Wood Painting Services
Interior Woodwork
Interior woodwork includes skirtings, architraves, panelled doors, picture rails, and window sills. Our full interior painting service covers all these elements. For full programmes, staircase painting is included.
Exterior Timber
Exterior timber is under significantly more stress. We strip back to sound timber at all joints. See our window frame painting and front door painting pages.
Timber Stripping and Restoration
Where timber has been painted repeatedly and the surface is thick or clogged, stripping is the correct starting point. The restored bare surface holds subsequent coats better.
Oil and Natural Finishes
Some timber is better suited to an oil or wax finish. Hardwood window sills and garden gates benefit from a penetrating oil that provides weather protection.
Here’s How It Works
1. Timber Assessment
We assess surface condition, paint layers, and extent of any rot or soft sections.
2. Stripping Where Required
Joints, end grain, and failing sections stripped to sound timber.
3. Remedial Repair
Cracks and rot-affected areas repaired with filler or timber repair compound.
4. Priming and Undercoating
Full timber primer on bare sections. Undercoat on all timber before finish.
5. Topcoat Application
Appropriate finish for surface type and use. Interior in eggshell or satin.
6. Inspection
All timber inspected. Touch-ups and missed sections addressed on the day.
