Door Painting Services
Interior Door Painting
Interior doors in period properties have a specific painting sequence. Moulded recesses first, then rails and stiles. We use oil-based or water-based eggshell or satin depending on the finish required. We also offer dedicated garage door painting services.
External Door Painting
External doors face rain, UV, and temperature change. We use a weather-resistant primer on bare timber and a suitable exterior topcoat. See our front door painting page for front entrances.
Panelled Door Sequence
Original Victorian panelled doors have raised surrounds with recessed cavities. We assess whether stripping back is required before repainting.
Glazed and French Doors
We apply masking tape to the glass edge and remove it while the paint is slightly soft. For French doors, we treat each face with the appropriate product. See our exterior painting page.
Here’s How It Works
1. Door Assessment
We check existing paint condition, look for soft timber, and discuss colour and finish preferences.
2. Surface Preparation
Sanding to key the surface. Filling holes or dents. Stripping heavily built-up profiles if required.
3. Masking
All door furniture masked. Glazed panels masked with tape applied to the glass edge.
4. Paint Application
Moulded recesses first, then rails and stiles. Two coats of topcoat with sanding between.
5. Inspection
Masking removed at the correct stage. Door checked for runs and missed areas.

A flush door takes less time than a four-panel Victorian door with moulded surrounds.

Stripping built-up profiles or repairing soft timber adds time.
