Which option fits your home?

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.

Questions about painting and decorating in Warwickshire

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.

Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?

Yes — we cover Warwickshire from our West Bromwich base, including Coventry, Solihull and Birmingham. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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

For a typical semi, painting rendered walls and exterior woodwork usually costs around £1,200–£3,500 in the West Midlands, depending on the condition of the surfaces, the amount of woodwork and whether scaffolding is needed. Terraces with front elevations only cost less. Repairs to render or timber are priced separately.

Does the council need to approve my decorating?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where the district or borough council for your town would need to give listed building consent first.
