Interior Wall Painting Services in Swansea
Professional interior wall painting transforms your home.
Different wall types need different treatments, and proper preparation makes the difference between finishes that last and paint that peels.
Plaster Wall Painting
Beautiful plaster walls give your home that crisp, professional finish that makes every room feel complete.
Older homes (built before 1950) use lime plaster. This traditional material needs breathable paints that let moisture escape.
Victorian terraces in Uplands often have lime plaster walls and need lime-based coatings.
Newer properties (post-war onwards) have gypsum plaster. This requires different primers and paint systems. You'll find gypsum throughout Morriston's post-war homes.
Our plaster painter service covers both types, ensuring the right treatment for your property's age and construction.
Drywall and Plasterboard Wall Painting
Most post-war homes use plasterboard walls. This replaced traditional plaster from the 1960s onwards.
You'll find drywall throughout Killay semis, Fforestfach properties, and modern homes across the city.
Drywall painting is quicker than older wall types. The surface is already smooth, so there's less prep work and faster completion times.
Whether you're updating a 1970s semi in Killay or a modern apartment, we deliver a quality finish you can enjoy straight away.
Artex and Textured Wall & Ceiling Painting
Textured walls and ceilings were popular in local homes from the 1960s to 1990s.
You'll find them throughout Cockett and Townhill properties. Today, they can make rooms feel outdated.
Painting over Artex saves hundreds on removal and instantly modernizes your interior. We use sealing primers that lock the texture safely in place, then apply coatings that soften the pattern.
The result? A cleaner, brighter space without the expense, disruption, or mess of removal.
Wallpapered Wall Painting in Swansea
In older homes — especially in Ffynone and Brynmill — removing wallpaper can damage fragile lime plaster beneath.
This is particularly true in Victorian and Edwardian properties built before 1950.
Painting over stable wallpaper protects delicate period walls while giving you a fresh look. We test the wallpaper first to confirm it's suitable, then seal the surface properly.
Our wall painting company has worked on dozens of period homes across these areas. We'll assess your walls and recommend the best approach.
Exposed Brick Wall Painting
You'll find exposed brick in Victorian terraces across Morriston and central Swansea.
Coastal properties and Gower holiday cottages often feature it too.
Modern conversions, like Swansea Marina apartments, use it as a design statement.
Brick painting preserves the texture while sealing the porous surface.
The brick's detail stays visible, but you gain a cleaner, more intentional finish.
No more brick dust, and it's easier to wipe clean.
Stone Wall Painting in Swansea
Interior stone walls are popular in cottages across the Gower Peninsula and conservation areas.
These traditional surfaces need breathable coatings that let moisture escape naturally to prevent damp.
Modern concrete or render walls are different — they're less porous and can take standard paint systems. We identify your wall type first to choose the right approach.
Whether it's a traditional Gower cottage interior or a feature wall, we protect heritage character while giving you a clean, updated finish.

Exterior Wall Painting Services in Swansea
Our coastal weather puts constant pressure on exterior walls. Salt air, rain, and humidity can ruin the wrong paint within months.
Pebbledash, cement render, brick, lime render, stone, and timber cladding all need different paint systems.
Modern masonry reacts differently to Wales' weather than historic renders or timber. We match the right system to your exact wall type to protect your investment and keep your home looking fresh for years.
Pebbledash Wall Painting in Swansea
Pebbledash is one of the most common finishes across Swansea's coastal and suburban homes.
It protects walls from wind, rain, and salt spray — but over time, it looks tired and dated.
Painting pebbledash changes your exterior completely. Refresh that dull beige finish and modernize your home's look for a fraction of removal costs.
Pebbledash needs long-pile rollers and breathable masonry paints designed for its rough texture. The breathable system is critical — pebbledash's surface traps salt and moisture from sea air.
Standard paints seal this in and cause peeling. Breathable coatings let moisture escape while keeping rain out, so your walls stay clean and protected on exposed properties.
Cement Render Wall Painting
Cement render is the standard finish on post-war semis and detached homes across Morriston, Sketty, and Killay.
Built from the 1950s onwards, these properties use cement render as a protective barrier.
Cement render is rigid and less breathable than lime. Our wet winters and dry summers cause constant expansion and contraction, creating hairline cracks that let water in.
We use flexible masonry paints that move with the surface as temperatures change. Rigid paint cracks and fails. Flexible paint moves, stays intact, and keeps water out.
Fresh paint transforms tired grey render instantly. Choose a modern colour to lift your home's entire street presence.
Lime Render Wall Painting
Lime render is the original finish on Swansea's Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cottages.
These traditional Welsh properties use lime because it works with the solid stone construction beneath.
Lime is designed to absorb and release moisture. This natural cycle keeps stone walls dry and prevents damp. It's how these buildings have survived for over a century without modern damp-proofing.
The critical issue: Plastic and cement-based paints seal the surface completely. Trapped moisture causes bubbling, cracking, and eventually the render pulls away from the wall.
We've seen lime render destroyed within 3–5 years by the wrong coating.
We use only mineral and silicate paints. These specialist paints stay vapour-permeable, letting lime breathe naturally.
We recently repainted a 19th-century terrace in Uplands using silicate paint — it looks crisp and fresh while the lime beneath stays healthy.
This approach preserves heritage character and protects the structure for decades.
Brick Wall Painting in Swansea
Brickwork is a defining feature of local Victorian and Edwardian terraces. You'll see it along Alexandra Road, Overland Road, and Mumbles seafront.
Many homes use local sandstone with brick detailing around windows, doors, and chimneys.
Painting brick can completely refresh a façade. But it's permanent and demands careful preparation.
We only paint dry brick surfaces with moisture levels below 20%. Bare brick is first primed with an alkali-resistant sealer to stop white salt deposits (efflorescence) from bleeding through the finish.
For listed and conservation properties, we provide heritage-safe treatments. This lets Swansea homeowners modernise without losing their home's original charm.
Stone Wall Painting
Stone walls are a hallmark of Gower and coastal Swansea homes.
You'll see them in Rhossili, Llanrhidian, and Parkmill, where traditional cottages and farmhouses feature solid stone construction. These walls define the region's architectural character.
Stone is porous and softer than brick. We use highly breathable mineral or silicate paints that allow moisture to escape naturally. Unsuitable coatings trap damp inside, causing spalling (surface flaking) that damages stone permanently.
We repair mortar joints with lime — never cement, which is too rigid for soft stone. For listed and conservation properties, our breathable systems meet heritage standards while standing up to coastal weather.
Timber & Wood Cladding Wall Painting in Swansea
Timber cladding adds warmth and style to modern homes across the area. You'll see it on contemporary barn conversions in Gower and eco-conscious builds throughout the area. Welsh Larch and other local timbers are popular choices.
We use flexible, breathable coatings with UV and water resistance. Wood expands and contracts naturally — rigid paint will crack and let water in.
Properties in conservation areas like Uplands and Ffynone may need planning permission before exterior painting. We understand local planning requirements and guide you through the process.
Our Wall Painting Process
Every surface gets the treatment it needs. Here's how we ensure lasting results:
1. Surface Assessment
We identify your exact wall type and test for moisture, stability, and compatibility. Different materials need different approaches.
2. Thorough Preparation
We clean surfaces to remove dirt, algae, and loose material. We repair cracks, fill joints, and stabilise chalky or porous surfaces. For unpainted render, we apply stabilising primers. For bare brick, we use alkali-resistant sealers.
3. Right Materials for the Job
We match primers, paints, and application methods to your wall type — whether it's breathable systems for historic lime, flexible coatings for cement render, or specialist treatments for timber.
4. Professional Application
We apply coatings in the correct number of layers, using the right tools for each surface texture. Each layer dries fully before the next for optimal adhesion and finish.
5. Clean Finish
We protect your property throughout and leave everything spotless when we're done.
