If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's peeling, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates small building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well and will peel off soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability.

Dampness from leaks requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, it requires chemical barrier injection. Painting over without treating the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior joinery, we use synthetic or water-based enamel.

Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks.

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior-specific with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or economical large-surface exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between economical and professional is relatively small. The difference in years of durability is very profitable. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns that provide a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detail areas, we use good quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks.
