Canterbury’s Door Painting Specialists
Internal Door Painting
Internal doors in Canterbury period properties are typically four-panel Victorian or two-over-two Georgian designs. We paint in satin or eggshell, depending on preference. We also offer dedicated garage door painting services.
External Door Painting
External doors need exterior-grade primers and topcoats. For front doors, see our dedicated front door painting page.
Paint Build-Up Removal
We work into recessed areas with hand tools and chemical strippers. Once the profile is clean, we prime to bare timber before finishing.
Door Colour and Finish
We advise on colour choices for period properties. Our hallway painting service covers the full hallway repaint including doors.
Our Door Painting Process
1. Door Assessment
We inspect each door for paint build-up and surface condition.
2. Ironmongery
Handles, hinges, and letterboxes removed or masked.
3. Preparation
Doors sanded or stripped. Bare timber receives a primer coat.
4. Primer and Undercoat
Applied in sequence with adequate drying time.
5. Topcoat
Final coat in the chosen finish. Panel edges checked for clean lines.
6. Final Inspection
We inspect the finished door with you before ironmongery goes back on.
