Types of Masonry We Paint in Cardiff
Red Brick
Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces are built predominantly with red brick. After 100+ years of exposure to rain and pollution, these bricks need careful treatment with period property painting expertise. We deep clean to remove built-up dirt, then apply breathable masonry paint that prevents bubbling and peeling. Our brushing technique works paint into the brick’s texture while maintaining that classic Cardiff street character.
Painted Render
Modern homes and renovated properties typically feature painted render—either traditional lime render (older properties) or modern cement/polymer systems (newer builds). We identify your render type and select compatible flexible paints that move with temperature changes without cracking. After repairing cracks and stabilizing the surface with proper wall painting techniques, we apply the right primer and high-performance topcoat.
Bath Stone
Found in Cardiff’s grandest buildings—Cathays Park and city centre civic buildings—this honey-coloured limestone requires gentle treatment. We clean carefully to preserve natural texture, then use mineral-based paints that bond with the stone while allowing it to breathe naturally in Cardiff’s damp climate.
Blue Pennant Stone
This distinctive blue-grey sandstone from the South Wales valleys appears in Cardiff’s historic buildings and garden walls. Its dense, smooth surface requires mechanical preparation for proper paint adhesion. We use high-build masonry paints that maintain the stone’s characteristic colour while providing durable protection.

Other Stone Types
Cardiff properties also feature local Radyr stone and various imported stones. Each requires specific treatment—gentle cleaning for porous sandstones, stronger preparation for dense limestone. We match the right paint system to each stone type, protecting while preserving natural character.
Our Masonry Painting Process
Free Survey and Detailed Quote
We inspect your masonry condition, identify materials, and spot any underlying issues. Your written quote includes materials, labour, prep work, specific paints, and timeline—no hidden costs.
Professional Surface Preparation
We clean walls appropriately for each surface type, remove loose material, moss, algae, and flaking paint. Cracks are repaired with compatible materials—lime mortar for period properties, modern compounds for newer builds. Damaged pointing is fixed before painting begins.
Priming and Sealing
Primers are matched to your masonry: penetrating primers for porous stones like Bath stone, high-grip primers for dense surfaces. Each coat is properly cured before topcoat application.
Expert Paint Application
We select the right technique for each surface—brushes for textured areas, rollers for smooth renders, spray equipment for large sections. Multiple coats are applied with adequate drying time, and we only work in suitable weather conditions.
Final Inspection and Handover
Supervisors check for even coverage, clean edges, and quality finish. Any touch-ups are completed immediately. We clean the site thoroughly and provide maintenance advice for long-term protection.
