FAQ's
How do you prepare exterior elevations before coating?
We safely access elevations, wash down to remove dirt/algae, scrape loose/flaking paint, carry out substrate repairs (fill, splice, patch), sand, spot-prime bare or friable areas and seal end grain/exposed timber. This stabilises surfaces for durable adhesion in Cookridge.
What affects exterior painting duration?
Scope (number of elevations), access (scaffolds/towers), substrate condition (repairs, decay, weathered masonry), system type (number of coats) and weather windows. Typical detached elevation repaint: 4–7 working days allowing for prep, coating and cure windows.
How do weather conditions impact scheduling?
We monitor temperature, humidity and rainfall. Coatings are applied within manufacturer ranges; high moisture or low temperatures can extend cure times. Flexible sequencing (prep first, coating in optimal windows) keeps progress efficient.
Which exterior coating systems do you use?
Specified breathable, weather‑resistant systems: microporous wood coatings, acrylic/silicone masonry paints, stabilising primers and end‑grain sealers. Selection considers substrate, exposure (UV/rain) and longevity targets with BS EN 1062 performance guidance.
How is safe access managed?
We plan towers/scaffolds, check tie‑ins, maintain tidy platforms, protect adjacent areas (glazing, paths, plants) and brief on daily site start/close routines. This reduces disruption and supports consistent workmanship.
What maintenance keeps the finish lasting?
Annual gentle wash (low‑pressure rinse, soft brush), inspect sealants, look for early flaking or algae, clear vegetation touching paint film and re‑coat high‑exposure elements before failure. We provide a simple care schedule at handover.
