Choices to weigh up in Wednesbury

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.

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.

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.

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.

Does Sandwell Council need to approve my decorating?

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