Canterbury’s Front Door Painting Specialists
Georgian Front Doors
Six-panel doors on St Dunstans Street and Palace Street need careful preparation at the recessed areas. We work into the profile with hand tools. We also offer dedicated garage door painting services.
See exterior painting for rendered or stone facade details.
Victorian Front Doors
Victorian properties in Wincheap and Northgate have four-panel front doors. The preparation approach is the same: assess profile condition, work into recessed areas.
Coastal Front Doors
Front doors in Whitstable and Herne Bay need marine-grade primer. With the correct specification, six to nine years is achievable.
Colour Selection
Traditional choices include deep greens, navy blues, and black. For internal door painting, we include both in a single project quote.
Porch and Frame
We include columns, pilasters, porch ceilings, and frames. Where masonry is involved, we coordinate with masonry painting.
Our Front Door Painting Process
1. Assessment
We inspect the door, check paint layers, and assess the frame and porch area.
2. Masking
Ironmongery, fanlight glass, and frame edges masked thoroughly.
3. Preparation
Abrading and stripping at panel mould areas. Filling surface defects.
4. Primer and Undercoat
Applied in sequence. Marine-grade primer used on coastal properties.
5. Topcoat and Inspection
