Exterior decorating for Broughton Astley homes, combining suitable preparation, localised repairs where appropriate and carefully selected coatings for masonry, doors, frames and other timber.
If your exterior has peeling paint, weathered joinery or isolated areas of damage, those details need consideration before a new finish is applied. I assess the existing coatings and the underlying surfaces so the quotation reflects the preparation involved.
I provide exterior painting in Broughton Astley from my base in Earl Shilton. My wider decorating work in the village includes projects around Knighton Close, Dunton Road and Old Mill Road.
For other services at the same property, see my Broughton Astley decorating page.
Frames, doors and fascia boards are not always in the same condition, even on one elevation. Some sections may need routine sanding and repainting, while others have exposed timber or coatings that have lost their grip.
I prepare each area accordingly, removing loose material and using suitable primers and finishing products. The scope can include windows, doors, fascias, soffits and other exterior joinery where appropriate.
Where timber has deteriorated in a limited area, a repair may be possible before decorating. I use systems such as Repair Care and Timbabuild where they are suitable for the timber and extent of the defect.
This is assessed rather than assumed. If the damage is too extensive or the cause needs addressing first, I explain what that means for the project. Repainting alone is not treated as a repair for unsound timber.
Suitable exterior walls can be cleaned, prepared and repainted using a compatible masonry coating. I check the existing surface for loose material, failing paint and appropriate minor defects before specifying the work.
The chosen system depends on the substrate and previous finish. Any signs that further investigation or repair is needed are discussed before painting proceeds.
Preparation can include scraping, sanding, filling cracks and surface defects, preparing exposed or failed timber, sealing or stabilising problem surfaces, and applying suitable primers and undercoats. Adjoining surfaces are protected before decorating.
High sections and awkwardly positioned surfaces need suitable access for both preparation and painting. I assess this at the quotation stage rather than leaving it until the work starts.
Where scaffolding or a tower is required, I can help organise it. The quotation identifies any additional access cost unless it is expressly included. Work is also scheduled around suitable weather and product drying requirements.
