Leicester’s Wood Painting Specialists
Interior Timber: Skirting, Architraves, Door Casings
Skirting boards, architraves, and door casings in period properties often carry multiple coats built up over decades. We cut in all junctions cleanly.
We use oil-based or water-based eggshell or satinwood on interior timber.
Period Joinery: Dado Rails, Picture Rails
Dado rails and picture rails in Stoneygate and Clarendon Park properties are part of the property’s character. We include them in every room quote.
Exterior Timber: Fascias, Soffits, Bargeboards
Where paint has built up to the point of peeling, the timber underneath may have moisture ingress. We check for softness at survey stage.
Leicester Decorators never skip the primer on exterior timber. See our exterior painting page.
Exterior Cladding and Outbuildings
Timber cladding on extensions and outbuildings requires preservative stains or exterior paints. See shed painting and fence painting pages.
Staining and Varnishing Exposed Timber
For exposed oak, pine, or engineered timber, we apply stains, oils, or clear varnishes. Interior staircase and floor timber requires a floor-grade product.
Here’s How It Works
1. Timber Assessment
We check all interior and exterior timber, paint condition, build-up, and any moisture damage.
2. Preparation
Interior timber sanded or stripped. Exterior timber sanded, open joints caulked, end grain sealed.
3. Priming
Appropriate primer applied to all prepared surfaces.
4. Topcoat Application
Oil-based or water-based eggshell, satinwood, or gloss applied by brush.
5. Final Check
All timber inspected. Junctions between timber and walls checked. Touch-ups completed.
