Interior House Painting
Our interior painters paint single rooms or complete house interiors across Sunderland.
Rooms We Paint
Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, dining rooms.
Walls and Ceilings
High Victorian ceilings need different techniques than modern rooms. We handle uneven plaster and contemporary surfaces properly.
Woodwork
Skirting boards, door frames, windows, and staircases get thorough prep for smooth, lasting finishes.
Period Features
Victorian homes in Ashbrooke often have cornicing, picture rails, and decorative plasterwork. We protect these features while refreshing rooms. Properties in conservation areas should check Sunderland City Council guidance.
Exterior House Painting
Sunderland’s coastal location means salt air from the North Sea plus 759mm annual rainfall. House painters choose exterior systems that withstand these conditions.
Surfaces We Paint
Masonry, render, soffits, fascias, window frames, doors, garden walls, outbuildings, gutters, downpipes.
Coastal-Resistant Systems
Salt particles from coastal winds cause standard paint to bubble and peel. We use Dulux Weathershield and Sandtex Trade – engineered for coastal environments. Properties in Roker, Seaburn, and Fulwell face increased salt exposure. Premium systems last 8-10 years versus 3-5 years for standard paint.
Long-Term Weather Resistance
Coastal properties need extra prep. We remove existing salt deposits and contamination before applying new coatings.
Sunderland Property Types
Professional house painters adapt techniques for different property types. Sunderland’s diverse housing stock requires this approach.
Victorian and Edwardian Terraces
Common in Ashbrooke (wide tree-lined streets with grand architectural details) and Hendon (mix of Victorian and modern properties). Solid walls with lime plaster need breathable paint systems. Modern acrylic paints trap moisture and cause damp.
Traditional Sunderland Cottages
Single-storey terraced homes with lower rooflines and unique construction requiring adapted techniques.
Modern New Builds
Developments like Doxford Green feature contemporary open-plan homes with plasterboard walls, UPVC trim, and modern render. These suit standard modern paint systems.
Coastal Properties
Homes in Roker and Seaburn face salt-laden air requiring specialist exterior paints and more frequent maintenance schedules.
Why Hire Professional House Painters
Longer-Lasting Results
Proper prep and application: 5-10 years for interiors, 8-10 years for quality exteriors. DIY often needs redoing within 1-2 years.
Fix Problems First
We identify damp, rot, or failing render before painting. Sunderland’s coastal climate makes this crucial.
Save Time
We complete in days what takes you weeks. No equipment hire or cleanup stress.
