Interior Painting
Garstang has many different types of homes. These range from historic cottages to modern family houses. Each type needs special care when painting.
- Living rooms in older homes often have textured plaster walls. These need special preparation before painting.
- Our humid climate means kitchens need moisture-resistant paint, especially near the River Wyre.
- Bedrooms in Garstang often have exposed wooden beams. These need careful painting where the beams meet the walls.
- Victorian hallways have detailed coving and plasterwork that needs protection while painting.
Local Building Features
Older buildings need special attention. Many have lime-plaster walls that need breathable paint. Newer homes, like those in The Moorings, have modern drywall that allows different painting options.
Many local homes have timber frames. These need expert knowledge to paint properly. The town center's stone cottages often have uneven walls that need extra preparation.
Technical Details
Local weather affects how we paint. The high humidity means we need good ventilation when painting. Paint takes longer to dry here, especially in winter. Many painters prefer working in spring and autumn.
Older homes often have many layers of old paint or wallpaper. Some have horsehair plaster walls. These need special primers and preparation to make sure the new paint sticks properly.
How We Work
We start each project by checking the building's specific needs. Historic homes need careful work to protect their original features. Modern homes might need repairs to drywall seams.
Our painting process includes:
- Protecting period features
- Preparing different wall types properly
- Using the right painting method for each room
- Working with the weather for best results
What Homeowners Should Know
Many local homeowners want to keep their home's character while updating it. We balance modern paint technology with traditional methods. This is especially important in listed buildings and conservation areas.
Solutions for Garstang Homes
We use different approaches for different homes:
- Special moisture-resistant paints for damp areas
- Traditional lime paints for historic buildings

Exterior Painting
Garstang holds the honor of being the world's first Fairtrade Town. Our community features beautiful Victorian homes, Georgian buildings, and traditional stone cottages. Each of these needs special care when it comes to exterior painting.
The Impact of Local Weather
The local weather plays a big role in how we paint homes here. Garstang sees rain about 150 days each year, and the air stays quite humid. This means we need to use special moisture-resistant paints that let buildings breathe properly.
Tailored Painting Approaches
Different homes need different painting approaches. The Victorian houses along the River Wyre have detailed features and bay windows. These look best with two-tone paint schemes using heritage colors from brands like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene. For stone cottages, we often use traditional limewash. This helps preserve their history while protecting the stone.
Surface Preparation
Getting the surface ready is extra important in our damp climate. We start by pressure washing to remove algae and dirt that builds up in the humid air. We pay special attention to areas where brick or stone meets wood. These spots can easily trap moisture and need careful treatment.
Modern Homes and Materials
Modern homes often have pebbledash or rendered exteriors. For these, we use high-quality masonry paints like Dulux Weathershield or Johnstone's Stormshield. These paints stand up well to our wet weather and temperature changes.
Color Choices
Many homeowners choose earth-tone colors that match our surroundings near Bowland Forest. These natural colors look great and help keep Garstang's traditional feel. They also work well with modern weatherproofing techniques.
Conclusion
Our painting methods protect homes while keeping Garstang's special character alive. We combine time-tested techniques with modern materials to guard against Lancashire's challenging weather. If you're interested in enhancing your home's exterior, please reach out for more information!

Town Centre Properties
In the town centre, heritage properties look best with traditional colours. Warm neutrals like cream and taupe are popular choices. These shades work perfectly with local stone and make period features stand out.
Homes Near the Forest of Bowland
Homes near the Forest of Bowland often use nature-inspired colours. Deep forest greens and earth tones help bring the outside in. These colours look especially good in homes with exposed beams or stone walls.
Victorian Homes Along the River Wyre
Along the River Wyre, Victorian homes tend to use bolder colours. Navy blue and deep teal are common for feature walls. These darker shades work well with Victorian features like high ceilings and detailed cornicing.
Modern Homes Around The Moorings
The modern homes around The Moorings prefer contemporary neutrals. Light greys and warm beiges create fresh, bright spaces. These colours are versatile and make rooms feel open and welcoming.
Exterior Painting Considerations
For outside painting, homes in conservation areas need special consideration. Many use traditional two-tone schemes. This often means pairing darker colours like Burgundy or Forest Green with white or cream trim. These combinations protect homes while keeping Garstang's historic look.
Interior Finishes
Inside, most homeowners choose matte or eggshell finishes. Eggshell is great for busy areas because it's tough and easy to clean. Older properties often benefit from lime wash. This traditional finish lets old walls breathe and gives an authentic look.

Additional Services
Wood Protection
Wood protection is one of our most popular services. We use special treatments on fences, gates, and garden structures to guard against our wet weather. This is especially important for homes near the river, where we apply weather-resistant coatings and UV protection to help your wooden features last longer.
Mould and Algae Solutions
Mould and algae are common problems for local homeowners, particularly in winter. We tackle this with professional anti-mould treatments and special primers. For outside areas, we use weatherproof coatings that stop moss and algae from growing - a frequent issue in Lancashire's climate.
Surface Preparation
We don't just paint - we make sure your surfaces are properly prepared. Our services include:
- Fixing cracks and holes
- Professional plaster repairs
- Making uneven walls smooth
- Applying damp-proof treatments

Weather changes can be tough on your property. That's why we offer maintenance packages with regular touch-ups and protective treatments. This helps prevent problems like peeling paint and fading, which often happen due to our northwest weather.
