Worcester’s Staircase Painting Specialists
Staircase Walls and Ceiling Void
The staircase ceiling void can be 5 to 7 metres at the highest point. Access equipment is included. For standalone ceiling painting, see our dedicated page.
Balustrading and Spindles
Your decorator works by hand on period spindle sets, reaching between each spindle. Overcoated spindle detail disappears under successive layers.
Stair Risers and Treads
Painted stair risers face repeated impact. Your decorator sands, fills, and primes riser faces before any finish coat.
Wider Interior Programme
Staircase and hallway are typically painted as a connected space. See our interior painting page.
