Local Expertise
At Daffodil Decor, we bring more than just painting skills to your property.
We have a deep understanding of
Swansea’s local buildings, weather challenges, and what your home’s exterior really needs.
🌊 Adapting to Swansea’s Coastal Climate
We’ve lived and worked in Swansea for many years. This gives us real experience with how our sea climate affects paint. Swansea gets more than 1,300mm of rain each year. The salty air from the sea also affects paint. Regular paint just doesn’t last here.
We use special moisture-resistant and salt-tolerant paints for homes near the coast. This is especially important in areas like Mumbles and Langland where sea spray hits homes often.
We plan our work around Swansea’s weather. We know that May to June is the best time to paint outside. The temperature is right and there’s less rain. When we look at your home, we’ll tell you the best time to paint for the longest-lasting results.
🏠Expertise Across Swansea’s Different Home Types
Swansea has many different types of homes. Each type needs a different painting approach:
- Victorian Terraces in Uplands and Brynmill: We know how to restore and protect the fancy details on these older homes. This includes detailed woodwork and traditional wall finishes.
- Coastal Properties in Mumbles and Gower: We use special marine-grade paints. These are made to stand up to the harsh, salty conditions these homes face every day.
- Post-War Semi-Detached Homes in Killay and Sketty: We understand the special challenges of homes built in the 1950s-1970s.
- Modern Developments in SA1 and Tycoch: Newer buildings need different paint types. We know the right systems for modern building materials.
We always look at what your home exterior is made of. This might be the limestone common in Gower, or the brick and pebbledash finishes found around Swansea Bay.
đź’ˇ Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
We’ve painted homes all across Swansea County. This has taught us how to solve problems specific to certain areas:
- North-facing properties in Townhill and Mayhill - We use special anti-fungal paints. These combat the extra moisture these homes face.
- Exposed properties in high areas like Clase and Waunarlwydd - We prepare surfaces carefully. These homes get more weather damage than others.
- Conservation areas in the Marina and parts of Mumbles - We know the special rules for these areas. We use the right colors that follow local planning rules.
🛠️ Solving Common Problems
Knowing Swansea’s homes well helps our clients. For example, we know that many 1960s semi-detached houses in Sketty and Killay have specific wall problems. We spot these issues before they become visible. This means we give more accurate quotes and avoid surprises during the project.
Whether you have a Victorian terrace in Brynmill, a seaside home in Oystermouth, or a modern house in SA1, Daffodil Decor brings local knowledge. This ensures your exterior painting project succeeds in Swansea’s unique environment.
Trust your exterior painting to a team that truly knows your local area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does exterior painting cost in Swansea?
The cost of painting your home's outside in Swansea depends mainly on how big your house is and what style it has. At Daffodil Decor, our price includes all the prep work, fixes, and good quality paint.
Things that affect the price include:
- How good or bad your home's outside is now
- How many floors your house has
- If we need special equipment like scaffolding, especially in hilly areas like Mount Pleasant or Townhill
To find out exactly how much it would cost for your home, call us at 01792949708 or fill out our online form. We'll give you a free quote with no pressure to say yes.
How long does exterior painting take?
How long it takes to paint your house outside depends on how big it is and what shape it's in.
We need to clean, sand, fix things, put on primer, and then paint the top coats. Swansea's weather near the coast affects when we can work.
Before we start, we'll tell you exactly when we'll be working and keep you updated as we go.
To find out how long your specific project will take, call us at 01792949708 or fill out our contact form online.
Do I need to be home while the exterior is being painted?
No, you don't need to stay home while we paint. We just need to get to the outside of your house and maybe use an outdoor water tap and electricity. After we first meet, we'll make a schedule that works for you.
We're careful not to bother your neighbors in busy areas like Uplands or Sketty. We'll stay in touch by phone or email and can even send you pictures of our progress if you would like.
Call us at 01792949708 to set up your painting renovation.
What if it rains on the painting day?
We keep a close eye on Swansea's changing weather and always have backup plans. If it rains unexpectedly:
- We'll protect fresh paint
- Make sure partly finished work dries properly
- We'll reschedule the rest for the next good weather day
Our quality paints need temperatures above 10°C with no rain expected for 24 hours. We're extra careful in areas with changing weather like the Gower, and we build extra time into our schedule to make sure you get perfect results no matter what the weather does.
What time of year is best for exterior painting in Swansea?
The best time to paint outside in Swansea is from May to September. During these months:
- Temperatures stay above 10°C
- There's less rain
- Days are longer
Swansea's location by the sea means humidity and salt can affect how paint works. Houses further inland like in Sketty might be okay to paint earlier in spring. Homes by the sea in Mumbles do better with summer painting when weather is more stable.
Many homeowners book 2-3 months ahead to get these best painting months.
Do I need planning permission for painting my house?
Most of the time, you don't need special permission to paint your house in Swansea.
Here are some exceptions:
- If your home is listed (common in the Marina, Uplands, and Mumbles)
- If it's in a conservation area (like parts of Mumbles or the Maritime Quarter)
- If previous planning rules limit what colors you can use
In conservation areas, it's good to pick colors that match nearby houses. Homes in the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty might have extra rules.
We know the local rules and can help you follow them while still getting the look you want.
How do I prepare my home for exterior painting?
Before our team arrives to paint your Swansea home, we recommend:
Trim back bushes, plants, and tree branches that touch your walls. Move garden furniture, toys, and vehicles away from the house.
Secure loose window hardware and fix any obvious wood rot. Tell your neighbors about the upcoming work.
Make sure we can use your outdoor power outlets. Take down anything hanging on your outside walls.
As professional Swansea painters, we will handle all the washing, sanding, and technical prep work. This ensures a perfect finish that can stand up to our Welsh coastal weather.
Do you offer free quotes for exterior painting in Swansea?
Yes, we provide completely free quotes with no obligation for all exterior painting projects. We cover Swansea and nearby areas including Mumbles, Gower, and Llanelli.
When we quote, we will visit your property and check all surfaces carefully. We'll talk about what you need and want. Then we'll give you a written quote that shows all costs clearly. We'll also tell you how long the job will take.
Call Daffodil Decor today on 01792949708 to schedule your free consultation. You can also fill in our online contact form for a free quote.
Can you help me choose the right colour for my home or business?
Absolutely! We offer free colour advice and can put sample patches on your walls to test colours.
We can suggest colours that look good with Swansea's natural landscape. If you have a Victorian or Edwardian property, we can advise on period-appropriate colours.
We also know which finishes stand up best to Swansea Bay's coastal weather. Our colour choices will improve both how your property looks and its value in the local market.
How do you ensure the paint lasts in Swansea's weather?
Living in Swansea means dealing with salty air, lots of rain, and changing temperatures. Our local know-how includes:
Using marine-grade paints for homes near Swansea Bay. We apply special UV-resistant paints for walls that face south.
We install proper moisture barriers and use primers made for Swansea's climate. We plan painting days based on local weather forecasts.
We put extra protective coats on walls that face the weather. We can suggest how often you should maintain your property based on its location.
Do you clean and prep surfaces before painting?
Yes! Good preparation is key to our Swansea painting service:
We power wash all surfaces to remove salt, moss, and dirt. We treat any mold or algae, which is common in Swansea's damp climate.
We allow enough time for surfaces to dry, considering local humidity. We hand-scrape loose material and sand down rough edges.
We apply the right primers for Swansea's seaside environment. We never rush preparation work. This careful approach ensures your paint job lasts for years, even with Swansea's challenging weather.
Can you remove old, flaking paint before repainting?
Yes, we offer complete paint removal services:
We first check the condition of existing paint all over your property. For stubborn areas, we use heat guns to loosen paint.
We use professional sanders with dust collection systems. For detailed areas on Victorian Swansea homes, we use chemical strippers.
We test for lead paint in older homes and remove it safely. We clean up and dispose of all stripped materials properly.
Our thorough approach ensures new paint sticks properly and creates a long-lasting finish for your Swansea home.
Do you use weatherproof or anti-mould paint?
We only use top-quality weatherproof and anti-mould paints for all Swansea exterior projects:
For coastal properties in Mumbles and Gower, we use marine-grade finishes. We choose paints that let walls "breathe" while keeping moisture out.
Our paints contain anti-fungal additives to fight Swansea's damp climate. For homes near Swansea Bay, we use salt-resistant formulas.
We offer environmentally friendly options that meet Swansea Council rules.
