Exterior painting for homes in Stevenage
Weather takes a toll on front doors, window frames, fascias, fences and gates. Repainting them at the right time protects the timber and keeps the outside of your home looking cared for.
Exterior jobs we can help with
- Front and back doors
- Window frames and sills
- Fascias, soffits and bargeboards
- Garden fences and gates
- Painting or treating exterior walls where the surface is suitable
Preparing outside surfaces
Good exterior work starts with cleaning. We remove dirt, mould and flaking paint, sand the edges of old paint and fill cracks. Bare timber is treated or primed before the topcoat goes on, so the paint can bond properly.
Choosing the right paint
Use paint designed for outdoor use. Timber usually needs a primer or undercoat followed by a suitable topcoat. The paint tin will list the temperatures and conditions it needs, and we follow those when we work.
Signs your outside woodwork needs attention
- Peeling, blistering or cracking paint
- Bare timber showing through the paint
- Gaps or cracks where water can get in
- Timber that feels soft or looks grey and crumbly
If timber feels soft, it can be a sign of rot. We will tell you what we see and recommend a proper repair before any paint goes on.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How often should exterior paint be redone?
It depends on the material, how exposed the surface is to weather, and the paint used. Doors and timber on sunny sides often need attention sooner than sheltered surfaces. We will look at the surfaces and tell you what we see.
Can you paint a front door in one visit?
A door can often be prepared and painted in a day, but drying times between coats and the weather can change the timing. We will confirm the schedule when we visit.
Do you paint fences and gates?
Yes. Fences and gates are a common exterior job. We will check the timber, remove loose paint or old finish where needed and then apply a suitable outdoor paint or treatment.
Can you work in the rain?
Exterior painting needs dry conditions. If rain is forecast, we will move the job to a better day rather than risk a poor finish.
