Masonry Painting in Cambridge
Exterior wall coatings that protect and refresh your home.
Painting the outside of a house does more than smarten it up: a good masonry coating sheds rain, resists the weather and protects the render and brickwork beneath. Preparation is everything, cleaning down, filling cracks and stabilising the surface, so the coating bonds and lasts rather than peeling within a couple of winters.
We carry out masonry painting across Cambridge and the nearby towns, preparing exterior walls thoroughly and applying durable coatings that refresh the appearance of a home while protecting it. Windows, paths and planting are masked and protected throughout.

Masonry Painting: your questions answered
How long does masonry paint last?
With proper preparation and a quality coating, exterior masonry paint can last many years before it needs refreshing.
Can you paint pebbledash?
Yes. Textured surfaces such as pebbledash and rough render are well suited to masonry coatings once properly prepared.
Will you repair cracks first?
We fill and repair cracks and stabilise the surface before painting, because coating over defects only hides them temporarily.
