the Severn Vale brings persistent westerly weather and high humidity, while Cotswold edge properties face exposed elevations. For Stroud mural painting customers that has practical consequences: the timing window for exterior work is tighter than people often assume, and interior rooms on north-facing elevations within the SN1 and SN1 areas are noticeably more prone to condensation. We factor both into the products and additives we recommend during the quote stage.
