External Masonry and Wall Coatings for Stone, Brick and Rendered Walls

Breathable, weatherproof masonry coatings that seal and refresh stone, brick and rendered walls.

External masonry coatings give traditional stone, brick and rendered walls a durable, protective finish that stands up to the South West Scotland climate. Unlike a standard exterior paint, a specialist masonry coating is breathable, allowing moisture to escape from the wall rather than becoming trapped behind the finish, which is exactly what older and period properties need. Trapped moisture is what causes render to blow, paint to flake and damp to travel, so getting the coating system right matters as much as the colour. Ricky prepares every wall thoroughly before a drop of coating goes on: cleaning down algae, moss and loose material, treating problem areas, raking out and repairing perished pointing or cracked render, and sealing porous surfaces so the coating bonds properly. Boundary walls, downpipes and gutters can all be treated as part of the same job so the whole exterior reads as one considered finish. A properly applied masonry coating protects the fabric of the building and refreshes its appearance for years, not months, and that is only possible when the preparation underneath is done properly.

Give traditional stone, brick and rendered walls a durable, protective finish with specialist external masonry coatings. Ideal for older and period properties across South West Scotland, masonry paint helps seal and weatherproof exterior walls while refreshing their appearance. Ricky cleans down each surface, treats problem areas and repairs defects before applying breathable, long-lasting coatings that stand up to the local climate. Downpipes, gutters and boundary walls can all be treated as part of the job.
