Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Before you book in Leamington Spa

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.

Do you cover Leamington Spa?

Yes. Leamington Spa (CV32) is about 25 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.

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.

Who approves painting and decorating in Leamington Spa?

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