Painting questions, answered
Straight answers about cracks, damp, colours and quotes before you book a painter in North Cyprus.
Quotes & booking
Is the painting quote free?
Yes. We visit, measure and send a free itemised quote before any work starts.
What does an itemised quote include?
Every line is in writing: furniture and floor protection, washing and cleaning, crack filling, damp and mould treatment, primer or sealer, the paint and number of coats, woodwork and trims, daily tidy-up, final clean and a walkround sign-off.
How do I get started?
Send us photos of the rooms or walls on WhatsApp, plus any colours you like. We'll arrange a site visit to check the cracks, damp and state of the surfaces, then send your quote.
How much does painting cost, and how long does it take?
It depends on the size of the property and how much repair the surfaces need before painting. We price each job after the site visit, so you get a figure for your home rather than a guess.
Is your team English-speaking?
Yes. We are a fully English-speaking team, with clear quotes and clear updates throughout the job.
Cracks, damp & mould
Why does paint peel so quickly in North Cyprus?
Strong sun, winter rain and condensation break paint down fast. Paint over cracks, damp or mould and it peels within a season. That is why we fix the surface first, then paint.
Do you fix cracks and damp before painting?
Yes. We find the cause, repair it and seal the surface first. Painting over it only hides it for a short time.
Is a crack in my wall serious?
Most cracks in render and plaster are cosmetic, but we'll tell you honestly at the site visit if one needs a structural check first.
How do you repair cracks in render and plaster?
Hairline cracks are raked out, filled and sealed so they don't reappear through the paint. Wider or recurring cracks are opened up, repaired with flexible filler or mesh, and re-rendered where needed.
What causes damp patches on my walls?
Usually rising damp at the base of walls, penetrating damp from outside, or condensation in bathrooms and bedrooms. We find the source first, whether that is the roof, terrace, guttering, plumbing or ventilation.
Can you just paint over mould?
No. Mould is killed and cleaned, the cause is treated, then walls are sealed with damp-resistant primer and paint, so the marks don't come back.
Colours & paint
Can I see colours on my house before you paint?
Yes. Upload a photo of your villa and try colours in the free Paint Designer, or browse our exterior colour chart.
Which paint do you use outside?
Exterior systems chosen to stand up to UV, heat and winter rain, not just look good on day one. The exact paint and number of coats are listed in your itemised quote.
Do you paint woodwork, doors and railings?
Yes. Woodwork, doors and railings are sanded, primed and finished to resist sun and salt air.
During the job
Do I need to move furniture out?
No. We cover and protect furniture and floors, and tidy up every day.
What happens when the painting is finished?
We check every wall with you on a walkround and clean up before we leave.
Do you do snag painting for new and resale homes?
Yes. We do touch-ups and full repaints before you move in or sell.
Still have a question?
Send us a photo of the wall or room on WhatsApp and we'll answer it, or arrange a visit for a free itemised quote.
