Exterior Painting
Choosing the Right Paint
The frequent rain and changing humidity in Lancashire mean we must choose the right paint for each home. Different houses need different approaches. Victorian homes have detailed woodwork, while post-war houses often have pebbledash walls. Modern homes have their own requirements too. We use water-resistant masonry paints for rendered walls and special breathable paints for wooden surfaces.
Local Painting Methods
Our local painting methods are designed for Clayton-le-Woods' climate. When using popular paints like Dulux Weathershield, we apply several thin coats instead of thick ones. This works better in our damp weather. Before painting, we carefully clean walls to remove moss and algae caused by our mature trees and wet conditions.
Challenges of the Countryside
Being close to the countryside brings extra challenges. We plan our work during the driest months, usually from late spring to early autumn. We use quick-drying paints that can handle light rain soon after application – perfect for our unpredictable Lancashire weather.
Special Techniques for Victorian Homes
For our Victorian homes with their special features, we use careful brushing techniques. This ensures paint gets into every detailed part of the woodwork. We often use traditional oil-based paints on period features, which both protect and keep the authentic look.
Experience Matters
Years of working in the area has taught us what works best. We know which primers suit our local brick types. We understand how different sides of houses face different weather conditions throughout the year. These details matter for a lasting paint job in our Lancashire climate.

Exterior Colour Preferences
For outside walls, neutral colours are most common. Off-white and cream are favourites for Victorian houses. These colours show off the old design features nicely. Modern homes often use light grey or beige. These colours stay looking good despite our northern weather.
Nature-Based Colours
Nature-based colours are becoming more popular. Sage Green and warm stone colours match our local surroundings perfectly. These earthy shades work really well on traditional Lancashire stone cottages. They help keep the historic look while blending with the environment.
Interior Colour Choices
Inside their homes, people in Clayton-le-Woods often pick different shades of grey. Light greys make rooms feel bright and open. They work well with the changing daylight in our northern location. Many people add darker grey touches to create interest.
Natural colours are popular inside too. Sage and Olive Greens are top choices. These colours make rooms feel peaceful and connect with the green views outside. Navy Blue is another favourite for feature walls. It matches the dramatic Lancashire sky, especially in homes near Cuerden Valley Park.
Accent Wall Trends
Both old and new homes often use neutral base colours with bold accent walls. Soft pink and light terracotta add warmth to dark rooms. Deep greens and blues make striking statements in bigger spaces.
These colour choices capture what makes Clayton-le-Woods special. They blend natural beauty, history, and modern style. Whether it's a Victorian terrace or a new family home, these colours create spaces that feel both stylish and truly local.
Consider how these choices can transform your space.
Additional Services
Outdoor Wooden Structures
Outdoor wooden structures need extra care in our climate. We restore garden sheds, fences, and pergolas with thorough pressure washing. This removes the moss and algae that often grow in our damp weather. We then apply strong weather-resistant treatments to protect the wood.
Damp Concerns
Damp is a big worry for many local homeowners. We use special damp-resistant coatings and breathable paints that help older walls manage moisture naturally. For areas with stubborn damp patches, we use stain-blocking primers and mould-resistant finishes.
Decorative Work
We're seeing more requests for decorative work, especially in children's rooms and feature walls. Our skilled team can create custom murals and stencil designs. We make sure these special finishes are both beautiful and practical, using paints that are easy to clean.
