Should textured masonry coatings be applied to non-wall areas such as gutters etc?

NO, wall coatings are not suited to upvc.  During the 1980′s there were some companies who did this and soon realised it was a huge mistake to apply exterior coating on surfaces like drainpipes and fascias.As a result, they got loads of what’s known in the trade as “service calls” and had to go back and put the jobs right, until it got too much and they went out of business, and usually started up again using a different name.

NPA offer a full exterior refurbishment for your house, so we can not only repair the walls, but also replace the doors, windows, soffits, fascias etc, so in essence we provide a complete maintenance free exterior for your home at a price that will surprise you. As a general rule, we normally work on EXTERIOR walls, not internal.

Exterior wall coatings are designed only for the outside walls of typical buildings such as houses or factories, they should never be applied to any surface that is not designed to accept coatings of paint. There are special UPVC coatings and paints available but we do not stock them, sorry. They are normally used for changing the colour of double glazed windows, for example from white to brown.

If you would like to hear about having an exterior wall coating on your walls (NOT your windows!) then why not get in touch?
