Sandstone villas, terraces and exposed exteriors in Greenock, Gourock and across Inverclyde, painted to stand up to the weather off the Clyde.
Greenock's West End and the streets behind the Esplanade are lined with Victorian sandstone villas and terraces: bay windows, bracketed eaves, panelled front doors and broad stone steps. The stone looks after itself, but the painted timber does not. Wind, rain and salt air off the Firth of Clyde are hard on exterior paint, so windows, doors and eaves here need attention sooner than on more sheltered streets.
We have repainted window frames, bay windows, eaves and front doors on houses like these in Greenock, and a white farmhouse with a conservatory in Gourock. Every job starts with preparation: scraping back to a sound surface, treating bare and weathered timber, priming and filling, then exterior paint that suits the surface. We keep paint off the stonework and leave sash windows opening as they should. There is more about how we work outside on our exterior painting page.

Yes. We work across Inverclyde: Greenock, Gourock, Port Glasgow, Inverkip, Wemyss Bay and Kilmacolm. We are based in Neilston and come out to look at the job and quote free of charge.
Late spring to early autumn, when the surfaces are dry and the temperature holds up. On exposed houses we watch the forecast, work round the building with the weather and never paint onto damp timber. Exterior work is worth booking early in the year.
