Staircase Painting
Transform your staircase with expert painting and specialist access equipment
About This Service
Staircases are one of the most visually prominent and technically challenging areas of the home to decorate. Working safely at height in a confined stairwell requires specialist equipment and experience. Our team has the right tools and expertise to decorate every type of staircase beautifully and safely.
What Staircase Painting Involves
- Painting of stairwell walls from ground floor to top landing
- Painting of staircase ceiling at full height
- Painting of banister, newel posts and handrails
- Painting of individual stair spindles
- Painting of stair risers and treads
- Touch-up of surrounding doors, skirtings and architraves
Why Use a Professional?
Staircase decoration demands proper access equipment — makeshift arrangements with ladders and boards are dangerous and produce poor results. We invest in the correct specialist equipment for stairwells that allows us to work safely and produce a superior finish.
Our Process
Survey
We survey the staircase and stairwell to plan the safest access method and identify any preparation needed.
Access Setup
We set up specialist stairwell access equipment to allow safe working at all heights.
Preparation
We sand and prepare all surfaces — particularly important for banister and spindles which receive heavy use.
Painting
We paint from ceiling down — stairwell ceiling, walls, landing, then banister, spindles and finally stair treads.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you paint high stairwells safely?
We use specialist stairwell systems — platform ladders and stairwell pods — specifically designed for this type of work.
Can you paint wooden stair treads?
Yes — we can paint or varnish wooden stair treads. We use hardwearing floor paint or varnish designed to withstand foot traffic.
How do I paint spindles efficiently?
The secret is good preparation — filling any gaps, sanding lightly and applying a fine-brush undercoat before the gloss finish coat.
Can you create a feature on the staircase?
Yes — popular features include painting the lower half of the stairwell wall a contrasting colour or using wallpaper on the stairwell wall.
