Homes in Tallaght and what that means for painting
Tallaght is Dublin's largest suburb, dominated by 1970s and 1980s estate housing, with newer apartments near the town centre. Tallaght is in Dublin 24 and falls under South Dublin County Council.
1930s–1960s homes usually have plaster walls that crack at corners and above doors, which need proper filling and priming before finishing. 1970s–1990s homes commonly need textured ceilings dealt with and dated woodwork updated, and exterior render or pebbledash repainted. Newer homes often have drylined walls that show settlement cracks along joints in the first few years.
What to check before you hire a painter
- Ask exactly what preparation is included (filling, sanding, priming, caulking)
- Confirm the number of coats and the paint brand and range
- Ask how furniture and floors will be protected
- For older homes, ask how the painter handles possible lead paint
- For exterior work, confirm whether scaffolding or access equipment is included

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Tallaght and nearby areas?
Yes. We cover Tallaght, Rathfarnham, Terenure, Templeogue and Knocklyon and the rest of South West Dublin.
What painting problems are common in Tallaght?
1930s–1960s homes usually have plaster walls that crack at corners and above doors, which need proper filling and priming before finishing. 1970s–1990s homes commonly need textured ceilings dealt with and dated woodwork updated, and exterior render or pebbledash repainted. 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.
