House painters in Kew with a genuine heritage focus
Kew's tree canopy is glorious and it also keeps southern walls damp and shaded for most of winter. Mould, not sun, is usually what kills a Kew exterior finish.
We treat mould at the spore rather than painting over the stain, install fungicidal washes before priming and specify coatings with mould inhibitors for the shaded elevations under established elms and oaks.
Kew house painting therefore starts with drying and treating the substrate, not with colour selection.
Housing stock in Kew: Grand Federation homes, mid-century architect houses and substantial rendered family residences.
How we work in Kew
- Fungicidal treatment for shaded southern elevations
- Mid-century timber and steel window refinishing
- Large-format render coating with seamless lap control
