Exterior Painting and Decorating in Camden
Render, brick, timber, railings and gates. We protect your property from the London weather.

What our exterior painting covers in Camden
We repaint exteriors across Camden and North London, covering rendered fronts, exposed brick, timber fascias and soffits, front doors, railings and gates on homes, flats and let properties. A typical terrace front takes three to five days once access is up. The price is fixed in writing after a free survey.
The work that lasts happens before the topcoat. We scrape back flaking paint, cut out and patch blown render, treat damp and algae, and seal chalky or powdery surfaces with a stabilising solution so the new paint keys to something sound. Bare timber is sanded and primed, metalwork is rust-treated, and only then do two coats of trade-grade masonry or exterior wood finish go on. Access is planned into the quote up front, whether that means ladders for a low terrace in Kentish Town or a tower for a tall Primrose Hill front, and where a wall has been opened up it often pairs naturally with plastering or fresh sash window painting on the same visit.
We paint exteriors right across North London, the painted stucco of Belsize Park, the brick terraces of Camden Town, the period frontages of Hampstead, booking the work for the drier stretch of the year so the paint cures the way it should. You get a fixed price agreed in writing, a fully insured local team, and a frontage left clean with all access and waste cleared away before we sign off.
Render and masonry
Rendered fronts and exposed brickwork are covered. That includes the stucco-rendered ground floors common on the borough's Victorian and Edwardian frontages, and both take two coats of trade-grade masonry paint, the layer that keeps driving rain, frost and sun off the wall behind it.
Timber fascias, soffits and doors
Fascias, soffits and front doors are all in scope. So are the timber sash boxes period houses carry, and all of it takes a durable exterior wood finish, so the elements most exposed to the London weather stay sound rather than peeling and letting damp into the timber.
Railings, gates and ironwork
The cast-iron railings, gates and balconies these terraces carry are covered too. Metalwork gets rust-treated first. It is then recoated with a durable exterior system, so the ironwork across a frontage is protected against the weather alongside the render and timber rather than left to corrode.
Weatherproof finishes
Render and brick take trade-grade masonry paint. Timber and ironwork take a durable exterior system, Dulux, Crown or Johnstone's, all of it rated for British weather, so the whole frontage carries a finish built to shrug off rain, frost and chalking sun.
Why Camden landlords and letting agents choose our exterior painting
Fixed date, fixed price. Landlords and managing agents choose us to protect the fabric of a let property and keep kerb appeal up for re-letting and valuations, so we weatherproof the timber and render that insurers and surveyors flag and clear our access and waste so the building is presentable for viewings.

How our exterior painting works in Camden
Every exterior painting job in Camden follows the same clear process. We start with a free site visit and a fixed written price, then work to a typical timeline of 3 to 5 days for a typical terrace front, keeping you updated at each stage and clearing up before we hand back.
-
Free site survey and fixed quote
We visit and check the render, brickwork, fascias and ironwork, then work out the access needed, ladders for a low terrace, a tower or scaffold for anything higher, and it all comes back as one fixed price in writing covering labour, paint and access.
-
Scrape back and stabilise
Loose and flaking paint gets scraped and brushed off. Where render has blown we cut it out and patch it, and chalky or powdery surfaces are sealed with a stabilising solution so the new coat has something sound to grip.
-
Treat, fill and prime
Damp and algae are treated. Cracks and gaps get filled, bare timber on fascias, soffits and doors is sanded and primed, and metalwork is rust-treated before it sees a brush.
-
Weatherproof topcoats
Dulux, Crown or Johnstone's. Render and brick take two coats of trade-grade masonry paint, timber and ironwork take a durable exterior system, and all of it is rated for British weather and cut in cleanly by hand.
-
Access cleared and signed off
Ladders, towers and sheeting come down. The ground and any planting are left clean, our waste is taken away, and we walk the frontage with you before the job is closed.
Common questions about Exterior Painting in Camden
When is the best time to paint exterior walls in London?
Late spring to early autumn, roughly April to October. Those drier months give the best conditions, because masonry paint needs the surface dry and above 10°C to cure properly, so we monitor the forecast and will move a start date rather than apply paint with rain due within 24 hours. A damp wall undermines even the best paint.
How long does exterior paint last?
On London render or masonry, a well-prepared exterior repaint should hold up for five to eight years. Timber is different. Fascias, soffits, window frames and front doors take more weather, and may want refreshing every three to five years depending on how exposed they are.
Do you paint Victorian terrace facades?
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces are everywhere across Camden and we are set up for them. That means stucco-rendered ground floors, brick upper storeys, timber sash boxes and the cast-iron railings, gates and balconies these houses carry, all of it scraped back, with chalky render stabilised and the timber and ironwork weatherproofed.
How much does exterior painting cost in Camden?
Exterior work is always quoted as one fixed price after a visit. The total depends on the size of the frontage, the condition of the masonry and timber, the colour and number of coats, and the access required, since some jobs need a tower or scaffold rather than ladders. The price you agree before we start is what you pay.
