Painting outside in East Midlands: weather and permissions
The East Midlands is drier than average, which helps exterior work, though open countryside around the towns can make for windy, dusty days. Red brick is everywhere, so outside jobs tend to focus on window frames, fascias, doors and rendered or pebble-dashed walls rather than the brickwork itself.
Repainting in the existing colour rarely needs permission, but listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas covered by an Article 4 direction, can need consent to paint the front or change its colour. More on exterior painting.
