Choices to weigh up in Rugeley

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.

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.

Before you book in Rugeley

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 Rugeley do you work in?

We cover WS15 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Rugeley, neighbouring Hednesford and Heath Hayes 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.

Does Cannock Chase District Council need to approve my decorating?

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