Painting exterior walls
Before exterior painting begins, we check the condition of the walls and get rid of any signs of damp areas, loose paint, cracks or mould. Damp areas are sealed with special sealers. Occasionally, further investigation is needed on damp areas. Cracks are filled using exterior filler. Mould should be treated either with mould killer spray or bleach. All exterior walls must be sound dry prior to painting.
