Options to consider in Tipton

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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 Tipton do you work in?

We cover DY4 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tipton, neighbouring Tividale and Coseley are covered too.

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 Tipton?

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