Conservation & listed buildings

Consent may be needed before changing external colours on listed buildings.

What this covers

Colour and finish work where conservation area or listed-building rules apply.

Before the painter arrives

• Clear small items and wall hangings from rooms being painted if you can.
• Keep children and pets away from ladders, wet paint and dust from prep.
• If the building may have old lead paint, ask how dust will be controlled under HSE guidance.
