Exterior Decorating Farnham

Exterior Decorating in Farnham

Hawkes Decor & Design redecorated the exterior of a property in Caesars Court, Farnham, GU12. The job involved washing down, repairing and repainting the previously painted exterior surfaces.

The brief

The owner wanted the exterior brought back to a clean, uniform finish. The property had been painted before, but the existing coatings were tired. The aim was to protect the timber and metalwork, improve the look of the building and avoid any need for further work for several years.

Preparation

All loose and flaking paint was scraped back to a sound edge and sanded. The surfaces were washed down with a fungicidal wash to remove dirt, algae and mould. We filled cracks and small defects in the render with an exterior filler, then spot primed any bare timber and metal with the appropriate primer.

The work

Render and masonry

Painted render was washed down, repaired where necessary and repainted with a breathable masonry paint. This allows moisture to escape from the wall while protecting the surface from rain and UV damage. We used a flat matt finish to suit the style of the property.

The result

The exterior now has a clean, even finish with no flaking or staining.

Exterior decorating in Farnham requires careful planning around weather conditions. We only paint when the temperature is suitable and there is no rain forecast, and we allow proper drying times between coats. This ensures a long-lasting finish that will look good for years.
