County town homes and new communities
New communities on the edge of Taunton bring plenty of first-redecoration work: settlement cracks filled, contract white replaced and children's rooms painted in brighter colours.
Older homes nearer the centre and in surrounding villages may have solid walls and damp-prone areas, where breathable paints and good preparation make a difference.

Exterior painting in South West England: what to plan for
The South West is mild but wet, with Atlantic weather reaching Devon and Cornwall first. Masonry needs a dry spell before it is painted, and coastal homes face salt and driving rain, so breathable masonry paints and well-prepared woodwork make a real difference. Bath stone and Cotswold stone are usually left unpainted.
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.
