80% Preparation, 20% Application: The Secret to Long-Lasting Paint
Painting over dusty, moldy render or damp cracks is why amateur paint jobs peel after just one wet winter. Paint cannot bond to dead organic spores or crumbling sand-cement plaster. When moisture gets trapped behind an impermeable paint skin, it blisters and blows the coating completely off your walls.
Elevate Roofing & Building treats exterior painting as a protective barrier system. We wash, kill biological spores with biocide, rake and fill all hairline settling cracks with elastomeric polymers, and apply breathable masonry coatings:
- Exterior All-Weather Silicone Masonry Coatings: Applying premium Dulux Weathershield, Fleetwood Weather Clad, or Sandtex Extreme coatings that repel driving rain while allowing trapped wall humidity to breathe outward safely.
- Algae Sterilisation & Pressure Wash Preparation: Pre-treating exterior facades with DDAC fungicidal wash to permanently kill red, green, and black spores deep inside render pores before painting.
- Exterior Woodwork & Metal Restoration: Sanding, priming, and weatherproofing timber fascia boards, soffits, front doors, gates, and iron railings with oil-based high-gloss or satin enamels.
- Precision Interior Decorating: Dustless vacuum sanding, drywall taping, stain-blocking primers, and velvety wipe-clean emulsions for bedrooms, stairwells, and renovated kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions
In wet Atlantic coastal conditions, breathable silicone-enhanced masonry paints (such as Dulux Weathershield Ultimate or Fleetwood Weather Clad) perform best. They feature micro-porous technology that blocks exterior driving rain while allowing interior water vapor to escape, preventing paint bubbling and flaking.
Never paint directly over algae. We apply a professional biocide wash that penetrates the render pores and kills the root spore structure. We then gentle power rinse the dead residue away and allow the walls to dry thoroughly before priming and painting.
We apply a dedicated stabilizing primer to bare or chalky patches, followed by two full, unthinned coats of heavy-duty exterior masonry paint to build a resilient, weather-resistant film thickness that lasts 10 to 15 years.
