Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use breathable paint on a period house?
Solid brick and lime-plastered walls often need breathable paint to avoid trapping moisture.
How much does period property painting cost in Dublin?
Typically €6,000–€20,000, depending on the size of the house, access and specification.
How do I choose a contractor for period property painting?
Get at least two itemised written quotes, ask to see recent similar work, and check registrations, insurance and guarantees.
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.
