Exterior paint shouldn't be applied in rain, frost or on damp surfaces.
Older paint layers in homes built before the 1960s may contain lead.

Options to consider in Kinver

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 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.

How much should you budget in Kinver?

For a home in Kinver, our guide range is £280–£3,500 depending on size and specification. Double bedroom: walls and ceiling in two coats of emulsion, with skirting, door and frame: usually £380–£600.

Painting and decorating in Kinver: common questions

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.

Do you cover Kinver?

Yes. Kinver (DY7) is about 10 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Does South Staffordshire Council need to approve my decorating?

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