Can I paint the exterior of my house myself?

You can, but it’s a big job, especially if your home is tall or has tricky access. You’ll need the right tools, prep time, and a few dry days in the forecast. Hiring someone who paints houses for a living means it’ll be done faster, safer, and with a better finish.

What time of year is best for exterior painting?

Spring and summer are usually best, offering mild, dry weather conditions so the paint sticks properly. Avoid rainy days and extreme heat, as both can affect the finish.

Do I need planning permission to paint my house exterior?

Usually not. But if your home is listed or in a conservation area, you might need permission before changing the appearance. Always check with your local council if you’re unsure.

How do I prepare my home for exterior painting?

Move any garden furniture or pots out of the way. Trim back bushes or trees near the walls. And if you're doing it yourself, clean and repair surfaces first. Most exterior painters will include prep in their quote.

How do I choose the right paint for my house exterior?

It depends on the surface. Masonry paint works well for brick, render or stone surfaces. Timber cladding needs a weatherproof wood paint. For metal, look for rust-resistant outdoor options. A painter will offer guidance on the right type for your home.
