Professional paint stripping services

Bring old doors, furniture and metalwork back to life

We strip paint, varnish and failed coatings from a wide range of wood and metal items, helping customers restore original features instead of replacing them.

Our Hull workshop handles everything from standard internal doors and chairs to exterior doors, cupboards, architectural pieces, cast iron furniture, gates, railings and commercial paint stripping work.

We use the right process for the job, including tank stripping for suitable oil-based paints and alternative methods for water-based paints, delicate items and specialist coatings.

  • Interior and exterior doors
  • Tables, chairs, drawers and cupboards
  • Frames, architrave, skirting and handrails
  • Gates, railings and metal fencing
