How to Prepare Walls for Painting in Malmesbury

Preparation in Malmesbury's Swartland climate requires particular attention to UV degradation and the effects of extreme heat and berg wind on existing paint. High-pressure wash all exterior surfaces. Apply fungicidal treatment where biological growth is present. Assess paint adhesion - the UV and heat of the Swartland accelerates paint degradation and adhesion loss. Remove all failed paint. Fill all cracks with flexible acrylic filler. Apply appropriate primer to all repaired and bare surfaces. For older properties with lime plaster, assess substrate before specifying products. See our full Malmesbury guide for timing advice.

Malmesbury Painters never skips preparation. Every surface cleaned, repaired and primed before topcoat.
