Staircase Painting in St John's Wood: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in St John's Wood (NW8) are in stucco villass 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.
St John's Wood's wide tree-lined avenues are home to substantial stucco-fronted villas, ambassadorial residences and the mansion blocks behind Lord's. Our team is experienced with the Eyre Estate's exterior colour guidance, the discretion expected on roads like Avenue Road and Hamilton Terrace, and the high-specification interior work that NW8 homeowners take for granted.
