Cyclical and external decoration in Powys
Cyclical decoration in Powys protects the building fabric when the pre-paint repairs are done properly. That is where we put the effort.
Social landlords in Powys can appoint us for cyclical decoration, from a single home to a programme. Powys County Council still owns council homes here, alongside housing association stock. We work to the Welsh Housing Quality Standard 2023 and to your own specification.

That is the UK range of £800–£3,600 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.93 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 0.88–0.98); figures are before VAT where the source states it.
