Woodwork & Gloss in Darlaston

Woodwork painting in Darlaston — skirting, doors, frames, stairs and bannisters. Rubbed down properly, finished in satin or gloss, no runs.

Woodwork is where a decorating job is judged. In the older Darlaston terraces the skirting and door frames have decades of paint on them, and the only way to a flat finish is to take the ridges out first rather than add another layer over them.

What's involved

Woodwork & Gloss in Darlaston, done properly

Rubbed back, not painted over

Ridges and runs sanded out, edges cut clean. It is the slow part and it is the reason the finish looks flat.

Knots and bare wood sealed

Knotting solution and primer where it is needed, so nothing bleeds through in a year.

Satin or gloss, your call

We will show you both. Satin hides more on old woodwork, gloss looks sharper on good wood.

Doors done off the hinge where needed

A door painted hanging always shows on the edges. Where it matters we take it off.

Good to know

Woodwork & Gloss — your questions

Can you get a smooth finish on old skirting?

Yes, but it is the preparation that does it. Decades of paint in a Darlaston terrace means real sanding before anything else. Anyone quoting a quick gloss over the top is selling you a year.

Satin or gloss?

Satin on old woodwork, nine times out of ten — it hides small imperfections that gloss lights up. On good, sound wood gloss looks sharper and lasts slightly better.

Do you paint stairs and bannisters?

Yes. We work in halves so you can still use the stairs, which matters in a terrace where there is only one way up.
