Best Seasons for Painting in Northamptonshire
- Spring (March–May) — Ideal for exteriors: milder temperatures, longer days, lower rain risk than winter. Good for interior work too.
- Summer (June–August) — Excellent for exteriors if avoiding peak heat; fast drying times. Interiors benefit from open windows for ventilation.
- Autumn (September–November) — Strong choice for exteriors: stable weather, fewer leaves/pollen. Interiors remain year-round viable.
- Winter (December–February) — Best for interior projects only: controlled conditions, no frost risk to fresh paint. Exteriors generally not recommended.
Season-Specific Painting Tips from Whitehouse
Spring: Check forecasts for dry spells; use quick-drying paints; protect fresh exteriors from late frosts. Summer: Avoid midday heat (paint in morning/evening); watch for pollen/dust; ensure good ventilation indoors. Autumn: Monitor humidity; choose paints with good adhesion in cooler conditions; clean surfaces of leaf debris. Winter: Focus on interiors; use low-odour/low-VOC paints; maintain room temperature above 10°C for proper curing.
Weather & Surface Prep Considerations
Never paint exteriors when rain is forecast within 24–48 hours. Avoid direct sun or high wind. Whitehouse always power-washes, treats mould, and primes properly—seasonal conditions affect drying and adhesion, so we adjust methods accordingly.
Common Seasonal Painting Mistakes to Avoid
Painting exteriors in cold/damp weather causes poor adhesion; rushing in hot weather leads to flash drying and cracking; ignoring ventilation indoors traps odours. Whitehouse prevents these with weather-aware planning.
