Exterior painting in East of England: what to plan for

East Anglia and the Home Counties are among the driest areas of the country, which suits exterior painting. Open, flat land means homes on the edge of towns can be windy and dusty, and the region's many timber-clad, flint and colour-washed buildings each need their own type of paint.

Most homeowners can repaint the outside of their house without asking anyone. The exceptions are listed buildings and some conservation areas, where a change of colour or finish may need the council's approval. More on exterior painting.
