Woodwork painting in Tipton — skirting, doors, frames, stairs and bannisters. Rubbed down properly, finished in satin or gloss, no runs.
The deep skirtings and panelled doors in the older Tipton housing are worth keeping, and they are also carrying eighty years of paint. Getting them flat means taking the ridges out first, not adding another coat on top of them.
Ridges and runs sanded out, edges cut clean. The slow part, and the reason it looks flat.
Knotting solution and primer where needed, so nothing bleeds through in a year.
Satin hides more on old woodwork; gloss looks sharper on sound wood. We will show you both.
Panelled doors and deep skirtings are worth the extra hour. We do not fill the detail in to save time.

Yes, but the preparation does it. Eighty years of paint in a Tipton semi means real sanding first. Anyone quoting a quick gloss over the top is selling you a year.
Satin on old woodwork, nine times out of ten — it hides small imperfections that gloss lights up. On good sound wood, gloss looks sharper.
No. The panelled doors in the older Tipton housing are the best thing in the room and filling the detail to save an hour is vandalism. We cut them in properly.
