Weatherproof Exterior Painting Services
We provide complete outdoor house painting across Mumbles and SA3.
From Victorian terraces to modern homes on Newton Road, we protect everything from masonry walls to decorative woodwork with marine-grade coatings built for coastal conditions.
External Walls & Masonry
We specialise in masonry painting for rendered walls, brick, and stone. Our breathable paint systems prevent moisture damage in older properties - essential for Mumbles' pre-1919 solid-wall homes.
We use salt-resistant coatings that stand up to coastal air. For properties in the Mumbles Conservation Area (designated 1969), we work within planning guidelines whilst keeping your walls properly protected.
Doors, Windows & Woodwork
From original sash windows to Victorian front doors, we protect all your exterior woodwork. Our flexible coatings move with the timber as it expands and contracts with humidity in our area.
For south-facing properties that take heavy UV exposure, we use systems that resist fading and chalking.
Fascias, Soffits & Railings
We treat fascias, soffits, and metal railings with rust-prevention primers and marine-grade topcoats. Crucial for properties near the Bristol Channel.
This includes careful prep of Victorian ironwork and cast-iron gutters. Proper preparation means longer-lasting protection against salt air corrosion.
Gable Ends & Exposed Elevations
Properties on Mumbles Hill and west-facing elevations need extra attention. They take the worst of the prevailing South-Westerlies.
We use high-build, elastomeric paint systems that bridge hairline cracks and create a waterproof barrier. Maximum protection where your home needs it most.
Painting Homes in the Mumbles Conservation Area
If your property sits within the Mumbles Conservation Area, you'll need to follow Article 4 direction rules. Changing paint colours can require council approval for street-facing walls.
The Conservation Area was designated in 1969 and expanded in February 2021. Many homeowners on streets like Castle Avenue, Overland Road, and Thistleboon Road don't realise they now need permission for exterior colour changes.
Understanding Conservation Requirements
The Conservation Area covers 7 distinct Character Areas. These range from Victorian terraces south of Newton Road to the villas on the hill.
We're experienced with Swansea Council's planning requirements. We'll help you check your property against the 2021 Boundary Map before we start. No nasty surprises from the council halfway through the job.
Heritage Colour Painting
We work with approved heritage palettes that suit local limestone and slate roofs. Our mineral-based paints provide the flat, matte finish conservation officers require.
We specialise in restoring smooth stucco and lime-based renders typical of 19th-century Mumbles properties. Repairs match the original texture. Your home stays compliant whilst preserving the village's historic character.

Mumbles Exterior Painting FAQs
How do you stop paint peeling on homes near the Mumbles seafront?
We use specialist marine-grade and flexible masonry paints designed to withstand salt spray and high coastal humidity.
Standard exterior paint can crack and flake quickly in SA3 due to the salty air from Swansea Bay.
We prepare surfaces by washing down salt deposits first and using breathable systems that flex with the weather, ensuring your home stays protected even in winter storms.
What happens if the weather turns bad during my exterior job?
We monitor local Mumbles forecasts daily and build "weather days" into our schedule so we never rush a job in poor conditions.
Living on the edge of the Gower, we know how quickly the weather turns. If it rains, we simply pause exterior work and return when it's dry enough for the paint to cure properly.
We won't risk your finish just to get the job "done" quickly.
My house has pebble dash—can it be painted?
Absolutely. Painting pebble dash is one of the most effective ways to transform the look of homes in West Cross and Mayals.
We use a thick-coat masonry system and deep-pile rollers (or spray application for larger areas) to ensure the paint gets into every crevice of the roughcast.
This not only looks smarter but seals the surface against driving rain, which is common on these exposed hillsides.
I live in a top-floor flat—can you still paint my exterior?
Yes, we can arrange all necessary access equipment, including scaffolding towers or cherry pickers, to reach upper floors safely.
Whether you're in a seafront apartment block in Rotherslade or a three-storey townhouse in the village, we manage the entire access process.
We also ensure all scaffolding complies with safety regulations and minimises disruption to your neighbours.
Are your quotes free and itemised?
Yes, all quotes are free with no obligation. We'll visit your property, talk through what you're after, and provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
