Wood Painting Services
Interior Woodwork
Interior timber includes skirting boards, architraves, dado rails, picture rails, window reveals, and panelled doors. Your decorator uses eggshell or satin on most interior woodwork. See our staircase painting page for staircase timber.
Exterior Timber
Fascias, soffits, barge boards, window sills, and external doors all need exterior-rated products. See our exterior painting page for the full scope.
Stripping and Preparation
Heavy paint build-up on original joinery is common. Where the profile is obscured, stripping back restores the joinery to a condition worth painting.
Timber Panelling and Shutters
Original tongue-and-groove panelling and timber shutters in Jericho townhouses need careful preparation around joints and edges.
Here’s How It Works
1. Timber Assessment
Your decorator examines existing paint condition, looks for soft timber, and assesses paint build-up in moulded profiles.
2. Stripping or Preparation
Heavy build-up stripped where needed. All surfaces sanded to key the finish.
3. Priming
Bare timber receives appropriate primer. Exterior timber receives microporous exterior primer.
4. Topcoat Application
Two coats of the specified finish, sanded lightly between coats on interior work.
5. Inspection
All surfaces checked in good light for runs, missed areas, or build-up in recesses.
