Door Painting Services

Door material, construction, existing coating, damage and the faces requested are checked before preparation is proposed.

Interior Panelled Doors

Panelled doors are checked for coating build-up, damaged edges, moulding detail and hardware. Preparation, application method and sheen are selected for the door and compatible product instructions.

Flush Doors

Flush doors are identified by material and construction, then checked for coating condition, edge damage and hardware before a finish is proposed.

Door Frames and Architraves

Door frames and architraves are included only where recorded in the written quote. Preparation around hinges, locks and mitres depends on their condition and the agreed finish. See our wood painting page for broader interior woodwork guidance.

3. Scheduled Work
