Exterior painting in Tipton: render, masonry, soffits, fascias and front doors. Prepared properly, painted to last, fixed price.
Cracks cut out and filled, loose material removed, stabilising primer where needed, then two full coats.
Near the cut there is usually a reason a wall is failing low down. We find it before covering it up.
The parts that fail first because nobody looks at them. Cleaned, prepared and painted.
We do not paint onto damp or into a bad forecast. Two days waiting beats doing it twice.
Brushed down, hollow patches and loose stones checked, then worked in properly so the shadow side of every stone is covered, not just the face you see from the road.
The tall side wall of a semi is the part a tower often cannot reach safely. Whether it needs a scaffold is settled before the job, not on the morning.
Canal-side property in Tipton takes more weather than most, and rendered frontages here fail from the bottom up where damp has been sitting. Painting over that buys a season. Cutting it out first buys ten years.
Away from the canal, the post-war estates around Princes End and Tipton Green are largely pebbledash rather than smooth render. Pebbledash takes far more paint and far more time than a flat wall, because every stone has a shadow side, and it hides cracks until the paint is on and they suddenly show.

April to September. Masonry paint needs the wall dry and above about eight degrees, and a Tipton autumn gives you neither reliably.
Not honestly. Low-level failure on the canal-side properties usually means damp getting in, and paint over it lasts a season. We find the cause first and tell you what it needs.
On properly prepared render, ten years is normal. On a wall painted over loose material, two. The difference is the preparation.
Yes, and it takes paint well once it is sound. The checks come first: tap for hollow patches, look for cracks hiding between the stones, and wash off the green algae on the shaded side. Paint over a loose patch and it comes away in a sheet the first winter.
It turns on three things: how much render has to be cut out and repaired near the ground, whether the walls are smooth or pebbledash, and whether the gable end needs a scaffold. Send a photo of each side on WhatsApp and the price is worked out from what is actually there.
The front and back of a two-storey semi can usually be done from a tower. The gable end is the one that sometimes cannot, especially over a narrow side passage or a sloping path, and that is checked before the work is booked.
