Worcester’s Front Door Painting Specialists
Victorian and Georgian Panel Doors
Original Victorian front doors in Barbourne are typically four or six-panel designs. Many have been repainted many times. Your decorator assesses build-up and advises on whether stripping is needed. Dedicated door painting services are also available.
Colour Advice for Period Doors
Victorian terraces traditionally had deep tones: Brunswick green, gloss black, deep red, and navy. Farrow & Ball Railings, Studio Green, and Stiffkey Blue are used frequently.
Glazed Panel and Leaded Doors
Glazed panels are masked and protected before any painting. Leaded light panels in Droitwich Spa mock-Tudor properties need particular care.
Door Frame and Surround
The door frame and surround are included in all front door quotes. For full exterior programmes, see our exterior painting page.
The Front Door Painting Process
1. Door Assessment
Your decorator checks paint condition, build-up, ironmongery, and frame condition.
2. Stripping or Abrading
Heavily built-up or failing paint stripped. Sound paint abraded.
3. Priming
Bare timber receives exterior-grade primer.
4. Topcoat Application
Two coats of exterior gloss or satin with full drying time.
5. Ironmongery and Inspection
Tape removed. Ironmongery cleaned. Door checked in good light.
