About Technical Paint Services
Technical Paint Services is an independent paint manufacturer and supplier, offering a range of specialist paints and coatings, trade paints and a technical paint advice service. Please call or email with details of your enquiry or order. When using EMAIL, PLEASE provide as much information as possible with regard to the surface to be painted, such as new or old, previously treated or bare, the environment (such as a humid pool area or a floor with high levels of traffic/footfall), etc. Thank you.
Please note we are not decorating contractors and do not provide a painting/application service.
We offer a full, free advisory service to help you before you paint. Just EMAIL US with a broad outline of your project, ideally with photos to show the condition of the substrate. We will assess your situation and give you our recommendations along with a painting specification and timings to help achieve your end result. If the condition of the substrate is too damaged or outside of our product range, then we will advise you accordingly.
We have a vast range of mainstream and specialist products suitable for industrial, commercial, coastal, rural or city environments. We also have over 75 years of expertise to call upon so we rarely come across a requirement we haven’t seen before and we can supply both water based and solvent based systems for professional and trade use.
Popular, specialist paints include Swimming Pool Paint, Swimming Pool Hall & Enclosure Paint, Squash Court Paint and Tennis Court Paint which are available in the majority of colours and finishes across the BS4800 and RAL colour ranges. There is a demand from decorators for alternatives to lead-based paints which we are pleased to manufacture and continue to offer as excellent options to lead products; please see our A49 Exterior Range.

As the seasons change, it is important that you are aware of the optimum weather and temperature conditions for maximising your painting opportunities.
SUMMER IS HERE - TIME TO PAINT SMART!
At last, summer has arrived - and with it, warmer days, longer evenings, and the perfect opportunity to tackle those big exterior painting projects you’ve been putting off. Whether you’re looking to freshen up your swimming pool, repaint a roof, or give your industrial units or agricultural buildings a long-overdue makeover, now’s the time to get the brushes out.
Make the Most of the Weather - But Be Paint-Savvy.
Summer offers excellent conditions for exterior painting - but it’s not without its challenges. While the warmer temperatures help surfaces dry out after a long, damp spring, high heat can also cause paints to dry too quickly. This can lead to issues like mud cracking, where the top layer dries before the layers beneath, causing an uneven, flaky finish.
To avoid this, follow these best practices:
- Paint early in the day or in the evening to avoid strong, direct sunlight.
- Work in shaded areas wherever possible, especially when painting metal or tarmac.
- Avoid over-thinning your paint - heat naturally makes coatings less viscous, so they may set too quickly if further diluted.
- Follow curing times carefully - “touch dry” does not mean the surface is ready for a second coat.
Great Projects to Tackle in Summer.
This is the ideal season to complete high-exposure or large-scale outdoor painting jobs, including:
- Swimming pools & pool houses
- Ponds & water features
- Roofs & solar-reflective coatings
- Tennis courts & MUGAs
- Industrial plant & silos
- Agricultural & commercial buildings
Summer conditions help dry out damp masonry, concrete, and metal, giving you a better base for long-lasting adhesion and a smooth, even finish.
Choosing the Right Paint for the Job.
In communal areas or high-use environments, low-odour, water-based paints are often the best choice. We offer an extensive range of both water-based and solvent-based coatings tailored for every surface and situation.
If you're battling solar gain from glass, metal, or asphalt roofing, we highly recommend our solar reflective and anti-glare coatings, available in both water-based and spirit-based formulations. These help to reflect heat and UV radiation, keeping buildings cooler and improving energy efficiency.
Technical Advice You Can Trust.
With over 75 years’ experience, we’re here to support you with detailed specifications, technical guidance and trusted application advice. Whatever your surface or project, we’ll help you choose the right solution.
So, take advantage of the dry weather and give your property or premises the protection it deserves.
