltered properties last longer. Quality breathable and marine-grade paints extend the lifespan significantly.

Most of the time, you don't need special permission to paint your house in Swansea. 

Here are some exceptions:

- If your home is listed (common in the Marina, Uplands, and Mumbles)

- If it's in a conservation area (like parts of Mumbles or the Maritime Quarter)

- If previous planning rules limit what colors you can use

In conservation areas, it's good to pick colours that match nearby houses. Homes in the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty might have extra rules.

We know the local rules and can help you follow them while still getting the look you want.

Before our team arrives to paint your Swansea home, we recommend:

Trim back bushes, plants, and tree branches that touch your walls. Move garden furniture, toys, and vehicles away from the house.

Secure loose window hardware and fix any obvious wood rot. Tell your neighbors about the upcoming work.

Make sure we can use your outdoor power outlets. Take down anything hanging on your outside walls.

As professional Swansea painters, we will handle all the washing, sanding, and technical prep work. This ensures a perfect finish that can stand up to our Welsh coastal weather.

We can suggest colours that look good with Swansea's natural landscape. If you have a Victorian or Edwardian property, we can advise on period-appropriate colours.

Living in Swansea means dealing with salty air, lots of rain, and changing temperatures. Our local know-how includes:

Using marine-grade paints for homes near Swansea Bay. We apply special UV-resistant paints for walls that face south.

We install proper moisture barriers and use primers made for Swansea's climate. We plan painting days based on local weather forecasts.

We put extra protective coats on walls that face the weather. We can suggest how often you should maintain your property based on its location.

Yes! Good preparation is key to our Swansea painting service:

We power wash all surfaces to remove salt, moss, and dirt. We treat any mold or algae, which is common in Swansea's damp climate.

We allow enough time for surfaces to dry, considering local humidity. We hand-scrape loose material and sand down rough edges.

We apply the right primers for Swansea's seaside environment. We never rush preparation work. This careful approach ensures your paint job lasts for years, even with Swansea's challenging weather.

Yes, we offer complete paint removal services:

We first check the condition of existing paint all over your property. For stubborn areas, we use heat guns to loosen paint.

We use professional sanders with dust collection systems. For detailed areas on Victorian Swansea homes, we use chemical strippers.

We test for lead paint in older homes and remove it safely. We clean up and dispose of all stripped materials properly.

Our thorough approach ensures new paint sticks properly and creates a long-lasting finish for your Swansea home.

We only use top-quality weatherproof and anti-mould paints for all Swansea exterior projects:
