Why it matters
Exterior paint is preparation with a coat of colour on top. The paint is rarely what fails — what fails is what was underneath it when it went on.
Guiseley roofs and walls, specifically
The roofline in Guiseley is stone slate on the older housing, concrete tile across the estates. Painting over sound gritstone is a decision worth taking slowly: it is close to irreversible and it changes how the wall handles moisture.
A genuine split between old stone and modern tile, and the two want completely different handling.
How the job runs
Wash the elevation down and let it dry properly, because painting over algae seals it in and it grows through.
From there the method is the same wherever we do it — the exterior painting page sets out all five stages, and what a proper job includes.
What it costs in Guiseley
What we are usually quoting in Guiseley is largely interwar and post-war semis, with stone terraces in the older parts — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: good on the semi-detached estates, where there is side access and somewhere to park; tighter in the stone terraces off the main road.
Every quote is free and fixed before anything starts, and there is no call-out fee. As a guide, £1,500–£4,500 for a typical three-bedroom house is the typical range for this work in the UK — scaffold and significant repair work are additional. That is the market rather than a quote: yours is priced on your actual property, and the exterior painting page lists everything that moves it.
When to do it
April to September. Masonry paint needs surface temperatures above about 8°C and a dry wall to go onto, and a wall that has taken a soaking needs days rather than hours to dry out. Painting late in the year is how you get a finish that lifts in the first frost.
Aire valley damp sits over the town, with the moor close enough to keep north pitches green. Guiseley is about 14 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
When should you not do exterior painting?
Below about 8°C, in the rain, on a wall that has not dried out, or in strong direct sun on a hot day — which dries the film before it has levelled. In practice that means April to September here, and it means waiting after heavy rain rather than starting on a damp wall.
Can I just paint over old exterior paint?
Only if the existing coat is sound and compatible. Wash it, and test whether it is stable — if it chalks off on your hand or lifts with tape, a new coat will take it with it. Painting a modern breathable paint over an old sealed one is a common cause of early failure.
