Roof and wall coatings

Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Older solid walls
Older homes with solid walls need to let moisture out. Ask whether a coating is breathable, as one that isn't can trap damp in the wall.
Preparation
Ask what preparation is included before the coating goes on, such as cleaning, moss removal and repairs to cracks.
Dry weather
Coatings need dry weather to go on and set. Ask the installer how the weather could affect the dates.
Questions
Weather coating questions
My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?
Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.
What jobs can I request quotes for here?
Roof coatings and wall coatings. The full list is in the form's first step.
Do I need consent to coat the walls of a listed building?
You may. In England, a listed building needs listed building consent for any significant works, inside or out. Your council's planning team can advise.
Is a roof coating the same as a new roof?
No. A coating seals and protects the surface of a roof that is still sound. It won't fix broken tiles, rotten timbers or a roof that needs replacing, so have the roof inspected first if you're not sure.
What should I ask about a wall coating?
What it is made of, whether it lets the wall breathe, what preparation and repairs are in the price, and how long the installer expects it to last.
