Masonry painting in Wood Green, Wednesbury. Painted brick, render and pebbledash cleaned, repaired and repainted with a breathable masonry paint.
Wood Green has a lot of houses whose fronts were painted years ago - brick, render and pebbledash alike - and painted masonry, once started, has to be kept up. When it starts to flake, chalk or go green, the answer is not another coat over the top.
Masonry in Wood Green is cleaned first, with algae and dirt removed and anything green treated so it does not grow back through. Loose and flaking paint comes off, cracks in render are cut out and filled, and blown patches are pointed out, because painting over hollow render just hides a repair that is coming.
The paint itself has to breathe. A masonry paint that lets moisture escape from the wall is what stops blistering, and it is especially important on the north-facing fronts in Wood Green that never quite dry out through the winter.
Pebbledash takes more paint and more time than a smooth wall, and a long-pile roller or a brush worked into the texture to get full cover. Windows, doors and paths are masked and covered while the walls are done. Flaking paint, damp patches that keep coming back, or cracks that reopen are worth looking at before anything new goes over them.
Usually every eight to twelve years, depending on exposure and how well it was prepared.
Algae growing where the wall stays damp. It needs killing, not just painting over.
Yes, though it may need an extra coat to cover a darker colour underneath.
Think carefully - once painted, brick needs repainting for life. We will talk it through.
Most Wood Green houses can be done from ladders or a tower; we will say if a job needs scaffold.
