AfterWhat is wall coating?
A wall coating is a significant level above standard, off the shelf masonry paint. Not only for the quality of the coating in its durability and look but in the preparation process prior to application.
As approved ProPERLA applicators we adhere to the strict application process so that our customers' homes stay fresher looking for longer, water resistant and energy efficient for 25+ years.
What is the correct preparation process for a wall coating?
Our award winning exterior coating team will set your project out in 3 separate stages before application.
Stage 1 – Prep
We lay dust sheets and tarpaulin down on all greenery, slabs, driveway and footways. Followed by masking up and blue rolling all windows and doors.
Stage 2 – Deep antifungal clean
It is vital that we eradicate all moss, algae, lichen and spores from the substrate. Using ProPERLA's antifungal biocide, the walls are treated and washed of all of the above. This process will also restore the walls as close to the original colour as possible, ensuring a clean wall for application of your wall coating.
Stage 3 – Remedial work
If your walls are bossed, blown, cracked or damaged in any way, we must ensure that they are repaired and 100% stable for coating. If necessary we will hack off and re-render all bossed sections of your walls. We will also fill in any and all cracks. We also offer re-pointing to damaged brickwork.
At this point in your wall coating process, your walls will already be looking much better. Bacteria and stain free with all appropriate repairs carried out. The next step is applying the UK's leading exterior coating to your home.
How is a wall coating applied?
The correct procedure for applying ProPERLA is to firstly apply a primer (only to walls that have not been coated before). This is sprayed on then backrolled in using a thick masonry roller.
Same process applies to your first coat of ProPERLA, and once that coat is dry we can apply your second and final coat to your home.
What is the difference between wall coating and exterior painting?
A wall coating comes with several benefits that a standard masonry paint does not. The main one being durability. Although there is a place in the market for painting if you want your home to look fresh for up to 10 years, take a look at our exterior painting page.
A wall coating is a process, done correctly it means you won't have to consider coating your home again for around 25 years.

FAQs
Common questions about ProPERLA Wall Coating
How long does ProPERLA last?
ProPERLA is guaranteed for up to 25 years and stays super-hydrophobic and colour-fast throughout, far longer than masonry paint.
Will it stop damp?
By making the wall super-hydrophobic while staying breathable, ProPERLA keeps walls drier and warmer and lets trapped moisture escape. We assess this when we survey your walls.
Can you coat pebbledash and roughcast?
Yes. ProPERLA is ideal for sound pebbledash, roughcast, render and previously painted masonry.
