Service overview
Exterior Airless Spraying: What You Need to Know
What the service is
Exterior airless spraying uses a high-pressure pump to apply paint, stain or treatment through a fine tip. We use it on fences and cladding, where the rough, grooved and overlapping surfaces take a long time to brush and are easy to miss.
Who it is for
Homeowners with long runs of fencing, properties with timber or composite-style cladding, landlords maintaining shared boundaries, and commercial sites with perimeter fencing or clad frontages.
When it is needed
When fence panels have faded to grey, the previous colour is patchy, timber looks dry and split, cladding has weathered unevenly, or you simply want a new colour for your garden or frontage.
Why a professional matters
Spraying outdoors means managing wind, overspray and neighbouring property. A professional masks and shields properly, sprays on suitable days and applies the right product so it soaks in and protects rather than sitting on the surface.
The cost of waiting
What Happens If You Leave It
Fences and cladding are exposed to the weather every day of the year. Once their protection wears off, the timber starts to suffer.
Timber dries out and splits
Unprotected wood absorbs rain and dries out in the sun repeatedly, which leads to cracking, warping and loose boards.
Rot shortens the fence's life
Moisture sitting in untreated timber encourages rot, especially near the ground, bringing forward the cost of replacement panels and posts.
Patchy, faded appearance
Weathered fences and cladding make a garden or building look tired, even if everything else is well kept.
Weekends lost to brushing
Hand-painting a long run of fence panels is slow work that often gets abandoned halfway.
Common mistakes we see
- Spraying on a windy day and drifting paint onto cars, plants and neighbours' property.
- Applying treatment to wet or dirty timber, so it does not soak in.
- Using an interior product or the wrong type of coating for the surface.
- Not protecting plants, paving and walls close to the fence.
- Only coating the visible face and leaving gaps and edges bare.

Exterior Airless Spraying: Our Work
In detail
Exterior Airless Spraying: Materials, Methods & Situations
Outdoor surfaces vary a lot. Here is how we approach the most common ones.
Fence panels and posts
Overlap and feather-edge panels have dozens of edges and gaps that are slow to brush. Spraying coats them evenly in a single pass, including the rough-sawn faces that soak up product.
Timber cladding
Cladding on garden rooms, extensions and commercial buildings is sprayed evenly along its boards to avoid the streaks and lap marks that are common with brushing on large elevations.
Choosing the right coating
Fences are usually finished with an exterior fence paint or treatment, while cladding may need a different exterior coating depending on the timber and existing finish. We will advise on what suits your surface.
Controlling overspray
Outdoor spraying needs care. We use masking, sheeting and handheld shields and only spray when the wind is calm, keeping paint on the fence and off your car, plants and your neighbour's side.
Colour changes
Going from a dark colour to a lighter one, or refreshing a faded finish, may need more than one coat. We will explain what is needed at the quote stage.
Residential versus commercial
At home, the goal is a garden that looks cared for. On commercial sites, long boundary fences and clad buildings can be sprayed with minimal disruption, scheduled around operating hours.
Local to you

We are based in Basingstoke and carry out exterior airless spraying for homes and businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Being local means we can visit to quote quickly, plan work around the weather and your diary, and keep the job moving without long gaps between visits.
From terraced houses and new-build estates to period properties, offices and commercial units, the properties in this part of the South vary a lot.

Because we work 7 days a week, from 7am to 9pm, it is easier to book work in at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends when you are at home, or outside trading hours for businesses.

FAQ
Exterior Airless Spraying Questions
How much does fence spraying cost?
+
It depends on the length and height of the fence, its condition and how much protection is needed around it. We give a free, no-obligation quote after seeing it.
Is spraying better than brushing for fences?
+
For most fences, yes. It is much faster and gets into the gaps and rough surfaces more evenly. Brushing can still be useful for small areas or tricky spots.
Will spray get onto my neighbour's side?
+
We mask and shield carefully and only spray in calm conditions to keep overspray under control. If both sides need doing, we can talk to you about arranging it.
How often should a fence be treated?
+
It depends on the product and exposure, but most fences benefit from a fresh coat every few years to keep the timber protected.
Is the quote for fence and cladding spraying free?
+
Yes. Every quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. You get a clear price before any work starts, so you can decide in your own time.
