Which options suit homes in Perton?

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 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.

Expect to budget between £280 and £3,500 depending on size and specification in Perton. Double bedroom: walls and ceiling in two coats of emulsion, with skirting, door and frame: typically £380–£600.

Questions about painting and decorating in Perton

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.

How do I book a survey in Perton?

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Perton?

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