Painters in Tramore, Co. Waterford
Tramore is fifteen minutes from our yard, and it has been a steady part of our work since 2006. We are the painters Tramore homeowners call when they want the whole job in one pair of hands - walls and ceilings inside, render and woodwork outside, and the power washing that has to happen before either. One team, one written quote, no subcontractors turning up halfway through.
What sea air does to paint in Tramore
A house in Tramore takes weather a house in Kilkenny never sees. Salt-laden wind off the bay drives moisture into render and strips the binder out of masonry paint on the seaward elevation years before the sheltered side shows a mark. You see it most on anything facing south-west across the strand: chalking on the south wall, a clean north wall, and an owner wondering why one side of the house aged twice as fast.
What we do about it. The wall gets washed and treated before anything else, because painting over salt and algae is money thrown away. Bare patches get primed. Then a breathable masonry system rated for coastal exposure, not the cheapest trade emulsion - and on a sea-facing wall we will usually recommend two coats where one would do inland. It costs a little more on the day and buys years before the next repaint.
What we do in Tramore
Houses, render, sheds, gates and railings, with the coastal build-up described above.
Power washing and exterior cleaning
Driveways, patios, roofs, gutters and fascias. Soft-wash where render or paintwork would be damaged by pressure.
Interior painting and decorating
Walls, ceilings, woodwork and wallpapering. Furniture covered and floors sheeted, cleaned up every evening.
Holiday-let and end-of-tenancy cleaning
Deep cleans and odour removal, planned around your changeover dates.
Full fit-outs - strip-out, tiling, plumbing fixtures and finishing by one team.
Supply, fitting, restoration and repainting in timber, uPVC and composite.
Tramore has a lot of holiday homes and short-term lets, so a good share of what we do here is turnover work: a repaint and a deep clean between seasons, finished on a Friday for a Saturday arrival.

Bathroom renovation - strip-out, tiling, fixtures and finishing by one team.
How we price
Every quote is fixed and in writing before we start. We do not publish price lists, because no two rooms are the same - what moves the number is the state of the surface, access at height, and how much preparation the walls need before a brush touches them. We come out, measure, and tell you the full price at the survey, not halfway through. The visit is free and the quote lands within 48 hours, usually sooner.
How we work
1. We come out and look at the job - free, and usually within a few days.
2. You get a written quote with a fixed price and a realistic number of days.
3. We agree a start date and keep it. If weather moves it, you hear from us the day before, not on the morning.
Questions we get asked
Do you charge extra to come to Tramore?
No. Tramore is inside our standard area - about fifteen minutes from base - so there is no call-out charge and no minimum job size.
How long does a three-bed exterior take in Tramore?
Usually four to six working days including washing and preparation, weather depending. Coastal walls need a full dry day after washing before the first coat, and we will not skip it to finish sooner.
Can you work around a holiday-let changeover?
Yes. Tell us the dates and we plan around them. We do a lot of turnover work in Tramore between May and September and we are used to finishing on a Friday for a Saturday arrival.
