Exterior Painting
Longridge is a beautiful town next to Longridge Fell. The buildings here range from old Victorian houses to modern homes. Each type needs its own special painting approach.
Adapting to the Local Climate
Longridge gets lots of rain and moisture because it's near the Ribble Valley. To protect homes here, we use:
- Special primers that fight moisture

Heritage and Modern Considerations
Many buildings around Berry Lane are protected historic sites. These need careful treatment:
- Special lime-based paints for older buildings
- Paints that let old stonework breathe
- Colors that match the town's historic look
Material-Specific Approaches
Different building materials need different painting methods:
- Sandstone Surfaces
- Gentle cleaning to protect the stone
- Special paints that let moisture escape
- Extra care in preparing surfaces
- Modern Renders
- Thick paints to match wall texture
- Coatings that repel water
- Paints that won't fade in sunlight
- Traditional Woodwork

Heritage Colours in Older Properties
In older properties, especially along Berry Lane, heritage colours are the most popular choice. People often pick deep, rich shades like Farrow & Ball's "Elephant's Breath" and "Pointing". These colours work perfectly with original features and local sandstone buildings. They help create a smooth flow from outside to inside.
Bold Choices for Victorian and Edwardian Homes
Victorian and Edwardian homes are seeing more bold colour choices. Many owners use deep jewel tones for feature walls. These dramatic colours show off original fireplaces and decorative details beautifully. Dark colours are also popular for woodwork, with many people choosing deep navy blues and forest greens for stairs and door frames.
Modern Colour Schemes
Modern Longridge homes use different colour schemes entirely. They favour clean looks with sophisticated neutrals. Warm greys and soft taupes create a current feel while still connecting to the local surroundings. These homes often use colour-blocking with Matte paints for a professional finish.
Nature-Inspired Colours
Nature-inspired colours are loved across all types of homes, reflecting Longridge's countryside setting. Sage Greens, warm ochres, and natural neutrals help bring the outdoors inside. These shades create a peaceful feeling and work especially well in sunny rooms.
Stylish Kitchens and Bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms are both practical and stylish. Many choose deep, matte colours for cabinets and lighter shades for walls. Even modern homes often include traditional-style tiles and fittings, keeping a link to Longridge's heritage.
Exterior Colour Choices
For exterior colours, Lancashire's weather plays a big part in choices. People want durable finishes that still look good. Old stone houses often have bold-coloured doors and windows. Modern homes tend to use softer colours that blend well with the town's historic areas.
If you're looking to transform your home with these beautiful colour choices, consider reaching out for a consultation!

Local Experts
Challenges of Local Homes
Our location at the foot of Longridge Fell creates special challenges for local homes. The high elevation of 138 meters and heavy rainfall of 1,200mm per year mean we need to be experts in handling moisture problems. We've created special methods to tackle damp issues in both old stone cottages and modern homes across our community of 8,000 people.
Expertise in Older Properties
We're experts in handling unique properties, especially older homes built before 1919. These make up 35% of local houses. We're particularly good at working with our town's famous sandstone buildings. These need special breathable paints to stop moisture damage while keeping their historic look.
Weather Considerations
Longridge Fell's weather affects how we paint exteriors. The strong winds and changing temperatures mean we must choose tough products that last. We use special flexible coatings that can handle our unique weather while keeping homes looking beautiful.
Modern Solutions for Newer Homes
For newer homes, like those on Barnacre Road, we use modern methods and materials. These work well with new building styles and protect against our harsh weather. We're also skilled at fixing problems in more exposed areas, where wind-driven rain can cause issues.
Comprehensive Understanding
We understand both old and new properties. This means we can offer the right solution for every home in our community. Whether you have a listed building that needs careful restoration or a modern home needing contemporary finishes, our local knowledge ensures lasting, quality results.
