Paint Removal

Paint Removal & Stripping Services

We offer professional paint stripping for both wood and metal items, including pine, elm, and other softwoods. Whether you're restoring a single piece or working on a larger project, we’re here to help.

We regularly strip:

• Wooden doors – framed plank, ledge & brace, ledge-only, kitchen, bathroom, living room, front doors, and doors with glass panels.
• Pine furniture – chairs, tables, cupboards, chests of drawers, wardrobes, etc.
• Metal items – cast iron fireplaces, guttering, driveway gates, wrought-iron garden furniture, and more.

Important Information:

• Fixed pricing is available for standard stripping work.
• We do not strip:
  • Powder-coated metal
  • Water-based paints
  • Certain lacquered wood finishes
• For oak, we don’t recommend caustic dipping, as it opens the grain. Manual stripping is advised unless you prefer a rougher finish.

A note about glass:

If your item includes glass panels (e.g. glazed doors), please be aware:

• When dipped, the wood absorbs water and can swell slightly.
• If the glass is tightly fitted in its frame, this swelling can apply pressure and cause the glass to crack or break.
• While we take every care, we cannot cover the cost of any breakage that may occur due to this natural effect during the stripping process.

Refinishing Services

We also offer the following finishing options:

• Spray painting – ideal for metal gates and garden furniture
• Black polishing – for cast iron fireplaces
• Distressing – for a weathered, characterful finish
• Repainting or waxing – to refresh and protect wood

Let us help breathe new life into your old doors, furniture, and fittings.

We can arrange collection and delivery service, we don’t currently offer the removal off the hinges.
