External decorating in Bollington

Bollington sits high and exposed on the western edge of the Peak District, and the weather here is genuinely harder on exterior paintwork than it is a few miles down in the Cheshire plain. Wind-driven rain, more frost, and long damp spells all shorten the life of a coating that was not put on properly.

That makes surface preparation and timing more important, not less. We will not open a tin if the surface is damp or the temperature is dropping below about eight degrees, and we plan exterior work here for settled spells rather than squeezing it in. Moving a start date by a week is a better outcome than a coating that never cures and starts lifting in the first hard frost.

Stone and rendered elevations, timber windows, doors, fascias and bargeboards make up most of the work, and north-facing walls almost always need treating for algae and moss before anything else happens.

Rotten timber is common on exposed elevations. As a Repair Care Approved Contractor we can usually rebuild the decayed section in place rather than you having to replace the whole window or board.
