Painters in Punta Prima

It's a lovely place to own property and a hard place to keep looking new. Coatings that are perfectly adequate two kilometres inland don't last here.

What we do in Punta Prima

• Exterior painting — render and masonry in coatings chosen for direct maritime exposure
• Gates, grilles and balustrades — the biggest single job in a seafront property, and the one most often skipped
• Apartment painting — for the blocks along and behind the front

Property types here

A mix of front-line apartment blocks, low-rise developments set back from the promenade, and detached villas on the streets running inland. Terraces and balconies are a defining feature — and they're also where the salt does its worst work, on balustrades, railings and the render directly behind them.

What the sea air does

Salt doesn't just dull the finish. It sits on the surface and holds moisture against it, so metal corrodes from the joints outwards and render stays damp longer than it should after rain.

On a seafront property that means:

• Balustrades and railings needing attention every few years rather than every decade
• Seaward elevations fading and chalking noticeably faster than the sheltered sides
• Rust staining running down freshly painted render from a single untreated fixing
• Window grilles pitting where the salt collects in the corners

The answer is preparation. Everything gets washed down properly, metal gets taken back to sound material and primed rather than painted over, and the coating is chosen for exposure rather than convenience.
