Staircase Painting in Fitzrovia: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Fitzrovia (W1T) are in georgian apartmentss 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.
Fitzrovia bridges the worlds of Bloomsbury academia and West End commerce, creating a neighbourhood with distinctive character. We work in period apartments, converted commercial spaces, and the Georgian terraces around Fitzroy Square. The area's creative heritage means our clients often favour bolder colour choices — something we're always happy to support with informed advice.

What Fitzrovia clients say
"Quote arrived within the hour and was the most detailed of three we received. The team was on time every day, kept the house immaculate, and the finish on our cornicing is genuinely flawless."
"Used The Painters London for our full downstairs repaint in Farrow & Ball. Same crew throughout — no subcontractors, no surprises. Will be using them again upstairs next year."
"Genuinely premium service. They prepped the walls properly — three days of filling and sanding before a brush came out — and it shows. Worth every penny."
