Masonry Painters in Wokingham
Wokingham Painters provide masonry painting covering Wokingham and the surrounding Berkshire villages.
- Rendered wall painting and protection
- Exposed brick and stone facade finishing
- Breathable paint systems for damp
- Biological growth treatment and mould treatment
Twyford period cottages with rendered elevations are exposed to damp from the village’s lower-lying positions. Moisture-absorbing masonry paint applied to unprimed or poorly prepared render traps water and leads to flaking within two seasons, particularly on north-facing walls. Masonry painting is part of our full exterior painting service across Wokingham and Berkshire.

Masonry Painting Services
Rendered Walls
Rendered facades are common on Winnersh semis and Twyford period cottages. Before painting, we check for structural cracks, hollow areas, and poorly bonded sections. Loose render is hacked back and made good. Cracks are filled with flexible exterior filler.
Only then do we prime and apply the finish. The key to longevity is proper crack repair and breathable priming before any topcoat.
Exposed Brick
Exposed brick facades can be left natural or painted. We assess the brick condition and advise on whether painting is appropriate.
Brick that is soft or spalling is not suitable for painting. Sound brick responds well to masonry primers and specialist exterior paint systems.
Stone Facades
Period stone facades in Hurst and Sonning properties require careful assessment. Natural stone often looks best left exposed, but where painting is desired, we specify breathable systems.
Lime mortar between stones must be respected. Harsh modern masonry paint can damage or stain lime mortar.
Breathable Coatings
Breathable masonry paint allows moisture to escape from the masonry while protecting from driving rain. This is critical on period properties with original lime plaster or lime mortar.
Non-breathable paint traps moisture and leads to failure within a few heating seasons.
Biological Growth Treatment
Algae and moss growth on north-facing walls is treated before painting. A specialist mould treatment is applied and allowed adequate dwell time. This prevents spore recurrence.
Without treatment, biological growth will return through the new paint within months.
Here’s How It Works
1. Masonry assessment
We visit and assess all masonry surfaces, note cracks, dampness, biological growth, and existing coating condition.
2. Repair work
Loose render is hacked back. Cracks are filled with flexible exterior filler. We advise on any structural issues identified.
3. Surface preparation
Algae and moss growth is treated with a mould treatment solution. Biological growth is rinsed away and the surface allowed to dry fully.
4. Priming
A breathable masonry primer is applied. This is the critical stage for long-term durability on period properties.
5. Paint application
Breathable masonry paint is applied in two coats. Each coat is allowed full drying time before the next is applied.

Masonry Painting Costs in Wokingham
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 0118 207 2600 for a precise quote.
Cost Overview
Masonry painting typically costs between £1,800 and £2,800 for a full exterior repaint on rendered facades, including preparation, treatment, and two finish coats.
Cost Overview
Three things drive the price:
What Affects the Price
- Surface area. A large detached villa has considerably more wall area than a semi-detached property. Larger areas cost proportionally more.
- Condition and repair need. Significant crack filling or hollow render repair adds cost. Biological growth treatment adds cost.
- Paint system. Standard masonry paint is the baseline. Breathable and specialist systems cost more per litre.
Typical Ranges
