Block Management Painting & Decorating in Four Oaks
Four Oaks has more period mansion-block conversions per square mile than most of the West Midlands — large Edwardian and inter-war houses subdivided into 4–8 flats with shared entrances, panelled hallways and stained-glass stairwells. The detail in these buildings is the reason people live in them, and a careless redecoration ruins them.
Original timber panelling and dado rails are common in the entrance halls and need water-based satin rather than thick gloss.
Many blocks have stained-glass front-door panels — these need full masking before any wall paint goes near them.
Off-road parking is usually fine here, so external works don't need bay suspensions.
