Staircase Painting in Greenwich: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Greenwich (SE10) are in georgian terracess 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.
Greenwich's UNESCO World Heritage status reflects the extraordinary architectural quality of its buildings. We work on the Georgian terraces around the park, the Victorian streets of East Greenwich, and the contemporary developments along the peninsula. Our experience in this area means we understand conservation requirements, period-appropriate colour palettes, and the particular needs of riverside properties.
