Interior Woodwork Stripping
Doors, skirting boards and window frames with years of built-up gloss paint often need chemical stripping or careful heat-gun work to reveal sound timber underneath, especially where older coatings may contain lead. We follow safe working practices throughout, particularly in pre-1960s Colchester properties.
Exterior Surfaces Need Extra Care
Exterior stripping - render, masonry and timber cladding - has to account for weather exposure and often reveals underlying repairs needed before repainting, which we cover in our external painting and decorating service. Combined jobs often also need paint and wallpaper stripping indoors at the same time.

Is old paint on woodwork likely to contain lead?
Paint applied before 1992 in the UK may contain lead, particularly on older properties - we take appropriate precautions when stripping suspect coatings.
Can stripped woodwork be repainted the same colour?
Yes, stripping simply removes old, damaged layers - you can repaint in the same or a different colour once the surface is prepared.
Do you strip exterior render as well as woodwork?
Yes, we assess exterior surfaces individually and choose the safest, most effective stripping method for render, masonry or timber.
