Masonry Painting Services
Masonry enquiries can cover render, brick, stone or pebbledash. Preparation and coating are specified separately for each identified substrate.
Rendered Walls
Rendered walls are checked for render type, cracking, contamination and coating failure before preparation is specified.
Colour and finish options for rendered walls are discussed after the existing rendered surfaces, and stone surfaces and selected product information are reviewed.
Exposed Brick
Exposed brick is checked for condition, pointing, contamination, previous treatment and moisture behaviour before cleaning, sealing or coating is considered.
Cleaning pressure, sealers and coatings are not assumed. The method and product must suit the assessed brick, pointing, previous treatment and moisture behaviour.

Masonry Treatment Options
Stone facades, breathable coatings, and biological growth treatment require assessment and products compatible with the surface.
Stone Facades
Properties in Neville’s Cross and Gilesgate with natural sandstone or artificial stone facing require careful product selection. The wrong coating can cause spalling by trapping moisture inside the stone.
Your decorator assesses stone type and porosity before recommending any treatment. No coating is a default for natural stone; the specification depends on the stone, existing treatment, condition and relevant product guidance. Your decorator checks repointing condition before coating, as failed joints allow water ingress behind any surface treatment.
Breathable Coatings
Older wall build-ups may require vapour-permeable coatings. The actual substrate and moisture behaviour must be identified before a system is proposed.
Product choice is made for the individual masonry substrate and existing coating; age or postcode alone does not determine the system. Your decorator advises on the correct system during the site survey. For period property painting projects, this is a critical consideration.
Biological Growth Treatment
Biological growth is assessed by type, extent, substrate condition and likely moisture source before cleaning or treatment is proposed.
Cleaning and treatment options for biological growth are specified after the masonry and contamination are assessed.
Your decorator also handles wood painting and fence painting as part of a full exterior refresh.
