Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

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.

Which postcodes in Quinton do you work in?

We cover B62 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Quinton, neighbouring Rowley Regis and Halesowen are covered too.

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 Quinton?

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