Masonry and pebbledash painting in Wednesbury, Friar Park and Ocker Hill. Walls cleaned, repaired and coated in a breathable masonry paint that stands up to the weather.
A lot of Wednesbury houses have pebbledash or painted brick fronts that were last done decades ago. The colour fades, algae turns the north side green and hairline cracks let water in. A proper masonry finish starts with cleaning off the growth and loose material, filling cracks and treating any algae, then two coats of masonry paint worked into every stone. On pebbledash that means a lot of paint and a lot of brush and roller work to reach the gaps.
Wednesbury sits high and a lot of its houses take the weather full on, which is why the fronts fade and grow algae faster than in sheltered streets. The cost is set by the size of the walls, how the upper storey is reached and how much repair the brick or pebbledash needs first. A photo of each elevation from across the road is enough to quote.
Yes, if it is sound. Loose or hollow patches need repairing first, or the paint will come away with them.
Dry weather above about ten degrees, from late spring to early autumn. Frost or rain on fresh paint spoils it.
For most two-storey Wednesbury houses a tower or scaffold is the safe way to reach the top. We will say what the job needs when we see it.
Usually two to four days including preparation, depending on size and the weather.
All exterior paint fades slowly, but a good masonry paint on a clean, sound wall lasts many years.
Yes, but it is a big decision, because painted brick then needs repainting every few years. We talk it through before starting.
Loose paint and dirt removed, algae and moss treated so they do not grow straight back through.
Hairline cracks filled with a flexible exterior filler so water cannot get behind the new coat.
A finish that lets the wall dry out, rather than trapping damp in it.
Worked into every stone and every gap, not just skimmed over the tops.
Window reveals and sills done in the same coats so the whole front matches.
Sample patches on the wall before committing, because masonry colours change in daylight.
