Exterior house painting in Stotfold
Every exterior job begins with Graham walking round the house. He notes cracked render and masonry, soft timber on fascias and sills, and gaps where water could get in. Those repairs go into the written quotation before any paint is opened.
Older houses and the post-war homes built from 1945 to 1964, about 650 in all, often have painted render and timber that need regular attention. We clean shaded walls with an anti-fungal jet wash, let them dry, fill cracks and use breathable masonry paint.
Colour and planning in Stotfold
Historic England's dataset shows no conservation area centred in Stotfold parish. The 18 listed buildings are a different matter: if yours is one, talk to Central Bedfordshire Council before changing anything outside. For any house, we can paint test patches so you see the colour in daylight first.
Sheds and fences can be done on the same visit; see fence and shed painting in Stotfold.

How we approach exterior painting
We schedule exterior work in the drier months, wash with an anti-fungal solution, scrape and sand flaking paint, fill masonry, prime bare timber and apply the coats each product needs. Windows, doors, paths and planting are masked. Fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes are done together so the roofline is one consistent colour. The full method, products and FAQs are on our exterior painting page.
