External Wall Coating and Render Painting

Over time, external walls and rendered surfaces can become dull, cracked, or weather-worn — but a professional wall coating or render paint can completely transform the look of your property. At Enviro House, we apply high-performance, breathable coatings that not only refresh your home’s appearance but also provide long-lasting protection from the elements. Our coatings resist cracking, peeling, and fading, helping to preserve your property’s kerb appeal for years to come.

We work with a range of finishes and colours to suit your home’s style and ensure a smooth, uniform result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does render painting differ from wall coating?

Render painting and external wall coating are both popular ways to refresh and protect your home, but they work quite differently and offer different levels of performance. Render painting involves applying a high-quality exterior paint designed to add colour, improve appearance, and provide a basic level of protection against the weather. It is suitable for homes in the South East of England with intact render that needs cosmetic improvement or light surface protection. Render paint can last several years and is easy to reapply when your home needs a fresh look.

External wall coatings, on the other hand, provide a much thicker, more durable layer that bonds to the surface of your property. These coatings are specifically engineered to resist moisture, cracking, algae growth, and harsh weather conditions, which makes them ideal for properties exposed to wind, rain, and coastal air commonly found across the South East. Wall coatings also add insulation benefits, helping regulate temperature and improve home efficiency. While render painting is mainly decorative, wall coatings are more functional, offering long-term structural protection.

Choosing between the two depends on your goals—whether you want a cosmetic refresh or a high-performance, protective finish. Our team can assess your property and recommend the best option to ensure maximum durability and visual enhancement.

Can you paint over old or damaged render?

Painting over old or damaged render is possible, but it must be done correctly to ensure a strong, long-lasting finish. If the render is cracked, blown, or deteriorating, simply applying paint over the top won’t fix the underlying issue and may even trap moisture behind the surface. Before any work begins, we carry out a full inspection to assess the condition of the render and identify any structural or cosmetic damage. This is especially important in the South East of England, where coastal winds, heavy rainfall, and older housing stock can accelerate render deterioration.

If the render is sound but weathered, we thoroughly clean, repair, and prepare the surface before applying a specialist exterior masonry paint. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents peeling or flaking. For render that is significantly damaged, we may advise patch repairs or a full re-rendering prior to painting, to ensure the best long-term results. Sometimes, a protective wall coating is a better option than standard paint, especially if your property struggles with moisture penetration or staining.

Painting over render can dramatically improve your home’s appearance and protection, but it must be done professionally to avoid future issues. Our team ensures all preparation is completed to a high standard so your home receives a durable finish that withstands the South East climate.

What is an external wall coating?

An external wall coating is a high-performance protective layer applied to the outside of your home to enhance durability, appearance, and weather resistance. Unlike traditional masonry paint, wall coatings are much thicker and engineered to withstand the demanding environmental conditions often experienced across the South East of England. These coatings create a flexible, breathable barrier that prevents water ingress while allowing moisture inside your walls to escape naturally. This helps protect your property from damp, mould, frost damage, and surface erosion.

External wall coatings are ideal for homes with tired, discoloured, or porous surfaces that need more than a simple coat of paint. They offer significantly longer lifespan, with many lasting up to 15–20 years before requiring maintenance. These coatings also resist cracking, peeling, UV fading, and algae growth, making them perfect for older properties or those exposed to coastal weather. Another benefit is improved insulation—many coatings reflect heat and reduce thermal transfer, contributing to a more energy-efficient home.

The application process involves cleaning the surface, carrying out any required repairs, and applying the coating with specialist equipment for an even, long-lasting finish. Overall, external wall coatings provide a premium, low-maintenance solution for homeowners seeking durable protection and enhanced kerb appeal.

Are your coatings weatherproof?

Yes, all our external wall coatings are fully weatherproof and specifically formulated to protect your home from the varied climate across the South East of England. These coatings create a robust, water-repellent barrier that prevents rainwater and moisture from penetrating your walls. At the same time, they remain breathable—allowing trapped moisture within the property’s structure to escape. This balance is essential for preventing damp, condensation, and long-term structural damage.

Weatherproof coatings are engineered to withstand UV exposure, salt air in coastal areas, frost cycles, and acidic rainfall. This makes them ideal for properties located anywhere from inland towns to coastal regions such as those near the Sussex shoreline. The coatings are also highly resistant to cracking, peeling, and fading, offering long-lasting performance even in high-exposure locations.

Another benefit is the protective layer they form against algae, moss, and dirt build-up. Homes in the South East often experience rapid weather changes, and these coatings ensure your exterior remains clean, vibrant, and well-protected. With proper application, a weatherproof coating can last 15–20 years, making it a long-term investment in your home’s durability and appearance. Our team ensures precise preparation and application so you benefit from maximum protection.

What surfaces can be pressure washed?

Pressure washing is a versatile cleaning method suitable for a wide range of external surfaces around your home. We safely clean driveways, patios, pathways, decking, render, brickwork, fences, roofs, and garden walls throughout the South East of England. Each surface requires a different pressure setting and cleaning approach, so we tailor our equipment and methods to ensure your property is cleaned effectively without causing damage. This is especially important for homes with older brickwork or delicate render.

Driveways and patios often accumulate dirt, algae, moss, and oil stains, all of which pressure washing can remove quickly. For decking, we use lower-pressure techniques that lift dirt without damaging the timber. Render and brickwork require careful handling to ensure that joints and surfaces remain intact while still achieving a deep, refreshed clean. We can also remove stubborn organic growth on fencing and walls, restoring the appearance of your outdoor spaces.

Pressure washing not only improves kerb appeal but also prevents long-term damage caused by damp and biological growth. Whether you have a modern property or a traditional home, we have the right tools and expertise to clean surfaces safely and effectively. Our goal is to deliver a thorough clean while preserving the integrity of your exterior materials.

Will pressure washing damage my home’s surfaces?

When carried out by professionals, pressure washing is completely safe and will not damage your home’s exterior surfaces. The key is using the right combination of pressure, cleaning agents, and technique for each material. Our team understands how to adjust equipment to suit everything from robust brickwork to more sensitive surfaces like render, timber decking, or older properties commonly found across the South East of England.

Damage typically occurs only when excessive pressure is used, or when equipment is handled incorrectly. That’s why we always assess the surface before cleaning, identifying weak points, loose material, or areas that may require lower-pressure methods. For delicate surfaces, we use soft-washing equipment, which combines gentle pressure with specialist cleaning solutions to remove algae and dirt safely.

During the process, we ensure water is directed away from vents, doors, and window seals to avoid internal moisture issues. Our approach protects mortar joints, paintwork, and coatings while delivering a deep, effective clean. With the right expertise, pressure washing enhances your home’s appearance without risking structural or cosmetic damage. You can trust our trained professionals to restore surfaces safely, efficiently, and with long-lasting results.

Do you repair surfaces before exterior treatments?

Before applying any exterior treatment—whether render painting, wall coating, or protective sealing—we assess and repair surfaces to ensure the best long-term results. Exterior treatments cannot perform properly if applied over cracks, loose render, damaged brickwork, or areas affected by damp, which is why preparation is a key part of our process. In the South East of England, older homes and properties exposed to coastal weather often require patch repairs or stabilising treatments to ensure a durable finish.

We repair cracks, fill gaps, replace damaged sections of render, and clean away algae or moss before beginning any coating or painting work. Pressure washing may also be carried out beforehand to ensure the surface is clean and ready for optimal adhesion. This preparation enhances durability, ensures a smooth finish, and prevents moisture from becoming trapped beneath the surface.

Our thorough approach means your home not only looks better but also remains protected from rain, frost, UV exposure, and seasonal changes. By repairing surfaces first, we ensure your external treatments last longer and deliver the full benefits they’re designed for.

How long do exterior wall coatings last?

Exterior wall coatings are designed to be a long-lasting, high-performance solution for protecting and enhancing your home. Unlike standard masonry paint, which typically lasts 3–7 years before peeling or fading, a professionally applied wall coating can last 15–20 years or more, depending on the property and local environment. Homes in the South East of England — particularly coastal areas exposed to sea air, salt, and changing weather patterns — benefit especially from these coatings due to their durability and resistance to moisture.

Wall coatings are engineered to resist cracking, UV fading, dirt build-up, algae growth, and the repeated freeze-thaw cycles that often affect older properties. Their thickness and flexibility help prevent small cracks from worsening, while their breathable design allows internal moisture to escape without letting external water in. This keeps the walls dry and reduces the risk of damp or mould issues.

The lifespan of a coating also depends on proper preparation and application. Before applying any coating, we thoroughly clean, repair, and stabilise the surface to ensure maximum adhesion and performance. When installed correctly, a wall coating requires minimal maintenance, retaining its colour and protective qualities for many years. For homeowners seeking a long-term, low-maintenance exterior upgrade, wall coatings are one of the best investments available.

Do you offer eco-friendly or low-maintenance exterior treatment options?

Yes, we offer a variety of eco-friendly and low-maintenance exterior treatment options, tailored to the needs of homeowners across the South East of England. Many modern exterior coatings are formulated with sustainability in mind, offering low-VOC (volatile organic compound) content, long lifespans, and reduced environmental impact. These coatings often require far fewer reapplications than traditional paints, which significantly reduces waste over time. Their long durability also means minimal maintenance, saving homeowners both time and money.

Our wall coatings are breathable, preventing trapped moisture — an essential feature in the South East’s varied climate — and reducing the likelihood of rot, damp, or mould. Many coatings also feature self-cleaning properties, where rainfall naturally washes away dirt, helping keep your home looking fresh without the need for harsh chemical cleaners. This makes them ideal for environmentally conscious homeowners or those seeking a low-maintenance property exterior.

For pressure washing, we use environmentally safe detergents where necessary, and in many cases, water alone is enough to produce excellent results. Our methods minimise waste and reduce the risk of chemical runoff affecting gardens or drainage systems.

We can discuss eco-friendly options during your assessment and recommend the best solutions based on your property’s needs, environmental goals, and long-term maintenance preferences.
