Leicester’s Staircase Painting Specialists
Spindles, Newel Posts, and Handrails
Original staircase spindles and newel posts often have multiple layers of old paint. We assess each staircase and advise on the right preparation.
Handrails are the highest-use element. We prime and topcoat them to a finish that withstands daily use.
String Boards and Skirting
String boards, skirting boards, and stair wall skirting are prepared and painted as part of the project. Where carpet has been removed, stair risers and treads may need painting or staining.
This is common in Clarendon Park and Stoneygate where owners are restoring original timber floors.
Stairwell Walls, Ceilings, and Landings
Stairwell Walls and Ceiling
Stairwell walls in three-storey properties require access staging. Leicester Decorators plan access equipment at the site visit.
Dado rails running the full height of a Victorian staircase wall are prepared and painted separately.
Landing Areas
Landings at each floor level are painted as part of the staircase project. See our hallway painting page for combined projects.
Landings in Clarendon Park three-storey townhouses can have their own period features.
Here’s How It Works
1. Staircase Survey
We walk the staircase and stairwell, assess access requirements, and confirm the platform setup needed.
2. Surface Preparation
Spindles, newels, and handrails assessed for paint build-up. Stairwell walls checked.
3. Access Platform Installation
Working platform positioned safely. All stair access maintained throughout.
4. Woodwork Priming and Painting
Each element prepared, primed where needed, and finished with undercoat and topcoat.
5. Stairwell Walls and Ceiling
Two finish coats applied. Dado rail and coving junctions cut in by hand.
6. Inspection and Completion
Every surface inspected. Touch-ups completed. Working platform removed.
