House Painting Services
Our comprehensive house painting services cover every aspect of your Cardiff property—interior rooms, exterior walls, woodwork, and specialist finishes. For larger-scale commercial or industrial projects, we offer specialized services and team coordination.
Interior House Painting
Professional painting for every room in your Cardiff home. We use moisture-resistant paints for bathrooms, washable coatings for family areas, and premium finishes for living spaces. Our interior painting covers bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, kitchens, and home offices.
Exterior House Painting
Weather-resistant exterior painting protecting your Cardiff property from Welsh weather. We paint walls, windows, doors, fascias, and metalwork using masonry paints designed for Cardiff’s 2,000mm+ annual rainfall and coastal exposure. Specialist coatings for different surfaces ensure lasting protection.
Period Property Painting
Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian homes feature lime plaster and breathable building materials that need specialist care. We use breathable paints that prevent damp issues common in period properties—essential when Cardiff’s solid-wall terraces were built with Bath stone, blue Pennant, and lime-based mortars.
Woodwork Painting
Skirting boards, architraves, window frames, doors, and staircases receive careful preparation and application. We use different primers and paints for interior and exterior woodwork, ensuring durability and beautiful finishes throughout.

Why Hire Professional House Painters?
Professional house painters deliver results that DIY simply cannot match. Here’s what sets professional work apart and why Cardiff homeowners choose us.
Surface Preparation Expertise
Professional painters spend 60-80% of time on preparation—cleaning, filling cracks, sanding, and priming correctly. DIY painters often skip these steps, leading to peeling and bubbling within months.
Cardiff Climate Knowledge
Our painters know which paints work for Cardiff’s 2,000mm+ annual rainfall and which finishes suit coastal salt exposure. We understand breathable paint requirements for Victorian solid walls versus modern cavity wall construction.
Time & Efficiency
A project taking homeowners 3-4 weekends takes our professional painters 3-5 days. We work efficiently without sacrificing quality, minimizing disruption to your household.
Insurance Protection
Our painters carry full public liability insurance. If we accidentally damage something, you’re protected. DIY painters take on all risk themselves.
Results That Last
Quality house painting lasts 5-7 years for interiors and 7-10 years for exteriors. DIY jobs often need repainting within 2-3 years due to poor preparation or unsuitable paint selection.
Professional house painting protects your Cardiff investment and delivers beautiful results that last. Call 02922710084 for your free assessment.
House Painting Timeline
Understanding project timelines helps you plan effectively. Here’s what to expect for different house painting projects in Cardiff.
Interior Painting
Single room: 1-2 days. 2-3 bedroom house: 5-7 days. 4+ bedroom house: 1-2 weeks. Timeline varies based on ceiling height, surface condition, and decorative details.
Exterior Painting
Terraced house: 5-7 days. Semi-detached: 1-2 weeks. Detached: 2-3 weeks. Weather dependent—we only paint in dry conditions to ensure proper adhesion and curing.
Full House Painting
Complete interior and exterior: 2-4 weeks. We coordinate interior and exterior work efficiently, working on interiors during wet weather and exteriors when dry conditions allow. Accurate timeframes provided during your free Cardiff consultation.
House Painting Costs in Cardiff
Several factors affect the cost of house painting in Cardiff. Understanding these helps you budget effectively and appreciate why quality work costs what it does.
What Affects Your Quote:
Property size – larger wall areas require more time, paint, and labour. Surface condition – repairs and preparation increase costs, particularly common in older Cardiff properties. Paint quality – trade paints (£15-25+ per 5L) versus premium paints (£60-80+ per 5L). We recommend premium for period properties. Exterior vs interior – exterior often costs more due to weather considerations and scaffolding. Access – high ceilings and difficult areas add time. Victorian Cardiff homes with 10-12ft ceilings require more equipment than modern 8ft ceiling properties.
Typical Prices:
Interior: Single room: £300-£600+, 2-bed house: £1,500-£2,500+, 3-bed house: £1,800-£3,500+, 4+ bed house: £3,000-£5,000+
Exterior: Terraced: £900-£1,500+, Semi-detached: £1,300-£2,500+, Detached: £1,800-£3,500+
These are rough estimates based on typical Cardiff properties. Contact us on 02922710084 for an exact quote tailored to your specific home.

Cardiff Homes We Paint
Every Cardiff property type presents unique painting challenges. Our house painters understand what each era and style needs for lasting, beautiful results.
Victorian & Edwardian Terraced Houses (1870s-1920s)
Common in Cathays, Roath, Pontcanna, and Pen-y-lan. These terraces feature high ceilings (10-12ft), original plasterwork, and bay windows. Built with Bath stone, blue Pennant, and lime-based mortars—materials designed to breathe. We use breathable paints essential for Cardiff’s solid-wall construction.
1930s Semi-Detached Homes
Popular in Llandaff, Heath, Whitchurch, and Lisvane. Distinctive red brick with mixed surfaces including Mock Tudor timber framing, rendered walls, and pebbledash. Metal casement windows with Art Deco patterned glass. Each surface needs different preparation—we handle these varied materials properly.
Modern Apartments & Townhouses
Cardiff Bay, Atlantic Wharf, and Pontprennau feature well-insulated properties with plasterboard walls and open-plan layouts. We use low-VOC paints that dry quickly with minimal odour—perfect for apartment living where you need to minimize disruption.
Post-War Council Housing
Common in Ely, Fairwater, and Llanrumney. Built from the 1920s onwards with simpler layouts than Victorian properties. We handle Artex ceilings and mixed wall finishes with durable, family-friendly paints that withstand daily wear.
Large Detached Homes
Cyncoed (Cardiff’s most affluent suburb), Radyr, and Lisvane. Spacious properties requiring meticulous attention throughout. Our house painting service scales to any size while maintaining quality standards.
Character & Period Properties
Stone cottages, converted chapels, and waterfront homes in Penarth. We tailor our approach to traditional building materials and architectural heritage, using appropriate breathable paints and specialist techniques.
Comprehensive Service
Whether you’re in a Roath terrace or Cyncoed detached home, our Cardiff house painters adapt to your property’s specific needs. We understand which paints work for Cardiff’s climate and which finishes suit coastal exposure.
Local Expertise Matters
Over 10 years painting Cardiff homes means we know which breathable paints prevent damp in Victorian solid walls and which finishes suit modern cavity wall construction. We match materials and techniques to your property’s age and construction.
Every Cardiff property deserves house painters who understand its unique requirements. Call 02922710084 to discuss your home.
