Exterior Painting
Our local weather shapes how we paint homes in Longton. We get about 850mm of rain each year, plus changing humidity levels. This means we need special approaches to protect your home's exterior.
Painting Historic Homes
Many homes here are Victorian or Edwardian, with beautiful old brickwork and detailed windows. We use special paints like Dulux Weathershield and Johnstone's Stormshield for these homes. These paints work well in Staffordshire's damp weather and protect your home's special features.
Different Surfaces Need Different Care
- Pebbledash walls need special painting methods
- Old brick walls need paints that let them breathe
- Wooden details need oil-based paints to last longer
Working With Our Weather
Our local weather affects how paint works on your home:
- High humidity means paint needs more time to dry
- Temperature changes mean we need flexible paints
- Regular rain means we use extra-strong waterproofing
We use special methods like wet-edge painting to avoid marks and make sure the paint sticks well to all surfaces.
Colors That Match Our Heritage
Many homeowners choose colors that fit with Longton's history:
- Soft creams and warm grays for main walls
- Deep greens and burgundies for special details
- Traditional gray shades for windows and edges
This careful approach helps keep Longton's special character while protecting homes from our local weather. Good exterior painting doesn't just maintain your home - it helps preserve our town's history for years to come.

Traditional Colour Schemes
Around Dresden, pre-war semi-detached homes keep traditional colour schemes. Outside, white pebbledash with black trim on doors and windows is common. Inside, many homes now showcase mid-century modern colours with warm, earthy tones.
Modern Approaches
New suburban homes take a more modern approach. Outside walls often have light pebble-grey renders with darker details. Inside, many choose bright Scandinavian-inspired whites and soft greys. These colours help make rooms feel bigger and brighter.
Feature Walls
Feature walls are a big trend in Longton homes, especially in living rooms and bedrooms. Many people pick bold colours like navy or emerald green to create eye-catching walls. These strong colours work really well in Victorian houses with their tall ceilings.
Exterior Paint Choices
Longton's wet weather affects exterior paint choices. Many choose durable heritage masonry colours like soft whites, creams, and light greys. These match the town's look perfectly. Low-sheen, weatherproof finishes are popular as they protect against rain while looking great.
Interior Colour Preferences
Inside, homeowners love natural, earthy colours. Sage Green, warm terracotta, and blush pinks are very popular. These colours create peaceful, welcoming spaces that reflect local craft traditions.
These thoughtful colour choices make local homes beautiful while honouring our town's special character and history. If you're looking to transform your home with these stunning colours, let us help you create a space that truly reflects your style!

Understanding Local Conditions
We've spent years working on all types of local homes. Our area's high humidity levels of 75-80% mean we need special painting methods to protect your home properly.
Specialty in Historic Homes

We're just as skilled with modern homes. In areas like Blurton and Dresden, we use eco-friendly paints and modern techniques on new builds. We know many young families live here, so we choose low-VOC paints and tough finishes that last through daily use.
