Wideopen grew up along the old Great North Road, with coal mining in the surrounding area shaping its early development. Today it sits between Gosforth Park to the south and Seaton Burn to the north, with Hazlerigg and Brunswick Village close by. The housing reflects that history: older terraces and cottages near the main road, interwar and post-war semis and bungalows on the residential streets behind, and newer developments added over recent decades as the village has become popular with commuters and families.
Many homes in Wideopen date from the mid twentieth century and are solidly built, but decades of family life leave their mark. Walls may have hairline cracks, ceilings can have textured finishes, and woodwork is often thick with old gloss or yellowed with age. Updating these surfaces properly means filling, sanding and priming before new colour goes on. Our interior wall painting covers that preparation as standard, giving a smooth, modern finish. For hallways and stairs, which take the most knocks, we can suggest washable paints and practical colours that hide everyday marks.
Wideopen sits on fairly flat, open ground north of the city, and wind and rain can sweep across from the surrounding fields. Exterior timber, garage doors, gates and fences show wear over time, and rendered or pebbledashed walls may become patchy and stained. We clean, scrape, fill and prime before applying durable coatings. If you are updating the outside of a semi or bungalow, our exterior painting can refresh walls, fascias, soffits, windows and doors together for a consistent finish. We keep work areas tidy and respect your home throughout.
A new colour scheme, updated woodwork and fresh ceilings can make a big difference. Light, warm neutrals help rooms feel brighter and more spacious, while a deeper shade on a feature wall adds interest. Repainting dated doors and skirting in a modern satin finish gives a cleaner look, and outside, fresh fascias and window frames lift the whole property.
Pebbledash should be cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, algae and loose material, and any hollow or cracked areas repaired first. A masonry paint designed for textured surfaces, applied with a suitable roller or brush, gives good coverage. Working the paint into the texture is important, and two coats usually give the most even, durable finish.
Consider the colour of your brickwork or render, window frames and roof, as well as neighbouring houses. Deep blues, greens, greys and classic black suit most homes, while softer shades can work well on bungalows. Use an exterior paint designed for doors, which gives a durable finish that copes with weather and handling.
Cracks along the top of skirting boards usually come from small movements between the timber and the wall. Rake out loose filler, then apply a flexible decorator's caulk, which can cope with slight movement, before painting. Using a quality undercoat and topcoat on the boards themselves helps create a crisp, lasting finish.
Many people start with the hallway and stairs because they take the most wear and set the tone for the whole house. Others prefer to begin with the room they use most. Either way, planning a colour palette that flows between connected spaces gives a cohesive feel. Ceilings should always be painted before walls.
Great communication and a premium finish. Highly recommend Painters Newcastle.
