FAQ
Yes, at Capital Painter, we’re pleased to offer complimentary, no-obligation estimates for all our exterior painting services in London. Our experienced specialists will visit your property to carefully evaluate your project’s requirements, discuss your specific needs, and answer any questions you may have. Following this consultation, we will provide you with a detailed written estimate, clearly outlining the scope of work, materials, timelines, and associated costs. This ensures full transparency and helps you make an informed decision before proceeding.
Yes, Capital Painter holds comprehensive public liability insurance provided by Aviva. Our extensive insurance coverage ensures complete peace of mind, protecting both our team and your property during all painting projects. Upon acceptance of our quotation, we will gladly provide you with a copy of our insurance policy for your records and reassurance. If you have any additional questions regarding our insurance or services, please don’t hesitate to ask—we’re always happy to help!
Yes, at Capital Painter, we stand by the quality of our exterior painting services and are pleased to offer a comprehensive 3-year warranty covering our workmanship. Our guarantee ensures that your project is delivered to the highest standards, free from mistakes or defects resulting from our workmanship. Should any issues related to our painting services arise within this warranty period, we will promptly address and rectify them at no additional cost. Our commitment is your complete satisfaction and lasting results.
Since every home is unique, each exterior painting project requires individual consideration, making it challenging to provide a fixed price without assessing your property first. At Capital Painter, our pricing depends on various factors, such as the size, shape, current condition, and type of exterior surfaces of your home. For your convenience, we can offer a rough estimate if you’re able to email us a clear photograph of your property. However, to provide an accurate, detailed, and transparent written quotation, we recommend scheduling an on-site visit where we can inspect your home thoroughly. Please contact us to arrange a convenient time—we’d be delighted to assist you further.
The duration of an exterior painting project varies depending on several factors, including the size and condition of your property, as well as the number of painters assigned to the job. At Capital Painter, most residential exterior painting projects are completed within 2 to 3 weeks. However, larger or more complex homes may require additional time to ensure the highest quality finish. Once we assess your property, we’ll provide a more accurate timeline as part of our detailed quotation. Our goal is always to complete the work efficiently, with minimal disruption and exceptional results.
Yes, we absolutely can. At Capital Painter, we have extensive experience working on terraced and semi-detached properties, and we’re fully equipped to paint just one side or section of a home as requested. That said, for aesthetic consistency—particularly with adjoining properties—we do recommend coordinating with your neighbours when possible. A unified exterior can significantly enhance curb appeal and preserve the overall visual harmony of the building. However, we’re happy to work with whatever arrangement suits you best and will ensure a clean, professional finish regardless of the scope.
Yes, we can. At Capital Painter, we take great care in properly preparing all exterior surfaces before applying any paint. Flaking or peeling areas are thoroughly scraped back to a sound surface, then expertly filled, stabilised, and primed to ensure optimal adhesion and durability. Our meticulous preparation process is essential to achieving a smooth, long-lasting finish, and we always adhere to the highest industry standards. You can trust us to restore your exterior walls with both precision and professionalism.
Yes, we can. As part of our exterior painting service, all visible cracks in your property’s walls will be carefully inspected and thoroughly filled using high-quality, durable fillers appropriate for the surface type. Proper crack repair is a vital step in our preparation process, ensuring not only a smooth and attractive finish but also helping to prevent moisture ingress and further deterioration over time. At Capital Painter, we prioritise lasting results and structural integrity, so you can feel confident your home is in expert hands.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this. Structural cracks in your walls can be caused by a number of reasons that are out of our control. Natural house movement, proximity to underground train lines and main roads that cause vibrations, quality of render and materials initially used are all underlying causes of possible structural cracks. Should you have a recurring problem, we will provide a heavily discounted solution to our clients.
There is simply no single answer to this question. These days most high quality commercially sold brands provides the same longevity.

Yes, we do our best to match your existing exterior colour upon request. To achieve the most accurate result, we kindly ask that you provide us with the exact paint brand, colour name, or colour code. This information ensures we can replicate the shade as closely as possible. If you’re unsure of the original colour, our team can also assist in finding a close match using professional colour-matching tools. At Capital Painter, we understand how important colour consistency is to the overall appearance of your home, and we’re committed to delivering a seamless finish you’ll be happy with.
Yes, you are welcome to supply your own paint if you prefer. However, at Capital Painter, we typically recommend and work with trusted, high-quality brands that we know deliver durable and consistent results. If you choose to provide your own materials, we’ll gladly accommodate your request, but please note that the use of lower-grade or budget paints may affect the longevity of the finish and may not be covered under our standard workmanship guarantee. We’re happy to advise you on suitable paint choices to ensure the best outcome for your project.
Yes, we can fully organise scaffolding for your property as part of our exterior painting service. We work with trusted, professional London-based scaffolding suppliers, including ACE Scaffolding Services Ltd, to ensure safe, reliable, and properly installed access solutions. By managing this aspect of the project for you, we help streamline the process and maintain high safety standards throughout the job. All scaffolding will be tailored to the specific requirements of your property and set up in full compliance with health and safety regulations.
Yes, scaffold netting can be supplied and installed upon request. If you would like netting to be included—whether for added safety, debris containment, or to minimise dust—we kindly ask that you mention this during the quotation stage. This allows us to make the necessary arrangements with our scaffolding provider and ensure everything is in place before the work begins. At Capital Painter, we aim to accommodate all specific site requirements to ensure a safe and efficient project.
Yes, a professional scaffold alarm system can be installed if required. We work with ProSafe Security to provide reliable alarm solutions designed specifically for scaffolding structures. If you would like this added layer of protection—especially important for properties in high-traffic or urban areas—please let us know during the quotation process. The alarm installation is available at an additional cost and will be arranged to ensure your site remains secure throughout the duration of the project.
Yes, we can use the existing scaffold already erected around your property for roof work. However, it’s important that the scaffold is properly adapted and safe for exterior painting tasks. This may include ensuring adequate platforms, access points, and working space for our team. We recommend discussing these requirements with your scaffold supplier, who can make the necessary adjustments to meet the needs of a painting project. If needed, we’re happy to liaise with them directly to ensure everything is in place for a smooth and efficient workflow.
At Capital Painter, we prioritise the safety of our team and clients at all times. For this reason, we do not carry out any exterior painting work above ground level using ladders alone. Instead, we use appropriate access equipment such as scaffolding or mobile tower platforms, which provide a stable and secure working environment. This approach not only ensures compliance with health and safety regulations but also allows us to maintain the high quality and precision of our work. Your safety—and ours—is never compromised.
Yes, we can repair any areas of rot found on your window frames as part of our exterior windows painting service. Depending on the extent of the damage, we use high-quality wood fillers or the advanced Repair Care System—a professional-grade solution specifically designed for long-lasting timber restoration. Our team will carefully assess the condition of your window frames, remove any decayed material, and carry out the necessary repairs to restore structural integrity and prepare the surface for painting. This ensures not only a smooth and durable finish but also helps extend the life of your woodwork.
Yes, we can burn off old paint from your metal railings as part of our surface preparation process. As experienced railings painters, we understand the importance of proper preparation to ensure a long-lasting and flawless finish. Using controlled heat methods, we safely remove old layers of paint, rust, and debris to reveal a clean surface ready for priming and painting. This approach allows for superior adhesion of the new paint and enhances the durability and appearance of your railings. If you have specific concerns or requirements, we’re happy to discuss them during your consultation.
Yes, we can. As part of our exterior painting service, we will do our best to secure and tidy up any loose aerial or external cables. Our goal is to leave your property looking neat, organised, and visually appealing. While we are not electricians, we take great care in repositioning and concealing unsightly cables where possible, ensuring they are safely fastened and do not detract from the overall finish of your home’s exterior. If specific adjustments are needed, we’re happy to coordinate with your service providers as required.
Yes, we take great pride in maintaining a clean and respectful work environment throughout the project. Once the painting is complete, our team will ensure your property is left as clean and tidy as possible. All tools, materials, and debris will be cleared away, and any waste will be placed in the designated area agreed upon in advance. At Capital Painter, we believe a professional finish extends beyond the paintwork—it includes leaving your home looking orderly and well cared for.
