Staircase Painting in Putney: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Putney (SW15) are in edwardian 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.
Putney's position between the river and the heath gives it a distinctly green, village-like character. We work on the substantial Edwardian houses near Putney Heath, the Victorian terraces around the High Street, and the riverside apartments along the Embankment. Each property type calls for a slightly different approach, and our experience here ensures we get it right.
