Which options suit homes in Droitwich Spa?

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.

Exterior woodwork and metal

Fascias, bargeboards, timber windows, doors, gates and railings are scraped, sanded, repaired where needed, primed and painted. Rotten sections are cut out and spliced or filled before painting. Metal is wire-brushed and treated for rust. This work makes timber and metalwork last much longer.

What does your decorating cost in Droitwich Spa?

Expect to budget between £280 and £3,500 depending on size and specification in Droitwich Spa. Double bedroom: walls and ceiling in two coats of emulsion, with skirting, door and frame: typically £380–£600.

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.

Which postcodes in Droitwich Spa do you work in?

We cover WR9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Droitwich Spa, neighbouring Worcester and Bromsgrove are covered too.

Can I stay in the house while you decorate?

Yes. We work room by room, so most of the house stays usable. Rooms being painted need clearing of small items and furniture moved to the middle. Water-based paints have little smell, but we'll keep rooms ventilated, and you may want to keep pets away while paint dries.

Does Wychavon District Council need to approve my decorating?

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