Local exterior wall painting experts
What is exterior wall painting?
Exterior wall painting involves applying paint to the outside walls of a building to protect and enhance its appearance. This process not only improves the aesthetic appeal of your home but also provides a protective barrier against the elements, preventing damage from weather, moisture, and UV rays. Professional exterior wall painting can transform the look of your property, increasing its curb appeal and value.
Cost of outside wall painting
The cost of painting an external wall varies based on several factors, including the size of the area, the type of paint used, and the condition of the walls. Here’s a breakdown of typical costs:
Average Cost Estimates
- Small Projects: For smaller areas or touch-ups, costs can range from £500 to £1,000.
- Medium Projects: Painting the exterior of an average-sized home typically costs between £1,000 and £3,000.
- Large Projects: Larger homes or extensive painting projects can range from £3,000 to £5,000 or more.
Factors Affecting Cost
- Surface Condition: Walls in good condition require less preparation, reducing costs.
- Type of Paint: Higher quality paints or those with special properties (e.g., weather resistance) can increase costs.
- Labour Rates: Costs vary based on the expertise of the painters and regional labour rates.
Getting Accurate Quotes
To get the most accurate estimate for your exterior wall painting project:
- Consult Multiple Painters: Obtain detailed quotes from several exterior wall painting experts near you to compare prices and services.
- Specify Your Requirements: Clearly outline your project needs, including colour preferences and any specific preparations.
- Check Reviews: Use Rated People to review feedback from previous customers to ensure you’re choosing a reliable expert.
How do you prepare external walls for painting?
Proper preparation is crucial for a long-lasting and high-quality paint job. Here are the steps typically involved:
- Cleaning: Remove dirt, grime, and loose paint using a pressure washer or scrub brush.
- Repairs: Fix any cracks, holes, or damaged areas with appropriate fillers and sealants.
- Sanding: Smooth out rough areas and create a suitable surface for the paint to adhere to.
- Priming: Apply an undercoat or primer to ensure better paint adhesion and durability, especially on porous or repaired surfaces.
- Protection: Cover windows, doors, and other areas not to be painted with tape and drop cloths to protect them from paint splatters.
Other exterior painting FAQs
Do you need an undercoat for exterior walls?
Yes, applying an undercoat or primer is recommended for exterior walls to improve paint adhesion, ensure even coverage, and enhance the durability of the finish.
Can you paint over old exterior paint?
Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint, but it’s important to clean the surface and repair any damage first. Sanding and priming may also be necessary to ensure a smooth and lasting finish.
What type of paint is best for outside walls?
The best paint for outside walls is typically weather-resistant, UV-resistant, and formulated to withstand the elements. Acrylic latex paints are commonly recommended for their durability and flexibility.

Anton did a great emergency call out job on some pipe work. I called him on Monday late afternoon, and he was able to come and see the work that needed to be done within the hour, he was then able to start work the following day, working around the roofers we had on site too. As I wasnt onsite when he did the inspection he sent me a video of the work that he was going to do, which was great! I would definitely recommend him, and will be getting a quote for some other jobs that need doing. Thanks Anton

After a week or so of back and forth as they kept cancelling, they sent 2 young lads who had 0 to little experience. Most of the work will need redone. They created alot of mess and had to use my ladders for some of the work which was not very professional and took 2 days for a few hrs of work as they couldn't do it. Their manager was very apologetic but still charged £500 for the "work" Terrible experience.
Are your interiors starting to look weary and less than perfect? Instead of an expensive redecoration project, painting is the most cost-efficient way to add a new lease of life to your property. A MESSAGE FROM OUR PAINTER I’m Kimon, originally from Greece where I mastered the art of painting and decorating. With over 25 years of experience as a professional painter/decorator, I am very passionate about achieving perfect results that create a smooth finish and wonderful interiors. I recently moved to England to be closer to my sons, and over the last few months, I have painted for friends and family, always delivering great results. My sons decided to start Flawless Home Painting, a small family company so their father can keep doing what he loves best. I hope you can see that I am an honest and hardworking person with professional integrity. I take pride in what I do and in making sure all my customers are delighted by the results I produce. Whether you want me to repaint an entire home or focus on a single room, I can create an effective transformation that will certainly impress. I’m precise and patient, never rushing through yet always completing the job when I say it will get done. I’m a good judge of spaces and can also offer advice on the right finish to suit the walls and complement your décor. I treat customers with a friendly, helpful attitude while getting the job done to the highest standards. My rates are fairly priced and customers that book during the off-peak season could get a 10%-30% discount. I also offer free estimates on every job. If you value perfection and exceptional attention, please get in touch for a chat about your needs. Thanks you and I welcome the opportunity of painting your space.
I do agree with feedback reviewed by Jeff 24 April "NO FILLING NO SANDING JUST PAINTING AND NO CUTTING IN, VERY POOR SKILL LEVEL NO ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS SHORTCOMINGS CRACKS APPEARING AFTER 4 WEEKS...........VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP VERY DISAPPOINTING AND £4K COST SO I FEEL RIPPED OFF AND HAVE SPENT 4 WEEKS RECTIFYING" Moreover, I sent an email to the painter about the flaws he has left behind and you don't hear anything from him. I am in the state of regret to hire him for interior painting including woods.
I am a sole trader, I have been fitting windows, doors, conservatories and doing general building work for the past 25 years. I am Certass and Q.A.N.W registered. All UPVC installations are covered by a ten year warranty. Only quality products used.
Obviously the previous cost of £75 I paid in May shall be deducted from the new bill. If the quality of your work is satisfactory, then I' ll consider a withdrawal of my previous rating and give you a reasonable customer review. Thanks Jun
