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.
