Masonry & stucco painting
Preparation and compatible finishes for previously painted masonry.
Discuss your project
Preparation and specification
The existing render, repair material and coating all influence a new finish. Cracks, flaking paint and moisture staining need investigation before a coating is selected.
What to include in the brief
- Condition of render and existing paint
- Repair boundaries
- Compatible primer and finish
- Access and protection
Planning the work
For older stucco, avoid choosing a coating on appearance alone. Any underlying repair and the required drying period should be settled before painting.
Before you enquire
Share the address, photographs of the surfaces and any access restrictions. Include your preferred timing and whether the building will remain occupied. Preparation, materials and any repairs can then be discussed as a defined scope.
