Hi! That sounds ominous…We are about to embark on painting our exterior, do you have any tips please? Do you recommend washing the paintwork first with sugar soap?
YAFJ-
It's not a job I relish. Usually means quite a few weeks of work for me but that's largely due to the condition of woodwork and the amount of railings.
I wash the face of the buildings and perimeter walls with a jet wash. Sugar soap is not a bad call though. The jet wash also gets the prep started by removing any loose/blown bricks.

You're welcome. I'm all about making the paintwork bearable. Just finished an exterior and I'm hoping I never say yes to one again!
