Options to consider in Walsall Wood

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.

Guide prices start at £280 and run to £3,500 depending on size and specification. Double bedroom: walls and ceiling in two coats of emulsion, with skirting, door and frame: around £380–£600.

Your questions answered

How long does decorating take?

A single room usually takes one to three days, depending on preparation and drying times between coats. A whole interior can take one to two weeks. Exterior painting needs dry weather and suitable temperatures, so a semi might take three to seven working days spread over a dry spell.

How much does it cost to paint the outside of a house?

Terraces with front elevations only cost less. Repairs to render or timber are priced separately.

Does Walsall Council need to approve my decorating?

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