These spaces require careful access management, appropriate high-durability finishes to handle frequent scuffs, and a neat finish around all the complex angles, cornices and banisters typical of staircase areas.

Common questions about hallway & staircase decorating
What type of paint is best for a hallway?
Hallways benefit from a durable, washable finish — a good quality eggshell or tough emulsion with a slight sheen is ideal. It handles scuffs and handprints better than a flat matt and can be wiped down without marking. We'll advise on the best option for your hallway.
How do you access the high ceiling areas on a staircase?
We use specialist staircase ladders and platforms designed for exactly this purpose. They allow safe access to high staircase walls and ceilings without causing damage to walls or banisters.
Can you paint or varnish bare wood banisters and spindles?
Yes — we can paint banisters in any colour or apply a clear varnish or stain to enhance natural wood. Preparation is key: we sand the wood back properly before applying the finish to ensure good adhesion and a smooth result.
