Painters in Duncraig.

Classic 1970s and 80s brick and tile, mostly on its second or third repaint.

The housing

What we're usually painting in Duncraig

Almost uniformly 1970s–80s brick-and-tile family homes on generous blocks, with mature gardens and a growing number of full rebuilds.

Common substrates

  • Face brick, much of it since painted
  • Cement sheet eaves and gable infill
  • Timber fascia and barge boards
  • Concrete roof tiles
  • Steel and timber pergolas

What the weather does here

A few kilometres inland, so light salt at most. Mature tree cover keeps a lot of Duncraig shaded, which slows UV damage and speeds up mould and lichen on southern walls and roofs.

Worth knowing

The Duncraig specific bit

Timber fascia and barge boards are the recurring problem in this stock. They were painted, not primed properly, and forty years of expansion has opened the joints. Replacing the worst lengths before painting costs less than repainting rotten timber twice, and we quote it as a separate line so the choice is visible.
