A suburb that grew in stages
Walmley grew from a handful of houses along the road to Birmingham into a major suburb, and after the Second World War it expanded quickly as new estates were built. Around the centre much of the housing is pre-war, while towards the edges there are 1970s homes and newer estates such as New Hall, built in phases from the 1980s, and the more recent New Hall Manor. Each period brings different decorating needs, so we look at what your house is made of before recommending an approach.
Decorating newer homes in Walmley
Newer homes often have builder's-grade paint that has become tired or marked, and any fresh plaster needs time to dry before it takes paint properly. We apply a mist coat to new plaster, fill and caulk any hairline shrinkage cracks that appear as the house settles, and cut in cleanly around open-plan layouts and large windows. Many newer homes have long sight lines, so a consistent finish across walls and ceilings matters.
Older homes and textured ceilings
Pre-war and 1970s homes often need more preparation: filling cracks, making good old plaster and sanding woodwork back to a sound surface. Textured ceilings in homes of that age should be tested before they're sanded or scraped, because some older textured coatings contain asbestos. If you're unsure, ask us and we'll explain the options before any work starts.

Questions about decorating in Walmley
Do you decorate new-build homes in Walmley?
Yes. New plaster needs a mist coat and enough drying time before the finish coats, and we'll advise on timing. Tell us when the house was built and we'll plan from there.
Do you cover roads near New Hall Valley and Penns Lane?
Yes. We cover Walmley, including the roads around Walmley Road, Penns Lane and New Hall Valley, and the neighbouring areas of Wylde Green, Boldmere and Sutton Coldfield.
Can textured ceilings be painted over?
Often, yes, but it depends on the coating and its condition. In older homes, textured ceilings should be tested before they're sanded or scraped, so ask us before you remove anything and we'll explain what's possible.
