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, 44.0% of homes here (about 3,650 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, 28.4% of homes here (about 2,350 households): rooms are often compact, and the hall, stairs and landing together are frequently the most worthwhile single job.
- Detached houses, 20.9% of homes here (about 1,730 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.
- Flats, 6.6% of homes here (about 547 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
39.1% of properties here were built after 1972, so many have facing brick that is best left unpainted, and outside jobs are more often fascias, bargeboards, porches and garden buildings. For a full sprayed render finish see exterior spraying in Wombwell; uPVC windows and doors are a separate service with their own coatings and guarantee, on our uPVC window painting page for Wombwell.
Woodwork, doors and staircases
26.7% of properties here were built since 2000, and new-build woodwork is usually primed MDF or softwood with one quick site coat, so a proper satin or eggshell topcoat makes a visible difference.

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. 26.7% of homes around Wombwell centre were built since 2000, and an empty new build before the furniture arrives is the easiest place to have walls and ceilings sprayed as well as the woodwork; for that fully sprayed finish see interior spraying in Wombwell.

What these figures mean for decorating in Wombwell
The tenure mix around Wombwell centre is close to typical, with 61.2% owner-occupied, 21.2% privately rented and 16.9% 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.
Detached and semi-detached houses make up 64.9% of homes here, against 58% across the areas we cover, with 44.0% semis on their own, and semis usually have side access, so a tower can go down the side without crossing a neighbour’s garden; where next door shares the frontage, we agree a clean dividing line with you.
How old the homes are, and why it matters for paint
40.0% of properties were built before 1940 and 39.1% 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.
- 2000 onwards, 26.7% (about 2,390 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.
- Built before 1919, 24.9% (about 2,230 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.
- 1945 to 1972, 20.6% (about 1,840 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, 15.1% (about 1,350 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, 12.4% (about 1,110 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.
The figures cover 8,291 households in the 11 neighbourhoods nearest Wombwell centre and 8,950 properties in the VOA count; outlying streets may differ, and we judge each house on the visit.
