Practical timber repainting for Chichester homes
External timber on Chichester homes — fascias, soffits, bargeboards, front doors, garage doors — sits in the worst weather zone of any painted surface, and it fails first. A repaint cycle every 5–8 years is normal.
Track record with this brief
- Comfortable in modern acrylic-alkyd trade systems
- Weather-window planning built into every exterior programme
- Regular whole-house exterior joinery cycles across Hampshire and Dorset
- Front-door and garage-door spray finish in workshop
A short walk-round gives us the site facts we need to price this properly rather than round-average it.
Practical decisions before quote
Whether front / garage doors will be taken off for spray
Access — tower vs scaffold on two-and-a-half storey gables
Drying windows for exterior water-based topcoats
Concurrent render or gutter works that need sequencing
Trade paint choice — acrylic-alkyd vs traditional oil gloss

Coverage beyond the main postcode
City-centre conservation rules limit scaffold sizes and skip placement — we apply for permits via CDC before commencing.
