What painting issues are common in Stillorgan, Sandyford & Foxrock?

Newer homes often have drylined walls that show settlement cracks along joints in the first few years.
How long does exterior paint last in Dublin?
Around 7–10 years with good preparation and quality masonry paint. Coastal and exposed walls may need recoating sooner.
When is the best time to paint outside?
Late spring to early autumn, on dry days above about 8°C. Masonry paint needs dry walls and a few dry hours after application.
Can you paint over wallpaper?
It is possible, but seams and bubbles often show through. Stripping is usually the better finish.
What about lead paint in older homes?
Lead paint is common in homes built before about 1970. It should be wet-sanded or chemically stripped, never dry-sanded or burnt off indoors.
