Victorian and Edwardian terraces in East Molesey, particularly along Hampton Court Road and Creek Road, have traditional panelled front doors. Peeling or patchy paint stands out visibly in these tightly-spaced terraces.
Front doors along Bridge Road in East Molesey and Hampton Court Road face street exposure. We seal all edges, top, bottom, and hinge-side, before the finish coat goes on.

Front Door Painting Services
Timber Front Doors
Timber front doors are stripped back to sound wood, primed with appropriate exterior timber primer, and finished with durable exterior gloss or satin. Colour selection is discussed during the quotation.
Period panelled doors are hand-finished carefully to maintain panel detail. See our exterior painting page for broader exterior finishing guidance.
uPVC and Composite Doors
uPVC and composite doors can be repainted with specialist adhesion primers and compatible finish coats. We assess door condition and advise on expected lifespan before starting.
Colour options on uPVC doors are more limited than timber, but coordinated finishes are available.
Preparation and Priming
Thorough preparation is essential for a front door finish that lasts. Existing paint is sanded back, wood is stripped if needed, and appropriate primers are selected.
The preparation stage determines how long the new finish will last.
Hardware, Knockers, and Door Furniture
Original or period hardware is carefully protected during painting. We mask around door handles, knockers, and letterboxes to preserve them.
Hardware can be removed and finished separately if preferred.
Pre-Sale Front Door Refresh
A freshly painted front door in a neutral colour significantly improves a property’s market appeal. Pre-sale front door finishing is often the highest-impact improvement on the facade.
Quick turnaround is available for pre-sale projects.

Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment and Colour Consultation
We visit, assess the door’s condition, discuss colour options, and advise on material. We note any hardware that needs protecting.
2. Surface Preparation
Existing paint is sanded back. Timber is stripped to bare wood if needed and smoothed. Cracks and gaps are filled.
3. Priming
Exterior timber primer is applied to bare wood, providing a sound base for the topcoat and ensuring durable adhesion.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats of exterior gloss or satin are applied. The topcoat is fully cured before the door is returned to use.
5. Final Inspection
The finished door is inspected for consistency and appearance. Hardware is carefully reinstalled.
Front Door Painting Costs in Surrey
Prices below are estimates only. Every door is different. Call 01483 930151 for a precise quote.

Timber doors cost more than composite. Large double doors cost more than single doors.
Front door painting typically costs between £200 and £420, including preparation, priming, and two finish coats.

Doors with significant paint layers or weather damage require more preparation time. Well-maintained doors are faster to repaint.
