Anyone can slap paint on a wall. Making it last is the hard part — and that’s where 35 years pays off. SDM Interiors repairs and paints render and masonry right across York — from Clifton and Acomb to Fulford, Heworth and the surrounding villages — inside and out. We sound out the render, make good the cracks and treat the damp first. Then the paint goes on. That’s why our work holds up for years, not months.
Most paint fails early for one reason: someone painted over problems instead of fixing them. We don’t. We rake out and fill cracks, patch any blown render, stabilise chalky walls and kill off algae before a drop of paint is opened. Skip that groundwork and the finish flakes within a year or two. Do it right and it lasts a decade.
Cracks and hollow patches only get worse if you paint over them. We rake out and fill every crack, then hack off and re-render any blown areas — matching the texture to the existing wall — so the surface is sound before we paint.
This is where the job is won. We wash down the walls, kill off algae and moss, scrape back flaking paint and stabilise any chalky or powdery render. A clean, firm, dry surface is the only thing paint will grip to for the long haul.
With the wall sound, we apply two coats of quality masonry paint by brush, roller or spray — any colour you like, inside or out. A smooth, even finish that protects the wall and lifts the whole look of your property.
Crumbling mortar lets water in and ruins paintwork from behind. We repoint tired joints and make good brickwork, so the wall is weather-tight before any finish goes on. For bigger structural work, see our plastering service.
From a cracked, tired façade to a damp-stained interior wall, we bring masonry and render back to life in your home. We repair first — cracks, blown render, algae — then paint inside or out in any colour. One team, proper prep, and a finish that lasts. Got a damp problem behind it? We’ll point you to our mould and damp removal service to sort the cause first.
A tired, flaking exterior puts customers off and signals neglect. We repair and repaint masonry for York offices, shops and units, working around your hours. We fix the cracks and mortar, treat the surface, then apply a hard-wearing finish that keeps the building looking cared-for.
Flaking render and damp patches fail inspections and put off tenants. We make good the walls and repaint between tenancies, treating the surface properly so it doesn’t need redoing every year. A sound, smart finish that protects your property and your rental income.
From flat smooth render to heavy pebbledash, we prep and paint every type. Textured surfaces drink more paint and need a careful hand — we make sure the coverage is even and the finish is right.
Painted brick needs the right prep or it peels. We clean, repoint and stabilise brickwork first, then apply a breathable finish that lets the wall release moisture instead of trapping it.
York has plenty of period homes — think the conservation areas around the city walls, Bishophill and the older village properties — and they need the right treatment. Lime render must breathe — so we use breathable, vapour-permeable finishes like limewash, never a plastic paint that traps damp and damages old walls.
It’s not just outside walls. We repair and paint interior render and feature brickwork too — filling, stabilising and finishing so inside walls look as sharp as the outside.

Yes — and it’s the part that matters most. Painting over cracks or blown render just hides the problem, and the paint fails within a year or two. We make good the wall first so the finish lasts.
Usually because the wall wasn’t prepped — chalky, damp or dirty surfaces won’t hold paint. We stabilise, clean and treat the surface first, which is exactly why our finishes grip and last.
Yes. We paint smooth render, pebbledash, brick and stone. Textured surfaces need more paint and care, and we prep each one the right way before the topcoats go on.
We do, and we treat them correctly. Lime render needs to breathe, so we use breathable, vapour-permeable finishes — never a plastic masonry paint that traps moisture and harms old walls.
We treat surface algae and mould as part of the prep. If there’s a deeper damp problem, we’ll sort the surface and point you to our mould and damp removal service to fix the underlying cause first.
