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.
Ridges and runs sanded out, edges cut clean. It is the slow part and it is the reason the finish looks flat.
Knotting solution and primer where it is needed, so nothing bleeds through in a year.
We will show you both. Satin hides more on old woodwork, gloss looks sharper on good wood.
A door painted hanging always shows on the edges. Where it matters we take it off.

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