The difference you'll notice once the job starts
Prep that deals with real weathering
We don't paint over dirt, algae or flaking patches and hope for the best. Our preparation is shaped around what your timber actually needs.
Small touch-ups to larger repainting work
A few tired panels need a different approach from a full boundary run. We scale the job properly and plan the work to match.
Clear timing around coats and weather
Exterior timber painting depends on good conditions. We explain the sequence clearly, so you know what happens first and what may need a little patience.
A smarter way to protect fences and sheds
Fresh fence painting does more than tidy your garden up. We help you protect timber from rain, sun, algae and general wear, and Innocon Group Ltd carries out this work as part of our wider exterior painting service. A long fence line needs a different plan from a handful of panels, and a shed often brings its own details like doors, trims and awkward corners. Shared boundaries, neighbouring gardens and narrow side access can all affect how we prepare the area and how the job is scheduled. Before any finish goes on, we clean away dirt and algae, remove loose or failed coatings, sand key areas and deal with minor surface repairs where needed. If the timber needs a stronger clean first, we can also use pressure washing to get the surface ready for even coverage that lasts longer.
Paint or stain and what to expect on the day
Solid paint gives you fuller colour coverage, while stain leaves more of the grain visible and can be a good fit if you prefer a more natural look. Refresh times vary with exposure and the condition of the wood, and we talk that through clearly before Innocon Group Ltd starts work. Fence and deck staining is also an option if your timber would suit that finish better, though this page is focused on painted fences and sheds. On site, we protect nearby surfaces and plants, then work around weather windows and drying times so each coat has the best chance to cure properly. Multiple coats are often the right call for durability, and we keep you updated on timing and sequencing so there are no surprises.
Frequently asked questions
Should you choose paint or stain for your fence or shed?
Paint is usually the better choice if you want solid colour and stronger visual change. Stain suits timber where you want to keep more of the natural grain visible, and it can be a useful option for fence and deck staining.
Do fences and sheds need much preparation before painting?
Yes, proper preparation makes a big difference to how the finish looks and how well it lasts. We clean off dirt and algae, remove failed coatings, sand key areas and carry out minor surface repairs before applying finish coats.
Can we paint fences with awkward access or shared boundaries?
Yes, but access can affect timing and setup. Narrow side passages, neighbouring gardens and shared fence lines may mean we need to plan protection, preparation and working order more carefully.
