Victorian terraces and bay-fronted streets
Cardiff's terraces typically have bay windows, decorative stone or painted surrounds and small front gardens. Exterior repaints usually cover the bay, sills, front door and any painted render, and many owners choose bold colours for the door.
Cathays and Roath have a large student population, so landlords book decorators every summer, while families in Whitchurch, Llanishen and Rhiwbina are more likely to want full interior redecorations and exterior work on render and fascias.

Painting outside in Wales: weather and permissions
Wales has high rainfall, particularly in the valleys and uplands, and many exposed coastal towns. Exterior painting needs a run of dry days, and pebble-dashed and rendered terraces on steep streets often need scaffolding or towers. Brightly painted render is a tradition in many Welsh towns, so colour choice is part of the job.
Repainting in the existing colour rarely needs permission, but listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas covered by an Article 4 direction, can need consent to paint the front or change its colour. More on exterior painting.
