Choices to weigh up in Warwick

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.

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.

Questions about painting and decorating in Warwick

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.

Which postcodes in Warwick do you work in?

We cover CV34 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Warwick, neighbouring Leamington Spa and Kenilworth 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.

Who approves painting and decorating in Warwick?

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