What exterior painting involves, what to check before hiring in Norwich, and how our scoring helps you compare 10 local painters.
Exterior painting covers more than a fresh coat of colour. A good job starts with washing the walls, scraping flaking paint, sanding back, repairing rot in window frames and fascias, filling cracks, and priming bare patches. Only then does the masonry paint, gloss or wood stain go on. In Norwich, that often means dealing with damp-prone Victorian brickwork and render, timber sash windows, and weathered soffits and bargeboards.
When comparing the 10 painters listed here, look for a clear written quote that names the prep work, the number of coats and the paint brand. Ask about scaffolding or tower access for anything above the ground floor, whether they carry public liability insurance, and how they handle rain delays. Photos of finished exterior work from a few years back tell you more than a fresh job does.
Our scoring is there to save you the legwork of sifting through listings. It weighs the evidence we have for each business so you can see who stands out. You can read how it works on the methodology page, or go straight to the ranked guide to the best painters in Norwich to see the current order.
