Which options suit homes in Tettenhall?

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.

Woodwork and doors

Skirting boards, architraves, doors, banisters and window boards are sanded, filled, primed where bare and finished in gloss, satin or eggshell. Water-based finishes dry faster and yellow less than oil-based ones. Getting woodwork right takes time, especially on older homes with many layers of paint.

Before you book in Tettenhall

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 Tettenhall?

Yes. Tettenhall (WV6) is about 9 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 much does it cost to decorate a room?

In the West Midlands, painting the walls and ceiling of a double bedroom with the skirting, door and frame usually costs around £380–£600, including paint. A hall, stairs and landing typically costs £650–£1,200 because of the height and woodwork. Rooms in poor condition need more preparation and cost more.

Will I need permission from the council in Tettenhall?

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