How to Prepare Walls for Painting in Newlands

Wall preparation in Newlands demands the most thorough biological growth treatment of any Cape Town suburb. Apply fungicidal solution to all exterior surfaces - in Newlands, this means all elevations, not just obviously affected ones. Allow the full recommended dwell time. High-pressure wash from top to bottom. Assess paint adhesion carefully - the wet Newlands climate accelerates paint degradation. Remove all failed paint. Identify substrate - lime plaster on pre-1940 properties requires different products than cement plaster. Fill all cracks with appropriate filler. Apply correct primer for the substrate. See our full Newlands guide.

Newlands Painters never skips preparation. Every surface cleaned, treated and primed before topcoat.
