What Our Decorators Paint
Inside the house
- Walls and ceilings
- Skirting boards and architraves
- Interior doors and frames
- Staircases, spindles and handrails
- Radiators
- Built-in wardrobes and panelling
The type of house changes the job more than anything else:
- Detached houses, 48.3% of homes here (about 586 households): bigger rooms, more doors and taller stairwells, so a whole-house repaint runs over several days and full rooms sit nearer the top of the range.
- Semi-detached houses, 30.4% of homes here (about 369 households): side access usually makes outside work simpler, and a full bedroom or living room tends to sit in the middle of our price range.
- Terraced houses, 15.2% of homes here (about 185 households): rooms are often compact, and the hall, stairs and landing together are frequently the most worthwhile single job.
- Flats, 6.0% of homes here (about 73 households): work is usually one or two rooms at a time, with lifts, stairs, parking and any communal areas checked at the visit.
Outside the house
- Render and masonry walls
- Soffits, fascias and bargeboards
- Timber cladding
- Garden walls and outbuildings
In the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where 55.0% of properties predate 1940, outside work is often on stone, lime render or old timber, which need breathable coatings rather than plastic masonry paint. For a full sprayed render finish see exterior spraying in Aysgarth; uPVC windows and doors are a separate service with their own coatings and guarantee, on our uPVC window painting page for Aysgarth.
Woodwork, doors and staircases
With about 750 properties here built before 1919, there are plenty of four-panel doors, deep skirtings and sash windows under decades of paint, which we fill, sand and refinish rather than paint over.

Brush, roller or spray: how we choose
We pick the method for each surface: walls and ceilings in furnished rooms are usually rollered with the edges cut in by brush, doors, frames, skirting, staircases and radiators are usually sprayed for a finish with no brush marks, and empty rooms, new builds and render are often sprayed throughout. 53.6% of homes around Aysgarth centre were built before 1919, and on old lime plaster we roller a breathable paint while the doors and skirtings can still be sprayed; if you would rather have every surface sprayed, see interior spraying in Aysgarth.

What these figures mean for decorating in Aysgarth
The tenure mix around Aysgarth centre is close to typical, with 68.9% owner-occupied, 21.3% privately rented and 8.9% social housing, so we decorate here for owners and landlords alike, and the difference is mainly the finish: hard-wearing and easy to touch up for a let, a wider choice of sheen and colour for your own home.
48.3% of homes are detached, 27.8 points above the 20% average for the areas we cover, which means long runs of skirting, more doors and tall stairwells; reaching a stairwell ceiling safely needs a stair platform or tower, allowed for in the fixed quote rather than added later. A detached house also has four elevations outside, and each can be priced separately if you would rather start with the front.
How old the homes are, and why it matters for paint
55.0% of properties were built before 1940 and 34.3% since 1973, so older surfaces with more layers of old paint and more filling are the norm here, and preparation is the larger part of most jobs.
- Built before 1919, 53.6% (about 750 properties): lime plaster and solid stone or brick walls want a breathable paint rather than vinyl emulsion, and old woodwork may hide lead paint, so it should be tested before any dry sanding.
- 1973 to 1999, 17.9% (about 250 properties): plasterboard walls paint well, but varnished pine doors and skirtings need keying and a stain-blocking primer or knots bleed through a pale colour.
- 2000 onwards, 16.4% (about 230 properties): walls usually carry a thin contract matt that marks easily, and shrinkage cracks in the first year or two are normal, so redecorating after that settling lasts better.
- 1945 to 1972, 12.1% (about 170 properties): textured ceiling coatings are common, and any applied before 2000 can contain asbestos, so they should be painted over or tested, never sanded or scraped.
Aysgarth is inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Redecorating inside a house needs no consent, but listed buildings are the exception: works that affect their character, such as stripping historic finishes, can need listed building consent from the National Park Authority.
The figures cover 1,214 households in the 2 neighbourhoods nearest Aysgarth centre and 1,400 properties in the VOA count; outlying streets may differ, and we judge each house on the visit.
