Old runs, dents and brush marks must be sanded out and filled, and glossy surfaces keyed so the new paint grips instead of peeling. The cost of waiting ## What Happens If You Leave It Woodwork takes more knocks than any other surface in a home, and neglected exterior timber can start to rot. - ### Yellowing gloss Older oil-based paints turn yellow over time, especially away from daylight. - ### Chips and dents Hoovers, feet, pets and doors all take their toll on skirting and frames. - ### Peeling window paint Once paint fails on exterior frames and sills, water gets into the timber. - ### Poor past work Drips, runs and thick layers of paint hide detail and look untidy close up. ### Common mistakes we see - Painting straight over glossy woodwork without sanding, so the new coat peels. - Mixing water-based and oil-based products without the right primer. - Leaving old drips and runs in place and painting over them. - Rushing drying times between coats on doors that are needed that day. Our process ## Five Steps From Quote to Finished Job - 01 ### Free visit and quote Paul looks at the job, talks it through with you and gives a clear, no-obligation price. - 02 ### Protection Floors, furniture, fixtures and surrounding surfaces are covered and masked before anything else happens. - 03 ### Preparation Old runs sanded out, dents and cracks filled, gaps caulked, surfaces keyed and knots or bare timber primed. - 04 ### The work Undercoat and finish coats applied by brush for a smooth, even surface with crisp lines against the walls. - 05 ### Inspection and tidy-up Everything checked in good light, touched up where needed and left clean, backed by our 1-year guarantee.

Gallery ## Woodwork Painting: Our Work In detail ## Woodwork Painting: Materials, Methods & Situations Good woodwork is what separates a professional finish from an average one. ### Doors and frames Panelled doors are painted in the right order, panels first, then rails and stiles, so there are no overlap marks. Edges and frames are finished to match. ### Skirting and architrave Skirting is cleaned, sanded and caulked where it meets the wall, so the finished line is sharp and gap-free. ### Staircases and spindles Spindles and handrails take time and patience; each is sanded and coated carefully so the result is even all the way up. ### Windows and sills Exterior frames and sills are scraped back where paint has failed, bare timber primed and the frames painted to shed water. ### Related services - Interior Painting & Decorating → - Kitchen Cabinet Painting → - Exterior Painting & Decorating → ### Areas we cover - Basingstoke - Hampshire - Surrey - Berkshire - Wiltshire - Andover - Winchester - Farnborough - Fleet - Reading - Newbury - Camberley Local to you ## Woodwork Painting Across Basingstoke & Beyond We are based in Basingstoke and carry out woodwork painting for homes and businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Wiltshire.
