Painting in Bishopscourt

Bishopscourt sits high on the mountain side of the Southern Suburbs, sharing Newlands weather - high rainfall, long wet winters and deep shade from mature trees. Combine that with generous plots and substantial houses and you get properties where the painting is straightforward but the conditions are not.

The recurring issue is drying. Walls tucked under oaks or against the slope stay damp for weeks in winter, and algae growth on shaded southern elevations is normal rather than exceptional. Those faces need a fungicidal wash, a real kill period and a moisture check before coating, while the sunnier north side of the same house may be ready to paint the same week.

Scale is the second factor. Perimeter walls on Bishopscourt plots are long, elevations are often double volume, and mature gardens make access genuinely awkward. Getting scaffold to a rear gable through an established garden takes planning, and it belongs in the quote rather than appearing as a surprise midway through.

Before You Repaint in Bishopscourt

• Quote each elevation separately. Shaded southern walls need far more preparation than the sunny north face of the same house
• Fungicidal wash on any wall showing green or black growth, then allow the kill period before coating
• Plan exterior work for summer. This is one of the wetter pockets of Cape Town and winter does not give reliable drying windows
• Walk the perimeter and measure it. Long boundary and security walls often exceed the house in painted area
• Check how scaffold reaches double-volume sections without damaging established planting or paving
• Clear gutters, valleys and downpipes before painting. Overflow down a facade undoes the work within one wet season
• Exterior timber - shutters, pergolas, garage doors - needs sealing on a shorter cycle than the walls around it
