Before painting the outside: East of England
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.
If your home is listed or sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, check with the council before changing the exterior colour. Otherwise, repainting is normally just a matter of picking the right weather. More on exterior painting.
Why painting quotes vary around Bury St Edmunds
Beyond the size of the job, a few things specific to Bury St Edmunds can push a decorating quote up or down:
- Traditional paints: limewash and mineral paints take skill.
- Listed status: consent may be required.
- Room count: several rooms together is usually better value.
