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

First-line sea-facing properties have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with humidity, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their journey and cause the new paint to flake off in a few months. The solution is washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralisation, and application of siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Humidity from filtration 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 it without treating the origin is always a waste of money. The typical problem arises when you go to switch on the boiler or underfloor heating after eight months of disuse, and it doesn't respond. The pump has seized, the expansion vessel has lost pressure, the thermostat has been deconfigured. We see this every November.

The most common mistake is repainting facades with interior paint or cheap, large-surface exterior paint. It works for the first year but visibly degrades in the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates. The third step is the application of the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns that provide a rapid, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two crossed coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks. We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate painting system for the material and exposure.
