With over 15 years of experience, we understand how to protect and beautify wooden features in Lancashire's challenging weather.
Our team specialises in all the wooden elements you'll find in Preston homes – from Victorian skirting boards and Edwardian joinery to exposed beams in converted mill properties.

Wooden Features Painting Process
Our step-by-step approach to painting wooden features gives great results while protecting your Preston home throughout the job.
We know that having decorators in your home needs trust, so our process focuses on quality work and keeping your home completely protected from start to finish.
Here's how we make your wooden features look amazing:
How We Protect Your Home and Furniture
Before we start any painting, our team puts comprehensive protection in place:
- Heavy-duty plastic sheeting throughout work areas
- All furniture gets dust sheets or careful relocation
- Special masking films on glass and sealed work areas
- Professional dust extraction systems during sanding
This careful approach means Preston homeowners can keep living normally while we work.
Checking and Preparing Surfaces
We start by thoroughly checking all wooden surfaces to spot areas that need repair, filling, or special treatment. Our team uses professional moisture meters to make sure conditions are right for painting before we begin.
Interior Wood Features We Paint:
- Skirting boards and door frames in period properties
- Stair handrails and spindles in Victorian terraces
- Built-in wardrobes and kitchen cabinet makeovers
- Window sills and interior window frames
Exterior Wood Features We Paint:
- Window frames and sills exposed to Lancashire weather
- Garden fences and gates around Preston properties
- Front and back doors for enhanced kerb appeal
- Decking and pergolas in areas like Fulwood
Sanding and Surface Prep
All wooden surfaces get proper sanding using different grades from coarse to fine to make sure surfaces are smooth and ready for primer. Detailed mouldings and fancy areas get careful hand sanding.
Applying Primer and Paint
We choose primers that match each type of wood and existing surface. Oil-based primers for hardwoods, special primers for surfaces that have been painted before, and moisture-resistant primers for areas exposed to Lancashire's damp conditions.
Our Paint Application:
- Brushes for detailed areas like mouldings
- Rollers for larger flat surfaces
- At least two finish coats for the best coverage
- Quality checks under different lights
Final Protection and Cleanup
Once painting is finished, we give all newly painted surfaces temporary protection during final cleanup. We remove all protective materials, put furniture back where it belongs, and thoroughly clean all work areas.
Your Preston home is left spotless with beautifully transformed wooden features. Our process usually takes 3-7 days depending on how big the job is, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
