Exterior Painting
Larches blends Victorian charm with modern living. Our exterior painting services respect this unique character. We understand the different painting needs of local homes, from Victorian properties with detailed woodwork to classic Georgian houses with their balanced design.
Weather Challenges
The local weather creates special challenges for your home's exterior. Larches experiences lots of rain and humidity, which can damage paint quickly. That's why we use high-quality products like Dulux Weathershield, perfect for protecting against our damp conditions.
Special Care for Historic Homes
Historic homes along Sycamore Crescent need special care. We use traditional materials like limewash and breathable masonry paints. These allow older buildings to "breathe" naturally. This prevents moisture damage that can happen with regular paint.
Timber-Framed Homes
For timber-framed homes, we use specific techniques to protect wooden parts. We start with oil-based primers that soak deep into the wood. Then we apply flexible top coats that move with the wood as it expands and contracts. For Tudor-style homes, we often choose Farrow & Ball's exterior eggshell finish. This maintains their classic black-and-white look while providing lasting protection.
Timing and Weather Considerations
Our local weather affects how we paint. Morning dew and frequent showers mean timing is crucial. We start work after the morning moisture has cleared and watch weather forecasts carefully. We use fast-drying acrylic paints that can handle light rain soon after application.
Coastal Challenges
Homes near Primrose Lane face extra challenges from coastal air. Here, we use special anti-rust primers and salt-resistant finishes. These products, combined with thorough preparation, help your paint last longer in these tough conditions.
Our careful approach to exterior painting does more than make homes look fresh. It protects Larches' architectural heritage and guards your property

Living Room Colours
Living rooms often feature peaceful greens and blues. Farrow & Ball's "French Gray" and "Hague Blue" are popular picks. These colours create calm spaces that match the area's leafy streets. They look especially good in Victorian homes with high ceilings.
Hallway Trends
Two-tone walls are becoming more common in Larches hallways. A darker colour at the bottom helps hide scuffs and marks. A lighter shade above makes the space feel bigger and brighter. This works really well in older homes with narrow corridors.
Bedroom Trends
Bedrooms are trending towards soft, peaceful colours. Dulux's "Blush Pink" is a current favourite. It adds warmth without being too bold. Many people also like feature walls in deeper colours like navy or plum. These work well around fireplaces or in alcoves.
Exterior Choices
Outside, white and light grey remain top choices. These colours stand up well to weather and look classic on local streets. Front doors and window frames often pop with darker colours. Anthracite Grey and Farrow & Ball's "Stiffkey Blue" are common choices that add style while looking smart.
Wallpaper Trends
Heritage-style wallpapers are very popular in Larches, especially in dining rooms. People often choose subtle patterns with plants or shapes. These designs use the same soft colours that have become typical of local homes.
If you're considering a home transformation, now is the perfect time to explore these popular paint choices!
Additional Services

We protect outdoor garden features from our tough weather. Your wooden shed or pergola needs the right treatment to fight off rain and moss. We use special products that work well in damp conditions. Our work near Primrose Lane shows how we handle high moisture areas.
Pre-Painting Fixes

- Damp patches using special sealants

Local Experts
Unique Character
Larches has its own special character within Preston. Most homes here are 65-70 years old, showing off the area's history. You'll find everything from beautiful 1930s semi-detached houses to new builds near Savick Brook.
Weather Considerations
The weather here is unique because we're close to the River Ribble. We get high humidity (over 80%) and lots of rain (1034mm yearly). That's why we use special techniques and moisture-resistant paints to make sure our work lasts.
Wind and Rain Resistance
Being in PR2, Larches sits on higher ground. This means homes face stronger winds, especially on streets like Larches Avenue. We use tough exterior paints that stand up to wind and rain.
Local Building Materials
We're experts with local building materials. Many homes here have red Accrington brick, which needs special treatment. For pebbledash walls, we use special breathable coatings that protect against weather.
Architectural Features
The local architecture is special too. You'll see lots of bay windows and detailed woodwork typical of Northwest suburbs. Our team knows how to preserve these features while using modern, long-lasting finishes.
Family-Friendly Services
Larches has more family homes than other parts of Preston. We work around this by offering flexible times and using family-friendly paints with low VOC. We also plan around school terms, which helps families near Larches Primary School.
Heritage Work
We're especially proud of our work on traditional homes near Ashton Park. We use heritage colors that keep the area's classic look while providing modern protection.
Our deep local knowledge means we deliver beautiful results that truly suit Larches homes. We understand the buildings, weather, and community needs better than anyone. This makes us the ideal choice for protecting and improving homes in this special part of Preston.
