Wood Painters in Bath

Interior woodwork covers skirting boards, architraves, door frames, window boards, and staircase components. These surfaces get knocked, scuffed, and marked over years of use.

We wash surfaces, sand back any loose or flaking paint, and apply undercoat before the finish coat. Edges and corners are cut in cleanly.

Edwardian semis on Englishcombe Lane in Bear Flat have bay window timber frames and skirting boards carrying accumulated paint layers from regular decoration cycles. Without proper preparation, each successive topcoat sits on a less stable base.

Exterior timber faces more stress than interior woodwork. Rain, UV, and temperature change all work on the surface, and the right paint system makes the difference between a finish that holds for five years and one that starts peeling in eighteen months.

We check all exterior timber for soft spots before priming. Drainage channels and joints are checked, and bare timber receives a specialist primer before undercoat and topcoat are applied.

Not all timber suits paint. Hardwood floors, oak beams, and exposed structural timber often look better with a stain or oil that lets the grain show.

We match the product to the species and the level of traffic or exposure the surface gets. Decking oils, floor oils, and exterior timber stains all require clean, dry timber before application.

For timber fences and gates, we cover these under our fence painting service. Staining or painting options are both available depending on what the timber needs.

Old woodwork in Bath properties often carries paint layers going back decades. At some point the system becomes too thick and brittle to hold together properly.

We assess how much preparation is needed before quoting. In some cases, washing and a light sand is enough. In others, more of the existing paint needs to come back before the surface is stable enough to repaint.

For work on masonry painting alongside timber, we can quote both surfaces together and sequence the work so neither is affected by the other.
