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.
