Staircase Painting Services
Banister and Spindle Painting
Each turned spindle has four faces. Your decorator works by hand, loading brushes lightly and working in sequence down each spindle. This produces a clean finish without drips.
Stair Tread and Riser Painting
Your decorator uses hard-wearing floor paint or eggshell depending on the timber type. Your decorator advises against matt finishes for horizontal tread surfaces.
Multi-Storey Staircase Projects
Your decorator plans multi-storey projects in full before starting. Top floor down to ground, with each section dry before moving lower. See the hallway painting page for hallway walls.
Staircase Woodwork Finishes
Your decorator recommends eggshell or satin rather than full gloss for banisters. For ceiling painting on stairwell landings, your decorator includes this as part of the programme.
Here’s How It Works
1. Full Staircase Assessment
Your decorator checks the number of floors, access points, and existing paint build-up before quoting.
2. Sequence Planning
Your decorator maps out the work order floor by floor so safe access is maintained throughout.
3. Preparation
Sanding loose paint. Filling cracks between spindle bases and strings. Priming bare timber.
4. Stair-by-Stair Application
Each section painted in sequence with one safe side always available.
5. Final Inspection
Inspection under different lighting angles for runs, missed areas, or pooling.
