Masonry Painting Services in Hereford
Rendered Walls
Rendered facades require flexible masonry paint accommodating thermal movement. Render in Belmont and Holmer may have developed hairline cracks over time.
Condition before quoting is inspected. Structural cracks and loose areas are addressed before painting. For stone cottages and period buildings requiring specialist preparation, see our period property painting page.
Exposed Brick
Brick facades need different products than render. Masonry paint must allow brick to breathe. Your decorator uses breathable systems appropriate for brick type.
Properties with exposed brick are assessed on site. Old brick with deteriorating pointing needs careful assessment. Trapped moisture behind impermeable paint causes damage.
Stone Facades
Stone-built properties in Credenhill and Lugwardine need careful product selection. Soft rubble stone and lime mortar are common. Impermeable paints trap moisture and cause deterioration.
Your decorator uses breathable masonry paint on all stone-built properties as standard.
Breathable Systems and Biological Treatment
Breathable Masonry Systems
Breathable paint matters most on older buildings and stone. Modern brick with cement mortar can accept standard masonry paint. Georgian and Victorian properties with lime mortar cannot.
Your decorator specifies the correct product and includes it in the quote. Product cost difference is small compared to remedial work from wrong paint.
Biological Growth Treatment
Moss, algae, and lichen must be treated before painting. Painting over live growth fails within months.
Your decorator applies mould treatment wash, allows dwell time, and rinses. Treatment is included for any surface with visible growth.
How Masonry Painting Works
1. Masonry Assessment
All masonry surfaces are inspected. Your decorator notes render condition, brick type, biological growth, and repairs needed.
2. Biological Treatment
Any moss, algae, or lichen is treated with mould wash, with dwell time allowed before rinsing and proceeding.
3. Repair
Your decorator repairs cracks, hollow render, and loose masonry. Only stable masonry is painted.
4. Priming
Your decorator applies masonry primer appropriate for the surface. Stone gets breathable primer.
5. Finish Coats
Your decorator applies masonry finish in dry conditions. Two coats are standard.
