Masonry paint helps keep rain out of render as well as improving its look.
Older paint layers in homes built before the 1960s may contain lead.

Which option fits your home?

Exterior masonry and render

Cleaning, treating algae, filling cracks and applying masonry paint to rendered or pebbledashed walls. A good masonry paint protects the wall and keeps its colour. Exterior work on two-storey houses may need ladders, towers or scaffolding, which we include in the quote so you're not surprised.

Wallpaper and lining paper

Stripping old wallpaper, preparing the walls and hanging lining paper, plain or patterned paper, or feature walls. Lining paper can hide minor imperfections on older walls before painting. Patterned papers need careful setting out and matching, so the cost depends on the paper you choose.

Questions about painting and decorating in Cannock

How much does it cost to decorate a room?

In the West Midlands, painting the walls and ceiling of a double bedroom with the skirting, door and frame usually costs around £380–£600, including paint. A hall, stairs and landing typically costs £650–£1,200 because of the height and woodwork. Rooms in poor condition need more preparation and cost more.

Which postcodes in Cannock do you work in?

We cover WS11 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Cannock, neighbouring Heath Hayes and Hednesford are covered too.

Should I buy the paint myself?

You can, but we usually supply trade-quality paint, which covers better and lasts longer than many retail ranges. If you've chosen a particular brand or colour, tell us at survey and we'll price it in. Either way, the quote shows the paint type and the number of coats.

Does Cannock Chase District Council need to approve my decorating?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Cannock Chase District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
