Fence and Shed Painting in Tipton

Fence, shed and garden timber painting in Tipton and Tividale. Cleaned down, treated and coated so the wood lasts longer and the garden looks cared for.

What's involved

How Fence and Shed Painting works in Tipton

  1. Cleaned first

    01

    Moss, algae and loose fibres brushed off so the coat soaks into the wood, not onto the dirt.

  2. Dry wood only

    02

    Timber needs a few dry days before treatment. We plan around the forecast rather than painting damp panels.

  3. Plants and neighbours protected

    03

    Borders sheeted, paving covered and the neighbour's side agreed before any spraying or brushing.

  4. Sheds, gates and decking

    04

    Sheds, summerhouses, gates and pergolas done with the fence so the garden matches.

  5. Broken panels flagged

    05

    Rotten posts and broken panels pointed out before coating, so nothing weak gets painted over.

  6. Spray or brush

    06

    Sprayed for speed on long runs of panel, brushed near plants, cars and neighbours' walls.

  7. The photos we need

    07

    A photo from the back door down the garden, and one close to the worst panel. Tell us the length of fence and the size of the shed. Say whether you want a new colour or the same one again.

Fences and sheds in Tipton take a beating from the weather, and untreated timber goes grey, then green, then soft. A good coat of the right product every couple of years adds years to its life. The job is mostly preparation. That means brushing off moss and algae, letting the wood dry, and choosing a treatment that suits the timber. It is not slapping a thin colour over dirt. A spring or late-summer dry spell is the best window for it.

Tipton gardens are mostly long and narrow, with a fence on both sides and a shed at the bottom. The length of fencing sets most of the cost. The condition of the wood comes next. A photo from the back door down the garden, and one close to the worst panel, is usually enough to quote it on WhatsApp.

Good to know

Fence and Shed Painting: the answers

How often should a fence be treated?

Most need a coat every two to three years to keep the wood protected, sooner if it faces the weather.

Can you paint the neighbour's side?

Only with their agreement. We are happy to talk to them first so there are no surprises.

Can you change the colour completely?

Yes. Going darker is easy; going much lighter over a dark stain may take extra coats.

How long does a fence take?

A typical Tipton back garden is usually a day, weather permitting, with the shed added on.

Does it need to stay dry afterwards?

Ideally a few dry hours after coating. We keep an eye on the forecast and move the day if needed.

Can you paint a shed floor?

Yes, with a hard-wearing floor paint, once the boards are clean and dry.

What affects the cost of painting a fence?

The length of fencing, the condition of the wood, whether it is sprayed or brushed and whether sheds and gates are included. A fence that is already clean and dry is quicker to coat.
