Painting and decorating in Codsall

What should you know before starting in Codsall?

There's normally nothing to apply for. South Staffordshire Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Masonry paint helps keep rain out of render as well as improving its look.
Changing a dark colour to a light one usually needs an extra coat.
Labelled spare paint makes small touch-ups easy later on.

Choices to weigh up in Codsall

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.

Interior walls and ceilings

Filling cracks and holes, sanding, sealing stains and applying two or more coats of emulsion. We'll suggest a finish to suit each room, such as matt for living rooms and wipeable or moisture-resistant paint for kitchens and bathrooms. Newly plastered walls get a mist coat first so the paint bonds properly.

Before you book in Codsall

How much does it cost to paint the outside of a house?

For a typical semi, painting rendered walls and exterior woodwork usually costs around £1,200–£3,500 in the West Midlands, depending on the condition of the surfaces, the amount of woodwork and whether scaffolding is needed. Terraces with front elevations only cost less. Repairs to render or timber are priced separately.

Which postcodes in Codsall do you work in?

We cover WV8 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Codsall, neighbouring Perton and Tettenhall are covered too.

What guarantee comes with decorating?

Paints carry their manufacturers' terms, which are set out in your quote. How long a finish lasts depends on the surface, the room's use and, outside, the exposure to weather. If anything isn't right at the final walk-round, we put it right before we finish.

Will I need permission from the council in Codsall?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where South Staffordshire Council would need to give listed building consent first.
