Staircase Painting in Sydenham: What to expect
Most staircase jobs in Sydenham (SE26) are in victorian 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.
Sydenham's residential streets offer a mix of Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses that reward quality decoration. The area's proximity to Crystal Palace Park and its own established high street give it a settled, community feel. We bring the same standards of preparation and finish to our Sydenham projects as we do to any London neighbourhood.
