Exterior Painting Services
North Devon sees around 180 days of rain per year. Paint fails faster here than almost anywhere inland. Salt air from the Atlantic reaches well into Barnstaple and accelerates coating failure on render and masonry.
Masonry and Rendered Walls
Before painting, your decorator checks for structural cracks, hollow areas, and sections of render that have taken on moisture. Loose render is hacked back and repaired.
Cracks are filled with flexible exterior filler. Properties in Ilfracombe and Braunton facing the sea need this step taken seriously. Your decorator specialises in conservatory painting, including rendered conservatory walls and timber-framed sections.
For standalone masonry work, see our masonry painting page.
Windows and Woodwork
Many properties in Pilton and Barnstaple town centre have original Victorian and Edwardian joinery. Your decorator strips back to sound timber, patches any rot, primes correctly, and applies durable exterior gloss or satin. For rendered exterior walls, see our specialist render painting service.
For dedicated window treatment, see our window frame painting page. Front doors are covered in detail on our front door painting page.
For general door painting across all external doors, your decorator uses the same preparation-first approach.
Fascias, Soffits, and Guttering
Fascias and soffits take the full force of North Devon rainfall. Rotted or poorly maintained fascias allow water to track behind the render. Your decorator assesses condition before quoting, replace where needed, and applies a durable exterior coating. Properties with pebbledash or decorative aggregate finishes are handled under the pebbledash painting service.
Your decorator has worked on render and masonry from Barnstaple town centre to coastal villages in Ilfracombe, Croyde, and Braunton. Your decorator knows which coatings hold in Atlantic conditions.
Garden Walls and Coastal Exteriors
Stone boundary walls, gate piers, and outbuildings need the same care as the main house. Coastal properties need specialist coatings.
Garden Walls and Outbuildings
Stone boundary walls, gate piers, and outbuildings need the same care as the main house. Many are older rubble stone or rendered block.
Barnstaple Decorators also covers fence painting, shed painting, deck painting, and general wood painting on external timber structures.
The same approach applies throughout: check the surface, repair where needed, apply the right coating.
Coastal Property Exteriors
Coastal properties in Croyde, Ilfracombe, and Braunton face conditions that standard masonry coatings are not designed for. Your decorator uses flexible, breathable exterior coatings suited to exposed coastal positions.
Any biological growth is treated before the finish coat goes on.
For heritage and period coastal properties, see our period property painting page for traditional lime-based coating systems. Painting inside at the same time? See our house painting page.
Garage Door Painting
Garage door painting on up-and-over, sectional, and side-hinged garage doors requires proper surface preparation and a durable finish. Your decorator strips back failing paint, treats any rust or bare metal, and applies an exterior-grade finish that holds colour and resists weathering.

Here’s How It Works
1. Site Assessment
Your decorator visits and checks every surface. Your decorator notes the surface type, existing coating condition, renders quality, and any biological growth. Your decorator identifies structural repairs needed before painting starts.
2. Surface Preparation
Your decorator cleans moss, algae, and loose material. Render is repaired where needed. Timber is stripped to sound material. Biological growth is treated and allowed to dwell before rinsing.
3. Priming
Bare timber gets a specialist timber primer. Masonry and render get the right primer for the surface. The primer determines how long the finish holds. Getting this wrong shortens the life of the job significantly.
4. Paint Application
Exterior paint needs a dry window of at least 48 hours to cure. Your decorator monitors North Devon weather forecasts and plans application phases carefully. Two finish coats are standard. High-exposure coastal surfaces get a third.
5. Inspection and Touch-Up
Once the final coat has cured, all surfaces in good light are inspected. Touch-ups are done before your decorator leaves. Your decorator walks through the finished work with you before closing the job.
