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.
