Staircase Painting in Hampstead: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Hampstead (NW3) are in georgian 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.
Hampstead's narrow lanes around Flask Walk, Church Row and Well Walk are lined with listed Georgian houses that demand careful, period-appropriate decoration. We're experienced with conservation-area consents, original sash windows and the long-lasting finishes Hampstead's exposed hilltop properties require.

What Hampstead clients say
"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."
"We had a tight pre-sale deadline and they delivered on time without cutting any corners. Estate agent commented on the finish at the first viewing."
