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:
- Semi-detached houses, 47.3% of homes here (about 1,880 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.
- Detached houses, 37.9% of homes here (about 1,500 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.
- Terraced houses, 7.9% of homes here (about 313 households): rooms are often compact, and the hall, stairs and landing together are frequently the most worthwhile single job.
- Flats, 6.8% of homes here (about 270 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
66.3% of properties were built between 1919 and 1972, when pebbledash and roughcast were common, and those textured walls are where spraying beats a roller. For a full sprayed render finish see exterior spraying in Kirk Ella; uPVC windows and doors are a separate service with their own coatings and guarantee, on our uPVC window painting page for Kirk Ella.
Woodwork, doors and staircases
Most woodwork here belongs to the 42.3% of homes built from 1945 to 1972 or the 24.0% built between the wars, so expect flush or panelled doors with several old layers of gloss to key back before recoating.

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. In the semi-detached houses that make up 47.3% of homes around Kirk Ella centre, a lived-in room usually gets rollered walls and sprayed doors, skirting and stairs; if you want the walls sprayed too, see interior spraying in Kirk Ella.

When the homes were built
What these figures mean for decorating in Kirk Ella
88.7% of homes around Kirk Ella centre are owner-occupied, 25.9 points above the 63% average for the areas we cover, and only 8.0% are privately rented. When you are decorating a home you mean to stay in, money is best spent on preparation, because filling, sanding and priming properly decide whether the finish still looks good in five years.
37.9% of homes are detached, 17.4 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
29.8% of properties were built before 1940 and 27.5% since 1973, a genuinely mixed stock, so one street can need old plaster repaired and the next only a light key and two finish coats; we check each wall and piece of woodwork at the survey rather than assuming.
- 1945 to 1972, 42.3% (about 1,830 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.
- 1919 to 1939, 24.0% (about 1,040 properties): lath-and-plaster ceilings, picture rails and panelled doors are typical, and fine ceiling cracks need cutting out and filling or they come back through new paint.
- 1973 to 1999, 15.5% (about 670 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, 12.0% (about 520 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.
The figures cover 3,967 households in the 6 neighbourhoods nearest Kirk Ella centre and 4,330 properties in the VOA count; outlying streets may differ, and we judge each house on the visit.
