Which options suit homes in Wednesfield?

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.

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.

Expect to budget between £280 and £3,500 depending on size and specification in Wednesfield. Double bedroom: walls and ceiling in two coats of emulsion, with skirting, door and frame: typically £380–£600.

Painting and decorating in Wednesfield: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Wednesfield?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your decorating and arrange a time to visit.

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.

Who approves painting and decorating in Wednesfield?

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