Bristol's colourful terraces are among the most photographed houses in the country, and keeping them bright means regular exterior painting – often on steep hillsides with tricky access.

Bright render on steep streets
In Totterdown, Cliftonwood and Windmill Hill, rendered terraces are often painted in strong colours. Masonry paint in bright shades can need extra coats for even coverage, and the rear elevations of hillside houses usually need scaffolding.
Clifton and Hotwells have listed Georgian and Regency buildings, where traditional colours, breathable paints and careful work on ironwork and sashes are expected. Check with the council before changing colours on listed or conservation-area homes.

Weather and timing in South West England
The South West is mild but wet, with Atlantic weather reaching Devon and Cornwall first. Masonry needs a dry spell before it is painted, and coastal homes face salt and driving rain, so breathable masonry paints and well-prepared woodwork make a real difference. Bath stone and Cotswold stone are usually left unpainted.

Exterior painting in Bristol: common questions
Will a bright colour need more coats?
