Painting and decorating in Pelsall

Before your decorating in Pelsall

There's normally nothing to apply for. Walsall Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Older paint layers in homes built before the 1960s may contain lead.
Dry sanding and burning off lead paint release harmful dust and fumes.
Listed buildings in Pelsall may need consent before their exterior colours change.

Choices to weigh up in Pelsall

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover Pelsall?

Yes. Pelsall (WS3) is about 8 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.

How long does decorating take?

A single room usually takes one to three days, depending on preparation and drying times between coats. A whole interior can take one to two weeks. Exterior painting needs dry weather and suitable temperatures, so a semi might take three to seven working days spread over a dry spell.

Will I need permission from the council in Pelsall?

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