Exterior painting in the Cyprus sun

UV light fades and chalks exterior paint much faster than in northern Europe, and coastal homes also face salt spray. The preparation matters more than the paint: cracks in the render need filling, loose and chalky paint needs removing, and surfaces need to be clean and dry. Ask which exterior paint system will be used and how many coats are included.

Painting in full summer sun is a false economy, because paint dries too fast and does not bond properly. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for exterior work, and many painters schedule south-facing walls for the morning.

Shutters, railings and metalwork

Metal railings, gates and balcony balustrades rust quickly near the sea. Proper work means removing rust back to sound metal, priming with a suitable metal primer and finishing with a product rated for exterior metal. Wooden shutters need sanding and a UV-resistant finish rather than a quick coat over peeling paint.

Interior decorating

Winter condensation mould is common in Cypriot homes, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms. Painting over it without dealing with ventilation brings it back, so a good decorator treats the mould first and will point out when a fan or better heating is the real fix. Many owners redecorate between tenants or before letting a property for the season.

Common questions

How often does a house in Cyprus need repainting outside?

It depends on exposure and the paint used. Sea-facing and south-facing walls usually need it sooner than sheltered ones.

Why is my paint peeling after a year?

Usually poor preparation, damp in the wall or painting in the heat of summer. Ask the painter to find the cause before repainting.

Can you paint over mould?

Not on its own. It needs treating first, and the cause, usually condensation, needs addressing or it will return.
