Glossy, glass-smooth woodwork is the difference between a redecorated room and a finished one. Our verified decorators de-nib, undercoat and build up finishes by hand or spray, leaving doors, skirting and staircases without brush marks or dust in the finish.

FAQ

Woodwork & Finishing: frequently asked questions

Gloss gives the toughest, most wipeable shine for high-traffic areas. Satin and eggshell offer a softer sheen that hides imperfections and suits more modern interiors. Your decorator can advise per room.

Yes. Spraying gives a flawless factory-like finish on doors and stair spindles, usually off-site or with careful masking. It is quoted separately from hand painting.

Sanding to a dull key, filling imperfections, then a suitable primer. Very thick, damaged or lead-based paint may need stripping, which your decorator will flag in the quote.

A room of skirting and one door typically takes one to two days across multiple coats. Each coat needs drying time, so decorators quote in working days rather than hours.
