Painting & Decorating in Crowborough

Crowborough is over the border in East Sussex but only a short drive from Tunbridge Wells, and it's a regular part of our patch.

It is also the highest town in the High Weald National Landscape, at 794 feet above sea level, sitting right up against Ashdown Forest. That elevation is not a detail: it changes how exterior work has to be specified and when it can sensibly be done.

What Crowborough Properties Need

Exposed elevations take a beating

At that height the town catches the weather, and historically it has been recorded as one of the wetter, windier spots in the Weald. South-westerly driving rain hits the exposed elevations hardest, and standard exterior emulsion does not last as long here as it would lower down.

Specify the coating for the exposure

On the weather side of a Crowborough property we use more robust masonry coatings rather than the cheapest option, because the difference in how long it lasts is significant. It costs a bit more up front and saves repainting years earlier than you should have to.

Timing exterior work

Exterior work needs settled, dry spells and a realistic drying window between coats. Up on the ridge those windows are shorter, so we would rather book exterior jobs into a sensible part of the year than rush them and have the finish fail.
