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.

In relation to what Daniel can do, this was a small job, but we were very grateful that he was happy to take it on and help us out. He was really receptive to text messages, was very accommodating when we had to change the original work date, and was keen to get back to us as soon as the counters were re-fitted, so we had a working kitchen again. Really lovely chap, and we'd happily have him back for any other work we may need. Highly recommend him.
