What is the ready painted service?
The ready painted service gives you the option to have your building factory painted by our professional team. This service is available on a selection of our shiplap sheds, summer houses, greenhouses, and playhouses. We use premium, fully opaque paint that with preservative properties that protects against UV, weather, mould and fungus.
Choose your favourite colour from one of our six serene shades, and your painted summer house, greenhouse or shed will have a stylish and eye-catching look, with a great quality finish.
What are the benefits of a ready painted shed?
Your building will be factory painted prior to installation, giving instant protection to the wood, saving you time and hassle.
Your building will benefit from our Paint Promise guarantee. This means the paint will last up to 3 years with minor care and attention - and the building will still benefit from its 10-year anti-rot guarantee! Please see our manufacturers recommendations for more details.

Our shed painting process
Our three stage painting process has been developed to ensure your
garden building is finished to the highest standard.
Step 1: Primer
We use a water-based isolating paint as a primer to minimise yellowing from knots and softwood with a large amount of heartwood.
Step 2: Paint
AQUATOP®, our fully opaque topcoat, provides extended protection against weathering. UV degradation, mould and fungal attack. Proprietary technology minimises micro foaming in the final paint finish, extending the coating’s durability.
Step 3: Touch up
We touch up any blemishes onsite during installation. Additional paint is supplied with the building on delivery for future touch ups.
*Paint Promise Guarantee - In most circumstances the paint we apply to your building will give the building up to 3 years without needing another coat or retreating. In exposed and coastal locations and on open elevations, wind, rain and strong sunlight can cause more rapid degradation of the protective film, therefore affecting the integrity of the paint.
