Which options suit homes in Kingswinford?

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.

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.
