Our Exterior Painting Process

1. Free Property Survey & Quote:  Contact us to arrange a free site visit. We'll assess your property's condition, discuss your colour preferences and requirements, identify any repairs needed, explain the painting process and timeline, and provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation with no hidden costs.
2. Colour Selection & Planning:  Choosing exterior colours is important as they'll define your property for years to come. We offer professional colour consultation, sample pots to test on your walls, advice on colours that suit your property type, guidance on planning permission if needed for listed buildings, and recommendations for complementary colours for doors and woodwork.
3. Thorough Surface Preparation:  Before any painting begins, we complete comprehensive preparation including power washing all surfaces, scraping loose and flaking paint, sanding rough areas, treating and repairing rotten timber, filling cracks in rendering and masonry, treating bare wood with preservative, applying knotting solution to resinous areas, and priming all bare surfaces appropriately.
This preparation phase typically takes 30-50% of the total project time but is essential for long-lasting results.
4. Weather Monitoring & Scheduling:  Exterior painting requires suitable weather conditions. We carefully monitor weather forecasts and only paint when conditions are appropriate including temperatures above 10°C, no rain forecast for 24 hours, low humidity levels, light winds, and dry surfaces. This ensures paint cures properly and provides maximum protection.
5. Protection & Safety Setup:  Before painting, we protect your property and garden by covering plants, shrubs, and garden features, protecting windows and doors with masking, laying protective sheeting for paths and driveways, erecting scaffolding or ladder systems safely, and covering outdoor furniture and vehicles.
6. Professional Painting Application:  Using professional equipment and techniques, we apply primer/undercoat to all prepared surfaces, allow adequate drying time between coats, apply first topcoat with complete coverage, inspect for any missed areas or imperfections, apply final topcoat for perfect finish, and cut in carefully around windows and doors. We use professional-grade brushes, rollers, and spray equipment to achieve smooth, even coverage.
7. Final Inspection & Cleanup:  Once painting is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection with you, remove all protective coverings and masking, clean up any paint splashes or drips, dispose of all waste responsibly, remove scaffolding and equipment, and leave your property spotless. We only consider the job complete when you're completely satisfied.

Why Professional Exterior Painting Beats DIY

Safety Considerations

Exterior painting often involves working at height. Professional decorators have proper scaffolding and safety equipment, insurance for working at height, training in safe working practices, and experience working on various property types. DIY exterior painting can be dangerous without proper equipment and training.

Superior Results

Professionals achieve better results through proper surface preparation, knowledge of compatible primers and paints, experience with different surface types, professional-grade equipment, and techniques developed over years. DIY jobs often show brush marks, uneven coverage, and premature failure.

Time and Efficiency

What might take weeks of your weekends, professionals complete in days. We work efficiently with experienced teams, have all necessary equipment readily available, can work regardless of your personal schedule, and complete projects before weather changes.

Long-Term Value

Professional exterior painting provides better value through longer-lasting results (5-10 years vs 2-4 years), proper protection against weather damage, fewer repairs needed, higher quality appearance, and increased property value. The cost difference between DIY and professional work is quickly recovered through longevity.

Exterior Painting FAQs for Dewsbury Homeowners

How much does exterior painting cost in Dewsbury?

Exterior painting costs depend on property size, number of stories, condition of existing paintwork, amount of preparation needed, type of surfaces being painted, and access requirements.

How long does exterior painting take?

Project timescales vary based on property size and weather conditions. A typical terraced house takes 5-7 days, a semi-detached house 7-10 days, and a detached house 10-14 days. These timescales include preparation, allowing for drying time, and applying multiple coats. Weather delays may extend these timescales.

What time of year is best for exterior painting?

The best time for exterior painting in Dewsbury is late spring through early autumn (April to September) when temperatures are consistently above 10°C, there's less rain, and longer daylight hours allow more working time. However, we can work year-round during suitable weather windows.

How long will exterior paint last?

With proper preparation and quality paints, exterior paintwork lasts 5-10 years on masonry and rendering, 4-7 years on external timber, and 8-12 years on uPVC when painted professionally. Lifespan depends on exposure to weather, surface type and preparation quality, paint quality used, and regular maintenance.

Do I need planning permission to paint my house?

Most houses don't require planning permission for exterior painting. However, you may need permission for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or if changing from natural stone to painted finish. We can advise on whether permission is needed for your property.

Can you paint over existing paint?

Yes, if the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. We'll assess the condition during our site visit. If old paint is flaking, peeling, or failing, we'll remove it completely before repainting. Painting over failing paint will only lead to problems within months.

What about painting in winter?

We can paint exteriors in winter when weather conditions allow. We need dry weather, temperatures above 10°C, and no rain forecast. Winter projects may take longer due to shorter days and weather delays, but we'll keep you informed throughout.

Do you offer guarantees on exterior painting?

Yes, we provide guarantees on workmanship. The length depends on the surfaces painted and products used. We'll discuss guarantees during your quotation. We only use premium paints that manufacturers stand behind with their own warranties.

Will you repair damaged wood before painting?

Yes, we repair rotten or damaged timber as part of our service. This includes cutting out rot, treating with preservative, filling with wood filler or replacing sections, and ensuring all timber is sound before painting. Repairs are included in your quotation.

How do you protect my garden and property?

We take extensive protection measures including covering plants and shrubs with sheeting, protecting patios and driveways, masking windows and doors, covering garden furniture, and ensuring no paint overspray affects your property or neighbours. We treat your property with the same care as our own.
