About
A specialist crew with a builder behind it.
Stay Dry Coatings is an Acorn Home business. We do one thing — clean and protect the outside of buildings — but we're part of a firm that can also fix what the survey turns up.
On the tools
Our jobs, not stock photos.
The job photos on this site were taken by our own team, on our own work. This is what that looks like mid-job.


Why we set it up separately
Cleaning and coating is specialist work. It needs the right training, the right access equipment and a proper understanding of what each surface will and won't take. Running it as its own business means the people doing it do it every day, rather than fitting it around other trades.
Being part of Acorn Home matters too. A lot of exterior problems turn out to be something else — a leaking gutter, a slipped tile, rotten fascia, failed pointing. A cleaning company shrugs at that. We can put it right.
Official applicator
BBA cert 24/7310
Coloured roof systemsProPERLA approved applicator
We're trained and approved by the manufacturer to apply the ProPERLA range. That approval is what allows an official manufacturer's guarantee to be issued at all — guarantees come from ProPERLA UK Ltd, signed and stamped, not from us alone. They're valid where the products have been applied to a suitable, properly prepared surface in line with the manufacturer's data sheet.
How we work
Every job starts with a free survey. Someone comes out, looks at the actual surface, measures up, checks access and talks through the options. Then you get an itemised written quotation covering cleaning, preparation, any repairs and the coating system.
We don't do instant online prices. You can't price a roof off a postcode, and anyone who tells you otherwise is going to revise it when they turn up.
The bit most people don't say
Not every surface should be coated. Painted timber, unstable render, roofs that need repairing, damp that's actually coming from a leak — coating those is a waste of your money and it fails eventually. If we find that at the survey we'll tell you, and we'd rather lose the job than take it.
Where we work
Merseyside, Wirral and West Lancashire. Local enough that the same crew who did your neighbour's roof will do yours, and local enough that a bad job would follow us around. See the full list of areas.
