Around 970 of the 4,150 properties in the Valuation Office count date from those years: a lot of flush doors and plain skirtings carrying decades of brushed coats, which spraying levels into one hard, even finish.

Where Spraying Makes the Biggest Difference in Birkenshaw Homes
- Walls and ceilings. 18% of homes (about 740) date from 2000 or later; on plasterboard and skim a sprayed coat goes on flat with no roller stipple, and a washable sheen stands up to daily wear better than a builder's matt.
- Hall, stairs and landing. In the terraced and semi-detached houses that make up 66% of homes around Birkenshaw centre (about 2,650 households), the stairs usually rise straight from the hall, so the spindles, handrail and doors are the first thing anyone sees; spraying them together means one round of masking.
- Doors, frames and skirtings. 42% of properties (about 1,740) were built between 1945 and 1999, and their flush or moulded-panel doors and softwood skirtings have usually been brush-painted several times; keyed and sprayed, they come back to a hard, clean finish.
- Period joinery and plasterwork. With 38% of properties built before 1939, panelled doors, moulded skirtings, picture rails and, in the oldest rooms, cornicing are part of the picture, and those profiles are where brush marks collect while a sprayed coat stays crisp.
- Fitted furniture and radiators. Wardrobes and alcove units are sprayed in place, and radiators in heat-resistant coatings; see fitted furniture spraying.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Birkenshaw homes means for the paintwork
Only 17% of the 4,150 properties in the Valuation Office count were built before 1919, below the 21% average across the towns we cover. With 83% built since, most walls here are gypsum plaster or plasterboard, which suit a sprayed emulsion over a mist coat or primer, and lime plaster is the exception rather than the rule.
23% of properties were built between 1945 and 1972, below the 26% average across the towns we cover. In those 970 or so homes the walls are usually hard gypsum plaster, which takes a sprayed emulsion well, but textured ceiling coatings were common from the 1960s, which is worth knowing before any ceiling preparation starts. Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up 21% of the stock, above the 16% average across the towns we cover. Those 890 inter-war homes often keep picture rails, plaster coving and panelled or part-glazed doors, detail where brush marks and drips collect and a sprayed coat stays crisp.
Houses, flats and the shape of the job
The mix around Birkenshaw centre is broad: 27% detached, 40% semi-detached, 26% terraced and 7% flats; with no single typical layout the survey matters more than usual, because ceiling heights, staircase design and the number of doors off the hall all change how long a room takes.
Owners, landlords and choosing the finish
79% of homes are owner-occupied, above the 63% average across the towns we cover, and 15% privately rented; in a home you plan to stay in, the sheen matters as much as the colour: eggshell is the most popular choice on woodwork because it is washable and durable without the glare of gloss, and matt or eggshell suits most walls.
How Birkenshaw compares with nearby towns
