Painters and decorators in East Dulwich: Homeowners vs renters
If you own your home
You’re responsible for any painting or decorating work. You don’t need planning permission for internal jobs, but if you're in a listed building or conservation area, double-check with your local council.
If you rent
Most landlords will expect you to request permission before painting, especially if you’re planning a bold colour change. Some might cover the cost if it's basic maintenance (e.g. freshening up tired walls). Check your tenancy agreement or speak to your letting agent.
