Before work starts, we agree practical arrangements for your absence: access to the property, approvals and progress reporting.

- Updates: the agreed frequency of photos, phase summaries and next steps.
The work involved
What goes into a sound exterior finish?
Cleaning and preparation
The cleaning and preparation method depends on the condition of the wall and the coating system selected.
Repairs before painting
We include the necessary crack and surface repairs in the quotation after inspection. Where a problem calls for more extensive repair, we discuss it before painting.
Choosing the coating and colour
We agree the colour and a coating suited to the existing surface. Preparation and application follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
Protecting the surroundings
We plan protection for windows, doors, sills and adjoining surfaces that could be affected by the work.
Access and final checks
We assess work at height, scaffolding requirements and finishing details. The quotation sets out the access and protection included.

The quotation covers preparation, painting, materials and the agreed protection and access arrangements. Timing also depends on suitable conditions for exterior work.
05Agreement
Before starting, we confirm the work, materials, protection, access and how we will stay in touch. Exterior work also needs suitable conditions.
- 06
On-site work
We prepare the surface, complete the specified repairs and apply the chosen coating in line with the manufacturer’s guidance. We discuss changes before carrying them out.
07Handover
We inspect the finished coating and the details around openings together, checking that the work set out in the quotation has been completed.
Quote and preparation
What determines
the price?
Exterior painting is priced individually. Wall area, surface condition, preparation, repairs, the chosen coating, building height and scaffolding or access all affect the quotation. A single starting rate would not reflect every property.
The quotation uses measured facade surfaces and the agreed treatment of details. Washing, repairs, scaffolding, protection, removal and waste disposal must be expressly covered; they are not automatically part of repainting. An initial estimate is not a firm quotation. Any additional repairs and their price are agreed before proceeding.
Useful to know
Questions before repainting.
How are windows and reveals accounted for?
The quote states BUILD’s measurement basis: openings up to 3 m² are retained, and only the excess above 3 m² is deducted for larger openings. Reveals and other details are separate unless already included in the item.
Can you simply repaint the existing facade?
That depends on the surface. Flaking coatings, damage or signs of moisture need to be assessed so that the necessary preparation and repairs can be identified first.
Does the quotation include scaffolding?
Scaffolding and access requirements vary by property. Your individual quotation states what is included.
Is repainting the same as installing external wall insulation?
Repainting renews the coating on an existing facade. Installing a new external wall insulation system is a separate scope of facade work.
Can I enquire without knowing the wall area?
Yes. Send the location and photographs. Approximate measurements help, and we establish the quantities for the final quotation before agreeing the work.
