Which options suit homes in Hagley?

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.

Woodwork and doors

Skirting boards, architraves, doors, banisters and window boards are sanded, filled, primed where bare and finished in gloss, satin or eggshell. Water-based finishes dry faster and yellow less than oil-based ones. Getting woodwork right takes time, especially on older homes with many layers of paint.

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.

How do I book a survey in Hagley?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your decorating and arrange a time to visit.

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 Bromsgrove District Council need to approve my decorating?

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