Staircase Painting in Isle of Dogs: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Isle of Dogs (E14) are in dockside 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.
The Isle of Dogs mixes dockside apartment blocks around Millwall Outer Dock with Victorian and post-war houses in Cubitt Town and riverside new-builds along Westferry Road. Apartment work here usually means managed-building access and protection of shared corridors and lifts; house work is more traditional — full interiors, hallways and stairwells, and exterior woodwork that takes a battering from river weather. We use hard-wearing water-based systems throughout so finishes hold up to strong light and salt-laden wind off the Thames.
