Conservatory Painting in Cardiff

UPVC is the most common conservatory frame material across Cardiff. White UPVC installed in the 1990s and early 2000s yellows with UV exposure. For homeowners in Cyncoed, Radyr, and Rhiwbina wanting to update a structurally sound conservatory, respraying is the practical option — replacement costs £5,000–£20,000 or more.

We clean and degrease all UPVC profiles, abrade lightly for adhesion, apply a UPVC adhesion primer, and finish with two spray coats of exterior paint. The most common colour change is from old white to anthracite grey or dark charcoal.

Older conservatories on Cardiff properties from the 1970s and 1980s — particularly larger detached homes in Cyncoed, Lisvane, and Llandaff — are often aluminium-framed. Aluminium requires a different primer to UPVC, and the more intricate sections and jointing demand careful masking. We allow additional preparation time for aluminium structures.

Victorian and Edwardian properties in Pontcanna, Canton, and Penarth sometimes have original timber lean-to conservatories or period-style timber extensions. Timber frames require stripping back flaking paint, sanding, priming with an exterior wood primer, and two coats of exterior paint or specialist timber coating. Penarth properties face persistent wet conditions from the Bristol Channel and need a durable, flexible finish.

Many Cardiff conservatories sit on a rendered or brick dwarf wall. We paint this as part of the same project to complete the overall refresh. Combined conservatory, window frame painting, and render painting projects are more cost-effective than separate visits.
