Front Door Painting Services
Timber Front Door Strip and Repaint
Where paint layers are thick or peeling, a full strip back is the correct start. We apply timber primer, undercoat, and two finish coats in a weather-resistant exterior finish.
Frames and Porch Surrounds
Porch surrounds include corniced hoods, timber columns, and moulded frames. We include these in the quote. For wider exterior work, see our exterior painting page.
Weather-Resistant Finishes
Salt-laden air shortens the service life of exterior finishes. A flexible, UV-resistant finish makes a meaningful difference. These principles also apply to window frame painting.
Pre-Sale Front Door Repaints
A freshly painted front door lifts kerb appeal significantly. We complete work in one to two days and manage around your estate agent’s schedule. We also offer dedicated door painting services.


Here’s How It Works
1. Door Assessment
We check condition of door, frame, and porch surround.
2. Preparation
Stripping where necessary, filling, and sanding. Bare timber receives full wood primer.
3. Priming and Undercoating
Timber primer and undercoat applied in sequence for lasting adhesion.
4. Finish Coat
Two topcoats of weather-resistant exterior gloss or satin. Door furniture is masked.
5. Final Check
Door and surround inspected in natural light. Touch-ups completed before we leave.

Prices below are estimates only. Call 023 8001 5722 for a precise quote.

Preparation Required
A door needing full strip costs more than one with a sound existing finish.
Door Complexity
Panelled Edwardian doors with glazed fanlights take longer than simple flat-panel doors.
Porch Surround Scope
Including frame, architrave, and porch columns adds time but produces a complete result.
