Exterior Painting
Higher Bartle has a special mix of Victorian homes and country houses. This makes exterior painting here different from other areas. Our local weather patterns need special painting methods to protect these beautiful buildings.
Variety of Building Styles
The village features many different building styles. You'll find grand Victorian houses with detailed bay windows and cornices. There are also cozy English cottages with natural stone walls. Each type of building needs its own special paint treatment. For example, brick walls need breathable masonry paint, while wooden parts need specific wood coatings.
Impact of Weather
Weather plays a big role in how we paint. We get lots of rain and changing humidity levels throughout the year. That's why we use tough, water-resistant paints like Dulux Weathershield and Sandtex masonry coatings. These paints stand up to our local weather while keeping homes looking beautiful.
Preparation Process
Before painting, we always start with pressure washing. This removes any algae and dirt that builds up in our damp climate. Victorian homes need extra care, especially their detailed woodwork. We carefully scrape, sand, and prime these areas to make sure the paint sticks well without damaging any historical features.
Color Choices
Colors tend to match our village's traditional look. Many homeowners choose heritage colors that look good with our local surroundings. Soft creams and greys are popular for rendered walls. Deeper earth colors work well on exposed brick. These choices help keep our village looking unified while protecting homes from the weather.
Expertise in Painting Techniques
Our painters know both old and new painting techniques. This is important because we work on both historic buildings and modern homes. Whatever type of home we're painting, we focus on making the paint last while keeping Higher Bartle's special character.

Popular Choices for Older Homes
In older homes, heritage-style neutral colors are very popular. Farrow & Ball's "Pointing" is a favorite for outside walls. This gentle white gives homes a classic look that fits well with local buildings. Inside, many people choose Dulux's "Egyptian Cotton." It's warm and works well in any room, especially in homes with wooden beams.
Trends in Newer Homes
The newer homes in Northwest Preston often use modern grey colors. Many pick Farrow & Ball's "Cornforth White" because it changes beautifully in different light. Little Greene's "Dark Lead" is becoming more popular for feature walls. It gives a bold look while staying elegant.
Natural Colors Inside
Natural colors are common inside homes, matching the countryside setting. Sage Green works well in farmhouse kitchens. Soft olive creates peaceful living rooms. Most people like Matte paint for a modern look. But in busy areas, they use Soft Sheen paint because it's easier to clean.
Woodwork and Finishes
For woodwork, many pair neutral walls with white trim like Farrow & Ball's "Wevet." This creates clean lines while keeping original features looking good. In kitchens and bathrooms, Semi-Gloss Heritage Colors work best. They resist moisture and look stylish.
Classic Two-Tone Walls
In Victorian houses, two-tone walls are still popular. People often use lighter colors above dado rails and darker ones below. This classic style honors the home's history while making rooms more interesting.
Consider these color trends for your home transformation!
Additional Services
Specialist Services for External Woodwork
Many homes in our semi-rural area need extra care for their external woodwork. The wet weather and high humidity can damage fences, decks, and garden structures. We use special stains and weatherproofing treatments that work well in our local conditions.
Breathable Paints for Older Properties
Older properties often have traditional building materials that need to breathe. We know how to handle this. We use breathable paints that let moisture escape while keeping your home's unique character.
Protection for Garden Buildings
We take care of garden buildings too. Your shed, summer house, or workshop needs protection from our harsh weather. Our treatments keep these outdoor spaces looking good and weatherproof all year round.
Care for Metal Guttering and Downpipes
Metal guttering and downpipes need special attention in our area. We use anti-rust treatments and special paints to stop them from wearing down in our damp climate.
Addressing Damp Patches and Water Stains
Damp patches and water stains are common problems here. We fix these using stain-blocking primers and special treatments. This is especially important for north-facing walls, which get the worst of the weather.

Local Experts
Unique Challenges
Higher Bartle's location creates unique challenges. The open countryside and strong westerly winds can affect exterior paintwork. This is especially true for homes along Bartle Lane and those facing open fields.
Types of Homes We Work On
We work on all types of local homes. From historic farmhouses to new executive properties, we know how each one handles Lancashire's wet climate. With yearly rainfall over 950mm and high winter humidity, choosing the right approach is crucial.
Impact of Clay Soil
The clay soil affects how older homes move and settle. This can cause paint problems, particularly in pre-1950 buildings. We use special flexible paints and preparation methods to prevent cracking and peeling.
Experience Near Bartle Hall Country Hotel
Our work near Bartle Hall Country Hotel has taught us a lot. Many local homes share similar features with this historic building. We take extra care with details like cornicing, dado rails, and original plasterwork.
Challenges from Proximity to M55
Being close to the M55 brings specific challenges. Road salt and pollution can damage exterior paintwork. We choose tough, long-lasting products that protect homes while looking great.
Attention to New Homes
New homes need special attention too. Modern insulation systems affect how paint works. We make sure there's proper ventilation to prevent condensation problems in energy-efficient homes.
Matching Local Tastes
Our experience in Higher Bartle helps us match local tastes perfectly. We blend heritage colors that suit the rural setting with modern touches. This gives homes lasting protection against Lancashire weather while keeping their unique character.
