House Painting for Different Newport Properties
Newport’s diverse housing stock needs different approaches. As local house painters who’ve worked across every Newport neighbourhood, we understand what each property type requires.
Victorian and Edwardian Terraces (Maindee, Batchelor Road, City Centre)
Victorian terraces common in Maindee feature 3-metre-high ceilings, ornate coving, and solid masonry walls built before the 1919 damp course regulations. We use breathable masonry paint systems that allow these 100+ year old walls to manage moisture naturally. Lime-based primers on original plasterwork prevent the condensation issues modern vinyl paints cause.
1960s-70s Concrete System-Built Homes (Bettws, Ringland, Allt-yr-yn)
Post-war concrete construction throughout Bettws and Ringland creates specific challenges. These no-fines concrete homes are prone to condensation and cold bridging. We apply anti-condensation primers before painting interior walls, and use breathable exterior coatings that prevent moisture trapping behind the paint film.
Modern New Builds (Glan Llyn, Springfield Meadows, Royal Victoria Court)
Recent developments like St. Modwen’s Glan Llyn estate and Persimmon’s Springfield Meadows typically come with basic builder’s magnolia that shows scuffs within months. We strip back to bare plaster, apply proper undercoats, and use scrubbable matt finishes rated for high-traffic areas. The difference: paint that lasts 7-10 years, not 18 months.
Period Properties (Caerleon, Caerleon Grange)
Conservation areas and period properties in Caerleon require breathable traditional paint systems. We use lime-based primers compatible with original lime plaster, and specify exterior paints that won’t trap moisture in solid stone walls.
Coastal Properties (Goldcliff, Redwick)
Properties near the Usk Estuary face accelerated weathering from salt-laden air. Standard exterior paints fail within 3-4 years. We use marine-grade primer systems with zinc-phosphate rust inhibitors on metalwork, and high-build masonry coatings formulated for coastal exposure.
Professional House Painters: Exterior Services
Newport’s 900mm+ annual rainfall and coastal weather demands proper exterior paint specification.
What We Paint
Masonry walls (brick, stone, render)
Pebbledash and roughcast finishes
Fascias, soffits and bargeboards
Guttering and downpipes
Exterior woodwork and cladding
Metal railings and fixtures
Garden fences, sheds, and decking
Weather-Resistant Paint Systems
North-facing walls throughout Bettws, Ringland, and Allt-yr-yn grow algae and moss, particularly on pebbledash which retains moisture. We apply fungicidal wash before painting, then use breathable masonry paint containing biocides that prevent biological regrowth.
Properties near Goldcliff and the riverfront face salt corrosion on metalwork. We use three-coat systems: zinc-rich primer, intermediate barrier coat, and marine-grade topcoat. Standard systems fail within years; ours last 10-15.

Paint Specification by Room
High-traffic areas need scrubbable matt finishes rated for contract use. Kitchens require moisture-resistant coatings. Bedrooms benefit from low-VOC paints for better air quality. Bathrooms need anti-mould formulations, often complemented with wallpapering feature walls in drier areas.
House Painter and Decorator Process
1. Surface Preparation
Preparation determines longevity. We fill cracks with flexible filler, sand surfaces smooth to 240-grit, and treat underlying issues before painting. Exteriors get pressure-washed at 150 bar to remove dirt, algae, and friable material.
2. Priming
The right primer prevents failures. We use stain-blocking primers on water damage, adhesion primers on glossy surfaces, damp-resistant primers on problematic walls, and zinc-rich primers on exterior metalwork.
3. Application
Two coats minimum, three where coverage demands. We cut in edges before rolling, maintain wet edges to prevent lap marks, and back-roll sprayed surfaces for even texture.
4. Quality Check
We inspect with you before calling work complete. Any touch-ups needed? We handle them.
