Shed Painting in Cheltenham

Garden sheds are the most frequently neglected exterior timber structure on a property. Most sheds in Cheltenham are softwood tongue-and-groove or overlap cladding. Left untreated, the cladding greys, splits, and begins to rot within five to seven years.

We treat sheds from the roof felt line down, covering all cladding boards, corner battens, door frames, and the door face. The base boards receive the most attention — this is where moisture entry and rot begins.

For properties preparing for sale, a freshly treated shed makes a visible difference to how the garden photographs. In Charlton Kings and Prestbury, where garden presentation matters, it is a small investment that changes first impressions.

Larger outbuildings and workshops need a more thorough approach than a standard shed. They often have multiple wall faces, roof overhangs, and window reveals that need individual attention.

We work around the full perimeter, treating each wall face separately. Soffits, fascias, and exposed rafter ends are included where accessible. Window frames often show the first signs of paint failure, cracking and peeling around the glazing beads where moisture enters.

For garden offices and workshops in regular use, we advise on breathable products to reduce condensation on internal timber surfaces.

Summerhouses have more exposed surface area than a standard shed. They have larger windows, visible roof lines, and often a veranda or overhanging canopy.

The internal walls of a summerhouse are often painted rather than stained, giving a cleaner, lighter appearance. We advise on whether interior treatment makes sense depending on the use of the building.

For timber summerhouses in Pittville or Tivoli where the structure is a visual feature, we offer a full repaint covering external cladding, window frames, veranda posts, and floorboards if required.
