Staircase Painting Services
Spindles and Balustrades
Staircase spindles in Edwardian properties are individually turned. Where paint has built up and profile detail is lost, stripping back to bare timber is the correct approach.
Newel Posts and Handrails
Newel posts take more daily contact than spindles. Handrails are finished in a durable eggshell or satin. Flat matt on a handrail marks and wears quickly.
Stair Strings and Risers
Treads are not typically painted as they become slippery. Risers and strings are repainted as part of the staircase programme.
Access Planning
We work in sections and keep a safe walking route open throughout. Large Bassett properties spanning three floors are planned in detail.
Combined Staircase and Hallway
Staircases and hallways form a single visual experience. See our hallway painting page. For wider programmes, see interior painting.
Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment
We assess spindle count, newel post type, string profile, and condition of all elements.
2. Surface Preparation
Loose or failing paint is stripped from spindles and profile details. Bare timber is primed.
3. Undercoating
Full undercoat on all stripped or bare surfaces.
4. Phased Painting
We paint in sections, keeping the staircase accessible at all times.
5. Topcoat and Inspection
Final coats applied. All surfaces inspected before we leave.
