Service Options in Malpas
We provide interior and exterior painting services across all Malpas postcodes.
Interior Painting and Decorating
Our interior painting service covers walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors, and period details. For Malpas properties, that often means working with original plaster surfaces, picture rails, and decorative cornicing. These features require patience and precision.
Exterior Painting and Decorating
Our exterior painting service covers rendered elevations, masonry, fascia boards, soffits, and bay window surrounds. Malpas has a wide range of exterior surface types. Older 1930s semis have sand-and-cement renders; newer homes on Allt-yr-yn Rise have smooth modern renders. Each requires a different approach.
Period Properties and Premium Finishes in Malpas
Malpas is not a uniform suburb. The properties on Malpas Road and around Allt-yr-yn Avenue were built in the 1930s. Many retain their original character: bay windows with decorative fascia detail, lime-based plaster walls, picture rails, and cornicing.
Original Plaster Surfaces
Lime-based plaster in pre-war properties moves differently to modern gypsum. Hairline cracks are normal. If they are not treated correctly before painting, they reappear within months. We use the right fillers and primers for lime plaster, and our wall painting approach is adapted for these surfaces.
Bay Window Detail
The decorative fascia on original Malpas Road semis is not suited to roller work. Cutting in around intricate architrave and fascia detail requires brush technique and time. These elements are visible from the street and define the character of the property.
Smooth Rendered Elevations
Newer properties on Allt-yr-yn Rise typically have smooth rendered external walls. These surfaces need a breathable masonry paint system. Non-breathable paint traps moisture behind the render, which leads to bubbling and premature failure. We specify the right product for the surface.
Malpas borders Allt-yr-yn Nature Reserve — 46 hectares of protected woodland on the edge of the suburb. People who live next to a nature reserve tend to look after their homes. That is the standard we work to.
Our Process
1. Consultation and Site Visit
We visit the property, assess surfaces, and agree on scope. Period property plaster condition is noted at this stage.
2. Written Quote
A clear written breakdown — no hidden costs, no vague estimates. You know exactly what you are paying for.
3. Preparation
Surfaces cleaned, filled, sanded, and primed. Lime plaster treated with appropriate primers before painting.
4. Painting and Decorating
Carried out to a professional standard, with care taken around period features, furniture, and fittings.
5. Finishing and Detail Work
Edges, trims, and period details completed by brush where required. Original staircase woodwork in 1930s properties is properly prepared and finished.
6. Final Inspection
We walk through the finished work with you. Any touch-ups are dealt with on the day.

Why Malpas Properties Often Sit at the Upper End
- Larger floor areas than average Newport properties — more surface area to cover
- Period property preparation adds time (lime plaster treatment, hairline crack work, intricate woodwork)
- Premium paint systems cost more upfront but last longer — most Malpas homeowners prefer the better product
- Bay window and fascia detail on 1930s semis requires additional brush time
If you are comparing quotes, check whether preparation work and primer coats are included. A low headline price that excludes prep is rarely the better deal on an older property.
