Surf coast and Taw estuary

Coastal homes face Atlantic wind and rain, so white-painted render and window frames need thorough preparation and regular repainting. Many holiday homes are redecorated in the quieter months.

In Barnstaple and Bideford, terraced streets and newer estates keep decorators busy with interior refreshes and exterior woodwork.

Barnstaple painting and decorating FAQs

Exterior painting in South West England: what to plan for

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.

Most homeowners can repaint the outside of their house without asking anyone. The exceptions are listed buildings and some conservation areas, where a change of colour or finish may need the council's approval. More on exterior painting.
