Two bays and North Sea weather
Seafront render, windows and railings face salt and wind from the North Sea, so painters spend time washing, scraping and repairing before repainting, usually from scaffolding.
Guest houses and holiday lets are typically redecorated outside the summer season, and the old town's steep lanes make access tricky.

Painting outside in Yorkshire and the Humber: weather and permissions
Yorkshire ranges from the wetter Pennine towns in the west to the drier, breezier Humber estuary in the east. Gritstone and sandstone houses are common in the west and are generally left unpainted, so exterior work there centres on woodwork, doors and rendered extensions, while brick and rendered homes dominate further east.
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.
