Wood Painting Services
Interior Hardwood Finishing
Interior hardwood, including skirting boards, architraves, window boards, and bespoke joinery, is finished to suit the wood type. We advise on stains, oils, and paints suited to the timber.
Consistent sheen across all woodwork needs careful product selection and application. See our interior painting page for whole-room finishing guidance including woodwork.
Exterior Timber and Staining Options
Exterior timber, including fascias, soffits, gates, and outbuildings, receives weather-resistant finishes. We choose stains, oils, or paints suited to exposure and timber type.
Timber in exposed locations needs specialist protection.
Stripping and Restoration Services
Historic timber with multiple paint layers can be stripped to reveal the original wood. Stripping requires care to avoid damaging original material.
Stripped timber is then finished with oils, stains, or paint.

Specialist Joinery and Finish Systems

Bespoke Joinery Finishing
Custom joinery such as fitted wardrobes, bookcases, and architectural elements receives specialist finishing. We match finishes to the property’s overall design.
Attention to detail on bespoke pieces is essential.
Oils, Stains, and Paint Systems
Different timber types and exposures need different finish systems. We advise on the right option for each area.
- Oils — enhance wood grain and penetrate the surface
- Stains — provide colour and protection while showing grain
- Paints — deliver uniform colour and durability on exposed surfaces
Finish System Selection
Proper system selection ensures lasting results on all timber surfaces. We assess timber type, condition, and exposure before recommending a finish.
How Our Wood Painting Works
1. Wood Assessment
We visit and assess timber type, condition, and existing finishes. We discuss colour and protection options for each element.
2. Surface Preparation
Timber is cleaned and sanded. Old paint is stripped where needed to create a smooth, sound surface.
3. Priming and Undercoating
Primer or undercoat is applied where needed to provide a sound base and ensure the topcoat performs correctly.
4. Finish Application
Oil, stain, or paint is applied to the agreed system. Multiple coats are applied and fully cured between applications.
5. Final Inspection
Timber is inspected for consistency of colour and sheen. Touch-ups are completed before the project is handed over.

Wood Painting Costs in Surrey
Prices below are estimates only. Every project is different. Call 01483 930151 for a precise quote.
Timber Quantity and Type
Skirting boards, architraves, and fascias are priced per linear metre. Bespoke joinery is quoted on complexity and surface area.
Wood finishing typically costs between £50 and £200 per linear metre depending on wood type, condition, and finish system.
Existing Condition
Timber in poor condition or with heavy paint layers needs more preparation. Clean, well-maintained timber is faster to finish.
Large Oxshott detacheds have substantial interior woodwork — consistent sheen requires the same product batch and wet film thickness throughout.
Finish Choice
Oils and stains are the most economical. Paints cost more but provide uniform colour and durability on exposed surfaces.
Interior skirting and architraves (100+ linear metres): £800 to £1,400. Full interior woodwork (large detached, 200+ linear metres): £2,000 to £3,500.
