House exterior repaint in Dolgellau
Failing exterior paint removed, masonry prepared and two white finishing coats applied.
The brief
The brief was to repaint the weathered exterior of this Dolgellau home. The existing white coating was peeling, so the condition of the masonry underneath needed attention before repainting.
What was done
- Remove loose and failing paint from the exterior walls.
- Prepare and stabilise the exposed masonry.
- Apply two coats of white masonry paint.
- Finish the windowsills in black satin and the lower border in black masonry paint.
More loose paint beneath the first patch
What began as a small area of loose paint revealed a much larger failing coating as it was scraped back. I continued removing the unsound paint and prepared the exposed masonry before applying the new finish.

The result
The loose coating was removed before the walls were repainted, addressing the starting condition as well as the appearance. The completed elevation has an even white finish, with black sills and a dark lower border.
