Detached properties in Pennsylvania and Countess Wear commonly have integral or detached garages with timber up-and-over or panel doors. Older timber doors on St Leonards and Heavitree period houses often show paint failure at the bottom rail first, where moisture sits.

Garage Door Painting Services
We paint all types of garage doors across Exeter. Every material requires a different preparation and paint system — correct prep is what makes the finish last.
Timber Garage Doors
Timber garage doors on pre-1990s properties need regular maintenance. Moisture causes swelling, splitting, and rot at chips and bare patches.
We strip loose paint, prime correctly, and apply a flexible exterior finish. A well-prepared door lasts eight to twelve years and costs far less than replacement.
Metal and Steel Doors
Rust forms at scratches and chips on metal doors and spreads beneath the surface if left. We treat with a rust converter before priming and applying a hard-wearing exterior finish in gloss or satin.
GRP and Composite Doors
GRP doors require a specialist primer for paint adhesion. We use the correct preparation process before the topcoat for a UV-resistant, durable result.


uPVC Doors and Combined Exterior Projects
Two further options for Exeter homeowners: painting uPVC garage doors and combining garage door work with a full exterior repaint.

uPVC Garage Doors
We paint uPVC doors using plastic-bonding primer systems where the door is in good structural condition. We advise on suitability before starting.
Combining with an Exterior Repaint
A freshly painted house with a faded garage door is a common oversight. We coordinate garage door painting with exterior painting projects.
Call 01392 321669 to discuss combining both.
How Garage Door Painting Works

3. Priming
Correct primer applied for the door material and left to dry fully.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats applied. Best season is March through October.
5. Final Inspection
All edges, panels, and junctions checked. Touch-ups complete before leaving.
