Staircase Painting Services
Banister and Spindle Painting
Each turned spindle has four faces. We work by hand, loading brushes lightly and working in sequence down each spindle. This produces a clean finish without drips.
Stair Tread and Riser Painting
We use hard-wearing floor paint or eggshell depending on the timber type. We advise against matt finishes for horizontal tread surfaces.
Multi-Storey Staircase Projects
We plan multi-storey projects in full before starting. Top floor down to ground, with each section dry before moving lower. See our hallway painting page for hallway walls.
Staircase Woodwork Finishes
We recommend eggshell or satin rather than full gloss for banisters. For ceiling painting on stairwell landings, we include this as part of the programme.
Here’s How It Works
1. Full Staircase Assessment
We check the number of floors, access points, and existing paint build-up before quoting.
2. Sequence Planning
We map 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.
