Exterior painting near Kinsealy-Drinan

Exterior painting: what the job involves

Painting the outside of a house — rendered or pebble-dashed walls, fascia, soffits, windows, doors and railings — with the access equipment needed to reach them safely. Irish weather makes preparation and timing as important as the paint.

How long it takes: Three days to a week for a typical semi-detached house in dry weather; rain, a lot of render repair or a full scaffold add days.

The full guide to exterior painting — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

Height of the house and the access needed: ladders, tower, scaffold or cherry picker
Wall area and the surface — smooth render, pebble-dash, brick or stone
Condition: cracks, loose paint, algae and repairs needed first
Woodwork, windows, doors and railings included or not
Number of colours
Paint system and number of coats
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
