Wood Painting Services
Your decorator paints and finishes all types of timber joinery across Coventry and the surrounding area.
Interior Hardwood
Hardwood interior joinery in Kenilworth and Styvechale period properties includes solid oak skirtings, hardwood door linings, and original window boards. These surfaces are best treated with a hardwood primer and alkyd-based topcoat.
Hard-wearing topcoats on daily-contact surfaces like skirting boards and door frames last longer than standard satin.
Exterior Timber
Exterior timber joinery includes fascias, soffits, window frames, barge boards, and cladding. These surfaces need coatings that handle repeated wetting and drying through West Midlands winters.
See our exterior painting page for the complete exterior scope.
Staining and Varnishing
Some timber surfaces are better stained or varnished than painted. Hardwood floors, stripped pine, and hardwood window boards can be finished with oil, wax, or polyurethane varnish.
Your decorator advises on the appropriate finish for each timber type. The grain character and intended use both factor into the choice.
Stripping and Restoration
Original timber joinery in period Coventry properties has often had many incompatible products applied over decades. Old coats create a build-up that loses adhesion.
Stripping back to bare timber and starting fresh is sometimes the only way to produce a durable result.
Bespoke Joinery
New fitted joinery, bespoke shelving, and custom woodwork finishes require the same care as original period joinery. New timber must be primed before any topcoat.
Knotty softwood needs a knotting solution before primer to prevent resin bleed through the finish coat.

Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit and Assessment
Your decorator visits and checks all timber surfaces. Existing paint condition, species, exposure level, and any rot are noted.
2. Preparation
Surfaces are sanded to a sound key. Existing failing coatings are stripped where needed. Knots in softwood get knotting solution.
3. Priming
Bare timber gets the correct primer for the species and exposure. Exterior timber gets exterior wood primer. Interior hardwood gets hardwood primer.
4. Topcoat Application
Two coats of the specified finish are applied. Exterior gloss or satin on exposed timber. Interior satin or eggshell on internal joinery.
5. Final Inspection
All timber surfaces before leaving are inspected. Runs, thin coverage, and missed areas are corrected.

Wood Painting Costs in Coventry
Prices below are estimates only. Every timber job is different.
What Drives the Price
Timber species and profile complexity, condition and preparation required, and scope all affect the cost. Plain softwood skirtings cost less than hardwood architraves with multiple moulded profiles.
Timber with heavy build-up or failing coatings needs stripping. Exterior timber with rot needs treatment before priming.
Typical Ranges
Full interior timber joinery repaint across a whole house in a Kenilworth Victorian detached: £2,600 to £4,200. Single room timber joinery in a Finham semi: £250 to £420.
Full exterior timber package with fascias, soffits, window frames, and door in an Earlsdon terrace: £1,200 to £2,200.
