Staircase Painting in Crystal Palace: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Crystal Palace (SE19) are in large victorian housess where the spindles, strings and handrails have collected 30+ years of paint and the treads are scuffed from daily use. We hand-strip and sand back to a sound key, fill the joints, prime and finish in a hard-wearing eggshell system. Half-stair scheduling keeps the staircase usable through the work.
Crystal Palace's elevated position and distinctive Victorian architecture give the area a character all its own. The large, often quirky period properties around the park and Triangle area benefit from decoration that embraces their individuality. We enjoy working in Crystal Palace — the homes are interesting, the clients are engaged, and the results are always rewarding.
