Rendered Facades

Canterbury Decorators apply a masonry primer then topcoats. For render-specific work, see our render painting page.

Flint-and-Brick Walls

Flint is the defining material of the Kent vernacular. We inspect all pointing before starting.

Coastal Masonry

Salt-laden air attacks masonry on a three to five-year cycle. Our coastal property painting service covers the full exterior.

Masonry Painting FAQs

What paint for period render?

We use breathable masonry systems. Standard modern paint can trap moisture.

Do I need planning permission?

Changing a listed building’s exterior colour may need consent. Repainting in the same colour is usually acceptable.

Can you paint over cracked render?

Not without treating the cracks first. We fill with flexible compound first.

How long does masonry paint last?

Eight to twelve years inland. Six to nine years coastal with marine-grade specification.

Why does coastal work cost more?

Higher specification products and more intensive surface preparation.

Can you paint flint-and-brick walls?

Yes. We inspect all mortar joints before painting begins.

Does rain affect masonry painting?

Yes. Masonry paint must be applied in dry conditions.
