Kandy's cool, damp hill climate is difficult for paint. Walls dry slowly, mould and algae take hold on shaded elevations, and a finish that would be fine in Colombo can green over within a year here.
Ask for an anti-fungal wash and a mould-resistant coating on shaded and north-facing walls. It costs more than standard emulsion but is the difference between repainting in three years and scrubbing green growth off every wet season.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about finding a tradesperson in Kandy? Here are the answers homeowners ask most.
Algae and mould thrive on damp, shaded surfaces in the hill country. Washing with an anti-fungal solution before painting and using a mould-resistant coating is the only durable answer; painting straight over growth simply feeds it.
In the driest stretch you can find, and never onto a wall that has not dried out. Hill-country humidity means paint takes longer to cure than in Colombo, so allow more time between coats than the tin suggests.
