Most of Birmingham's houses are red brick, so exterior painting is usually about the parts that were designed to be painted: timber bay windows, sills, porches, fascias, soffits and render on gables and upper floors.

Bay windows, render bands and inter-war semis
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Moseley, Kings Heath and Bournville often have deep timber bays and decorative porches. These take time to prepare properly – old paint scraped back, soft timber repaired, joints filled – but they set the look of the whole front.
Inter-war semis in Hall Green, Erdington and Sutton Coldfield frequently have painted render on the upper floor or around the bays. Painters typically wash it down, repair cracks and repaint in masonry paint, doing fascias and soffits at the same time while access is up.

Weather and timing in West Midlands
The West Midlands conurbation is fairly sheltered with moderate rainfall, so exterior painting is usually planned for late spring to early autumn. Red-brick Victorian and inter-war housing dominates, with painted woodwork, bay windows and pebble-dashed or rendered gables being the most common outside jobs.

Exterior painting in Birmingham: common questions
Should I paint the brickwork on my Birmingham house?
If it has never been painted, it's usually best left alone. Paint the woodwork and any already-painted render instead.
Can exterior painting be done from ladders on a Birmingham semi?
Sometimes, but towers or scaffolding are often safer and allow better preparation on two-storey houses. Your quotes should say what access is planned.
