Is your home starting to show signs of wear? Cracked render, flaking paint, or a tired finish could be more than cosmetic — they may signal deeper issues. Here are 5 signs that it’s time to invest in a professional exterior coating.
1. Cracked or Peeling Paint
Peeling or flaking paint is a clear sign that the wall surface underneath has been compromised. Moisture may be getting in, which can lead to damp and structural issues over time.
2. Visible Cracks in Render or Pebbledash
Cracks in render or pebbledash allow water to penetrate your walls. Over time, this can lead to costly damage. Our wall coatings include crack repairs and a seamless protective layer.
3. Discolouration or Staining
If your walls are looking patchy, dirty, or stained by algae, this is not just a visual issue — it could point to deeper moisture problems. A breathable coating helps eliminate this.
4. Damp or Cold Walls Inside
Feeling cold walls or spotting damp indoors can indicate that your exterior walls are no longer doing their job. Our coatings can help improve thermal performance and reduce cold bridging.
5. Outdated Appearance
Sometimes, your home just needs a facelift. Coatings give your property a fresh, modern look and boost its value and kerb appeal — especially useful if you’re considering selling.
