Rules in the UK
Permissions and regulations.
Painting and decorating inside a home needs no planning permission. In older properties, take care with lead paint: dry sanding or burning it off releases harmful dust and fumes; see the HSE guidance on lead. Repainting the outside of a listed building, or in some conservation areas, can need consent, so check with your council.
General guidance only, based on gov.uk and the Planning Portal. Your council or building control has the final say.
Things to watch
- Fix the cause of damp before painting over it.
- Older homes can have lead paint: sanding it creates harmful dust.
- Good preparation takes time, and it is what makes the finish last.

FAQ
Painting and Decorating: your questions.
Can you help me choose colours?
Yes. Colour selection is part of our painting and decorating service.
Do you prepare the surfaces first?
Yes. Careful surface preparation comes before any paint goes on, which is what gives a clean, lasting finish.
Can you paint over damp patches?
Paint will not fix damp. The cause, such as a leak or poor ventilation, needs to be dealt with first, and the wall must dry out before decorating.
Is old paint in my house dangerous?
Paint in older homes can contain lead. It is safe while intact, but sanding or burning it off releases harmful dust and fumes, so it needs the right methods.
Do you give a warranty?
Yes. GONT LTD offers a 6-month warranty on its construction services. If an issue appears in that time, we come back and put it right.
