Is the outside of your home looking tired and shabby? Peeling paint looks ugly. Faded colours are unsightly. Cracks in your walls, old pebbledash and 'blown' render are never good to see. And mould, algae and moss add to the problem, making your property appear unloved and neglected. It doesn't always take very long - any building can look grimy after only a few years, thanks to the weather.
In most cases, the majority of homeowners care a great deal about their properties, but few have the time or enthusiasm to do anything about it. It may be that some are concerned about the cost of renovations, which is understandable, particularly in these days of financial turmoil. For others, the issue is related to the physical nature of the work. Customers in their senior years or those with conditions that affect mobility may not be able to tackle the job, however much they'd like to.
If your house exterior needs freshening up, Mister SprayIT can help you with our professional exterior house painting service.
Most homeowners want their property to look good. An aesthetically pleasing house helps to foster a sense of pride. It also boosts the market value which is particularly important if you want to sell your home.
But why use exterior painting services?
Basically, because professional painters do a fantastic job. When the job is completed and Mister SprayIT exterior painting specialists leave your property, you'll hardly recognise it as the results are genuinely astonishing. You can dramatically improve the outside of your home exterior within a few days, and at a lower cost than you might think!
You can choose to have traditional masonry paint that is usually guaranteed for ten years, or you could opt for a special wall coating that will protect your home against the elements for twenty years or more.
Either way, Mister SprayIT will make your house look amazing.
Maintaining and redecorating your home now will help to reduce the likelihood of having major renovation later.
If you're selling your home, exterior house painting is a fantastic way to boost its kerb appeal and value. Making your home stand out from the crowd drastically increases your chances of a quick sale, and any initial costs can be recovered in the sale price.
We all want our homes to look amazing. There's nothing like coming back to a beautiful house. It improves your mental well-being and raises the tone of the neighbourhood. Painting a building's exterior will make it look absolutely stunning, and you'll fall in love with your home again. And if it makes your immediate neighbours green with envy, that's just a bonus!
It's an annoying fact that our homes are at the mercy of the weather, along with air pollution from cars and industry. Damp conditions attack the wall surface, rotting wooden windows and causing mould to grow.
Constant changes in temperature eventually result in cracks in brick, stone or rendered walls.
If you don't clean these off and refresh your paintwork, the problem only gets worse.
So, it's best to take action as soon as possible to avoid shelling out for major repairs and renovation further down the line. You'd be surprised at the difference it makes, simply by adding a few coats of paint!
By 'exterior house painting', we don't just mean your outside walls.
Here are some examples of what we can include in your project:
Essentially, we are generally happy to tackle anything you ask us to - within reason! Feel free to chat with our dedicated team to bring your ideas to life, and they'll discuss all the ways in which we can help you.
Costs vary considerably depending on several factors, and it's impossible to give an accurate figure without having all the details.
The total cost of painting your house depends on the size and scale of the project, which areas you want to be painted, your location and the type of paint or coating that you select.
We also need to take into consideration the type of substrate (brick, masonry, cladding etc.) and whether any repairs are needed.
Most projects will involve working at height, which adds to the cost. We never compromise on safety, so scaffolding or a mobile platform is used to provide a safe and stable working area.
Although we could offer a ballpark figure for your project, these are often misleading because of the variables stated above. We strongly advise that you contact us for a free quote with no obligation. It would be helpful if we could view your property in person, but we can give an approximate figure if you provide a photograph of your house.
If you need reassurance as to whether you are getting a good deal, feel free to consult websites such as Checkatrade.
Again, this depends on exactly what is being painted. On average, most jobs are completed within three to five days.
Other factors may influence the timing, such as the weather, access to the site and the need to erect scaffolding.
We always aim to cause as little fuss and disruption as possible, so you can rest assured that our team will work efficiently and quickly in order to leave you in peace.

No two house painting jobs are ever the same, but the Mister SprayIT team follows a general procedure to ensure they produce good quality results:
The first stage of the project is a site inspection, which is vital for identifying any problems. We will check the site for any access problems, assess any potential risks, and ascertain whether scaffolding is required.
We must ensure that all surfaces are clean and sound before any paints are applied. Old paint will be checked to see if it needs to be stripped or burned off and the surfaces are thoroughly cleaned with a degreasing agent. If necessary, an antifungal or herbicide will be applied to eradicate mould, moss or algae.
All areas that are not to be painted are covered with professional-grade decorating paper and masking tape. Dust sheets will be draped over items below that can't be moved, while anything portable will be set aside.
The painters will then get to work on transforming the exterior of your home, according to your specifications. Generally, a spray painter will complete the work in less time than traditional decorators, but it all depends on the scale of the job.
Once your exterior painting work is completed it will be checked over to make sure it meets our usual professional standards. Any scaffolding is then dismantled and taken off-site. All masking tape and covers will be removed and all equipment packed away. Mister SprayIT painters will always ensure that your property is left in a clean and tidy state.
Mister SprayIT handles all kinds of property, including the following:
*You will need to ensure that you have permission to carry out any improvements to listed buildings and that the type of paint (as well as the colour) we use is approved for use. Also, if you live in a conservation area, you may need permission to alter the outside of your home.
Mister SprayIT can handle most minor repairs that are within our remit and skillset. If we discover anything major, we will always recommend a professional company to undertake the job rather than take on the responsibility ourselves.
Minor repair jobs include filling woodwork or cracks in masonry with a suitable filler. During the inspection, it is possible that we'll discover other work that needs to be done. We will always inform you of this before going ahead with any further work.
As a rough guide (according to sites like Checkatrade) it will cost somewhere between £1000 and £3,000 to have the outside of your house painted.
However, it's neither possible nor is it fair to offer a precise figure without being aware of the size and scale of the task. Once we have accurate details of what the job involves, we can provide a free quote with no obligation.
When putting together a quote, we need to consider the following factors:
Bear in mind that when you secure quotes from different house painting companies that some charge by the square metre while others use hourly rates. Some may even quote you a price for the whole job.
One thing you can rely on is that Mister SprayIT will always quote our customers a fair price for our painting services and that our painters will do an excellent job every time.
Whatever the task, no matter the size, our main priority is to have a satisfied customer at the end of the process.
Mister SprayIT specialist exterior painters are trained to a high standard and always aim to produce a perfect finish with each job.
This means that they are proficient in a full range of decorating methods, including the use of paintbrushes and spray painting techniques. Both require an exceptional level of skill to uphold our high standards, and we can use either to excellent effect in transforming your home.
However, Mister SprayIT exterior painters often use spray painting as it offers a far superior finish and allows them to complete the job much quicker.
Both do an excellent job of looking after the exterior surface of your house, and they both provide an amazing finish.
However, there are significant differences between the two.
Traditional masonry paint has come a long way in a couple of decades. It has been greatly improved and offers better protection than it once did.
Here are a few of the benefits:
There are many different types of paint, each one suited to specific types of masonry. Some are more breathable, allowing the substrate to allow moisture to escape, and these are ideal for older properties with rendered or soft brick walls.
These are specialist coatings that are specially formulated for external use, and they have many advantages:
Whether you hire Mister SprayIT for an exterior painting project for a commercial business or for a house painting session, you can be absolutely certain of one fact: our team will always deliver excellent work.
We offer comprehensive painting services, providing an ideal low-cost solution for all your renovation needs. While other methods may stretch your budget, Mister SprayIT can reduce costs while allowing you to achieve your dream of making your home look amazing.
If you are concerned about money, Mister SprayIT exterior painting is exactly what you need. Contact us today to discuss your project and we'll have your property looking fantastic in no time, all without making a huge dent in your bank account.
Your house should be painted once every 5-10 years. You can paint your exterior for a shorter time if you live in the south, where the weather is more dry.
Weathershield discovered that 46% Brits prefer exterior paint that is classic white, or cream. Cream Tea is a popular choice for mass appeal. It's especially great for cottages or country homes.
It can take 2-4 days to paint an average 3-4 bedroom home. However, other factors like weather or mortar/brick damage can alter this timeframe. It is not a good idea to rush the process if the quality of the finished product will last for 5-10 years.
Acrylic paint is the most durable and can withstand all kinds of weather damage. Acrylic paint can withstand fading and damage from sunlight, which makes it ideal for homes in hot climates.
