Interior painting and decorating in Tipton, Great Bridge, Princes End and Ocker Hill. Dust sheets down, fixed price agreed before we start, home left spotless.
Filling, sanding, caulking and priming before a top coat goes anywhere near the wall.
Priced by the room and written down before we lift a brush, so you know the cost on day one.
Floors covered, sockets off, lines cut in by hand. The room comes back ready to use.
Contract emulsion covers in two coats and stays put. Small part of the cost, most of the difference.
Three short walls, a window board and a ceiling line that turns twice. Slow to cut in, and the first thing anyone notices when it is done badly.
Water marks and salt stains get a stain-blocking primer before any colour goes on. Without it the mark is back within a week, whatever the paint was.
The 1930s semis off Dudley Port and the canal-side terraces around Great Bridge have deep skirtings, picture rails and walls with a lot of history in them. That is worth painting properly rather than quickly: the preparation is most of the labour and all of the finish.
The 1930s semis also mean bay windows, and a big bay is a room in itself, three narrow walls, a deep board and a ceiling line that changes direction. Ground-floor rooms near the canal often carry an old tide mark too, where damp came and went years ago, and that brown stain comes straight back through ordinary emulsion.

An average Tipton bedroom is a day, walls and ceiling, including preparation. A through-lounge in one of the Great Bridge terraces is usually two. If the walls need real filling we say so before we start.
Yes. We move what we can to the middle and sheet it, and we put it all back. You do not need to empty the room before we arrive.
The 1930s semis around Tipton are full of them and they are worth doing properly, cut in by hand, not masked and rushed. It adds time and it is what makes the room look finished.
The size of the room matters less than what is in it. A bay, a picture rail, a stained ceiling or a lot of filling all add time, and time is what the job costs. A photo of the room sent on WhatsApp is enough for a proper price to follow.
It is an old water stain or salts left behind by damp, and emulsion will not hold it back. It needs a stain-blocking primer first. If the wall is still damp rather than just stained, that has to be sorted before any painting, and you will be told which it is.
Yes. It is the tallest wall in a Tipton semi and the one people leave longest because of the drop over the stairs. It is painted from a platform set on the stairs, with the stairs kept usable while the work goes on.
