Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Exterior Decorating

With long, dry days and warmer temperatures, summer is the ideal time to freshen up the outside of your home. Whether it’s giving tired paintwork a new lease of life or restoring weather-worn woodwork, exterior decorating in summer delivers the best results—and now is the time to get it done.


At B & B Services Ltd, we’ve been busy helping homeowners across Gloucestershire and Herefordshire transform their properties, including a recent exterior decorating project in Ledbury this July.


Why Summer Works Best


Exterior paint and masonry products need warm, dry conditions to cure properly. During summer, we’re more likely to get consistent weather windows, which means:


  • Faster drying times

  • Less risk of rain ruining fresh paint

  • Better adhesion and durability

  • Fewer delays from bad weather


In short, your exterior decorating job will look better—and last longer—when done in summer.


What Can Be Painted or Refreshed?


If your property’s exterior is looking a little tired, there are several areas we can improve:


  • Masonry walls – Repaint rendered or brick surfaces to protect against moisture and improve kerb appeal.

  • Woodwork – Restore and repaint fascias, soffits, window frames, doors, and fences.

  • Metalwork – Revive railings, gates, or drainpipes with specialist paint to prevent rust.

  • Front doors and porches – A new colour or fresh coat can transform your home’s entrance.


Case Study: Exterior Decorating in Ledbury Town Centre – July 2025


This month, we completed an exterior decorating project for a building in Ledbury, giving the property a full facelift with:


  • Full scaffolding

  • Repainting and repair of timber window frames and sills

  • Restoring the entire building exterior and repainting


The result? A bright, welcoming exterior that not only looks fantastic but is better protected from the elements heading into autumn.
