Interior Wall Painting
Interior wall painting requires different approaches depending on wall construction and room use.
Victorian and Edwardian Terraces
Victorian terraces common in Maindee feature 3-metre-high ceilings and solid masonry walls. We use breathable masonry paint systems that allow these 100+ year old walls to manage moisture naturally.
1960s-70s Concrete System-Built Homes
Post-war concrete construction throughout Bettws and Ringland creates specific challenges. We apply anti-condensation primers before painting interior walls, and use breathable exterior coatings.
Modern New Builds
Recent developments like Glan Llyn typically come with basic builder’s magnolia that shows scuffs within months. We use scrubbable matt finishes rated for high-traffic areas that last 7-10 years.
Period Properties
Conservation areas and period properties in Caerleon require breathable traditional paint systems. We use lime-based primers compatible with original lime plaster.
Coastal Properties
Properties near the Usk Estuary face accelerated weathering from salt-laden air. We use marine-grade primer systems with zinc-phosphate rust inhibitors on metalwork.
Exterior Wall Painting
Exterior walls face Newport’s 900mm+ annual rainfall, coastal salt air, and biological growth. Paint specification matters.
What We Paint
Masonry walls (brick, stone, render), pebbledash and roughcast finishes, fascias, soffits and bargeboards, guttering and downpipes, exterior woodwork and cladding.
Weather-Resistant Paint Systems
North-facing walls throughout Bettws and Ringland grow algae and moss. We apply fungicidal wash before painting, then use breathable masonry paint containing biocides.
Coastal Protection
Properties near Goldcliff face salt corrosion. We use three-coat systems: zinc-rich primer, intermediate barrier coat, and marine-grade topcoat lasting 10-15 years.

Wall Painting Process
1. Surface Assessment
We inspect wall condition, identify issues (cracks, damp, loose material), and specify appropriate preparation and paint systems.
2. Preparation
Interior walls: Fill cracks, sand smooth, clean surfaces, protect floors and furniture.
Exterior walls: Pressure wash, treat biological growth, fill cracks with flexible filler, repair loose render.
3. Priming
The right primer prevents failures:
- Stain-blocking primers on water stains
- Alkali-resistant primers on new plaster/render
- Stabilizing primers on powdery surfaces
- Adhesion primers on glossy surfaces
4. Top Coating
Two coats minimum on interior walls. Three coats on exteriors for full coverage and protection. We cut in edges carefully and roll large areas for even texture.
5. Quality Check
We inspect completed walls in different light conditions, checking for even coverage, clean edges, and consistent finish.
