Canterbury’s Staircase Painting Specialists

Balustrade and Spindles

Canterbury Decorators sand all balustrade elements to a smooth base. We work into turned and moulded profiles.

Staircase Walls

Staircase walls in period properties are frequently lime plaster. Our hallway painting service covers the ground-floor hallway.

Skirting Boards and String

The staircase string and skirting boards are in contact with the floor and subject to heavy wear.

Treads and Risers

Where treads and risers are being painted, we use a hard-wearing floor paint or specialist stair paint.

Part of a Wider Project

Staircase painting is most efficient as part of a full interior painting project.
