Interior Painting
Living rooms in Fleetwood need special care because of our seaside location. Many homes have large bay windows that affect how we choose and apply paint. The natural light from these windows requires specific painting techniques.
Kitchens are another key area for painting in local homes. Many have traditional layouts that need paint that can handle moisture and daily wear. We often repaint cabinets, especially in older homes. This can save money compared to replacing them.
Our Local Houses
Fleetwood has different types of homes, each with their own painting needs. In the town centre, Victorian houses have detailed plasterwork and tall ceilings. These need special preparation and painting methods. Post-war homes have different wall types that need their own approach.
Older homes often have traditional plaster walls that need extra care. We fix cracks and make sure the surface is stable before painting. Many houses have decorative cornices and ceiling roses that need careful attention.
Choosing the Right Paint
Being near the sea affects what paint works best. We use high-quality, moisture-resistant paints, especially for homes close to the seafront. Many residents now prefer low-VOC paints that are better for your health.
We use special paints for different areas:
- Anti-mould paints for bathrooms and kitchens
- Breathable paints for old plaster walls
- Tough paints for busy areas

Exterior Painting
Living by the sea in Fleetwood creates special challenges for painting your home's exterior. Our town has many different types of houses. You'll find Victorian terraces near The Mount and pretty seaside cottages along the promenade. Each home needs its own special painting approach.
The Sea's Impact
Fleetwood's coastal location means your paint has to work harder. The salty air from the Irish Sea can damage regular paint quickly. Our high rainfall and humid weather also take their toll. That's why we use special paints like Dulux Weathershield or Johnstone's Stormshield. These paints are made to last in seaside conditions.
Different Homes, Different Needs
Local houses have many types of outer walls. Many post-war semi-detached homes have pebbledash walls. These need flexible masonry paints that let the walls breathe. Victorian homes, especially around Poulton Road, often have detailed woodwork. These need oil-based primers and strong acrylic topcoats to keep water out.
Protecting Our Heritage
The historic homes near Marine Hall need extra care when painting. We choose colors that respect their history while protecting against weather damage. Popular choices include soft greys, gentle blues, and warm creams. These colors match our seaside setting and stand up well to coastal weather.
We use special treatments to protect against salt and mold. These extra steps help your paint job last longer in our challenging seaside climate. This way, your home stays protected and keeps its charm for years to come.

Popular Exterior Colours
For outside walls, light coastal colours are always popular. Many homeowners choose muted shades that suit both the seaside location and their home's traditional style.
- Duck-Egg Blue
- Seafoam Green
Interior Colour Inspiration
Inside, many homes take their colour ideas from the Irish Sea views. Living rooms often start with warm neutral colours like soft grey or ivory white. These calm base colours work well with coastal-themed accent shades. They also make the most of the natural light from bay windows, which are common in local homes.
Heritage Colour Schemes
Victorian houses look best with heritage colour schemes that respect their history. Many owners highlight original features using contrast. They paint cornices and ceiling roses in bright white, while using deeper colours for walls. This creates a striking look that suits these historic homes.
Modern Colour Trends
Modern homes in Fleetwood often use contemporary grey colour schemes. These newer properties typically have dark anthracite on the outside and lighter shades inside. This modern style still fits well with Fleetwood's traditional building designs.
Feature Walls
Feature walls are still very popular across Fleetwood, especially in living rooms and bedrooms. Many people choose bold patterns with plants or geometric shapes that fit the coastal theme. These striking walls look best when the other walls use calmer, matching colours.
Consider refreshing your home with these beautiful colour ideas!
Additional Services
Protection for Outdoor Structures
Living by the Irish Sea means wooden fences and decks take a beating from strong winds and rain. We use special marine-grade coatings and weather-resistant stains to protect these outdoor structures. These products are chosen specifically for Fleetwood's coastal climate.
Combatting Moss and Algae Growth
Damp winters often lead to moss and algae growth on buildings. We start with thorough cleaning, including pressure washing and anti-mould treatments. This proper preparation helps your new paint last longer and saves you money over time.
Waterproofing Services
For homes near the Wyre estuary, we offer special waterproofing services. We apply protective coatings to shield ground-level surfaces from flood risks. We also protect metal gates and railings from rust - very important here as salty air quickly damages metal.
Garage Door Refinishing
Garage doors need extra care due to salt damage and moisture. We refinish both wooden and metal garage doors. We use strong primers and top coats made especially for coastal areas.
Exterior Repairs
Strong winds and rain can cause cracks and damage to your property's exterior. We carefully repair these problems before painting. This ensures a smooth finish that protects your home from further weather damage.

Local Experts
Challenges of Living by the Sea
Living by the sea brings special challenges for homeowners. Fleetwood gets about 1,100mm of rain each year, and salty winds from the Irish Sea can damage paint quickly. The high moisture in the air also affects how paint sticks and dries. We've created special methods that work perfectly in Fleetwood's weather.
Expert Care for All Types of Homes
We know how to care for all types of homes in Fleetwood. The Victorian terraces near The Mount, where many older residents live, need different care than newer family homes. We're experts at keeping the historic look of houses in Conservation Areas while protecting them from coastal weather.
Unique Problems for Local Houses
Fleetwood's location at the mouth of the River Wyre creates unique problems for houses. About 65% of homes here are affected by sea spray. We use special marine-grade paints that last 40% longer than normal paint in these conditions.
Understanding Homeownership in Fleetwood
Most people in Fleetwood (66%) own their homes. We've shaped our services to help both busy families and retirees keep their properties looking great. Many homes in central Fleetwood were built in Victorian times, and we know exactly how to care for these older buildings.
Local Knowledge and Experience
Years of working on local homes has taught us what works best in our climate. We know how the seaside weather, with cold winters (around 3°C) and mild summers (up to 19°C), affects paint. This local knowledge means we can protect your home while keeping its charm in our unique coastal setting.
