What Bishopscourt Properties Need From a Painter

Bishopscourt sits on the lower slopes below Kirstenbosch, and that position shapes almost every painting decision here. Mature oaks and pines throw permanent shade across large sections of most properties, so walls that never see direct sun stay damp long after the rain stops. Algae and moss take hold on those elevations first, and a coat of paint over a green wall lifts within two seasons.

The properties themselves are large, often double storey, and set on sloping erven. That means access planning matters as much as paint: scaffolding on a terraced garden, ladder work over pools and retaining walls, and long stretches of boundary wall that add far more surface area than owners expect. A quote that has not accounted for access is a quote that will change once work starts.

There is also a lot of exposed timber in Bishopscourt - pergolas, decks, shutters, garage doors and hardwood window frames. Timber needs a sealer or stain system rather than wall paint, and it needs recoating on a shorter cycle than plaster. We price these separately so you can see what the timber is actually costing you.

Getting the Preparation Right on a Shaded Property

• Treat algae and moss with a fungicidal wash and let it dwell - pressure washing alone spreads spores rather than killing them
• Give shaded south and east elevations extra drying time between coats. The same wall that dries in a day in Bergvliet can take three here
• Check gutters and downpipes behind tree cover before painting. Blocked gutters overflow onto the wall below and undo the work within a winter
• Specify a fungicide-loaded exterior product on the shaded elevations rather than the same tin used on the sunny side of the house
• Strip and sand timber back properly. A stain applied over a failing previous coat will lift in sheets rather than weathering evenly
• Walk the full boundary wall before signing anything - on a Bishopscourt erf the wall is often a third of the total painted area
• Agree how planting will be protected and cut back. Established gardens here are worth more than the paint job
