Seafront terraces and Old Town lanes
Seafront buildings take the brunt of Channel weather, and painted render, balconies and windows on the front need regular attention, usually from scaffolding organised for the whole building.
In the Old Town, steep twittens (narrow lanes) and steps make access hard, and many properties are listed with traditional finishes. Inside, period flats in St Leonards often have high ceilings and decorative plaster.

Exterior painting in South East England: what to plan for
The South East is one of the drier, sunnier parts of the UK, which gives decorators a decent window for exterior work from spring to early autumn. Coastal towns along the Channel are a different story: salt air and south-westerly winds are hard on render, timber windows and gloss, so seafront homes usually need repainting more often.
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.
