Wood Painters in Newcastle
Tulip Decor are wood painters in Newcastle, restoring interior woodwork and exterior timber across period and modern properties. We also cover door painting, staircase painting, and window frame painting for full timber restoration across the home.
- Interior hardwood: skirting boards, architraves, picture rails
- Exterior timber: windows, fascias, garden structures
- Stripping and restoration to bare timber
- Staining and varnishing alongside paint
In Jesmond and Gosforth period homes, original pine skirtings and architraves have been painted five to eight times. Paint is thick enough to obscure moulding profile and lifts at edges. Proper restoration means stripping back to bare timber, filling the grain, priming, and finishing in oil-based eggshell.

Wood Painting Services in Newcastle
Interior Hardwood Restoration
Period properties throughout Jesmond contain original pine or hardwood skirting boards, architraves, and decorative rails. These have accumulated paint over a century, obscuring the original moulding detail.
Chemical stripping removes this accumulation and reveals the grain. We sand smooth, grain-fill, and prime. The result restores the original moulding profile in a way a simple topcoat never achieves.
Picture Rails and Cornicing
Picture rails and cornice mouldings benefit from the same restoration approach. Original detail emerges when thick paint is carefully stripped back.
For comprehensive ceiling and cornicing work, see our ceiling painting service.
Exterior Timber
Fascia boards, window frames, garden gates, and fence posts need robust exterior timber finishes. We specify oil-based gloss for traditional appearance or micro-porous finish for breathability on period timber.
For specific exterior services, see the dedicated pages. This page covers hardwood and timber restoration across interior and exterior.
Staining and Varnishing
Where stripping reveals beautiful grain, staining or varnishing may be preferable to paint. We apply durable stains and varnishes suitable for interior hardwood.
Clear varnish on pine shows the wood character. Tinted stains offer colour options whilst maintaining wood visibility. We advise on durability and maintenance at the site visit.
Here’s How It Works
1. Strip Assessment
We evaluate paint build-up and determine the best stripping method — chemical, sanding, or a combination.
2. Chemical Strip
Stripper applied, left to work, then scraped back to bare wood. Used where paint build-up is too thick for sanding alone.
3. Sanding
All surfaces sanded smooth. Grain-filled where bare timber is exposed after stripping.
4. Priming
Oil-based primer applied to bare wood. Tannin blocks applied to knots to prevent bleed-through.
5. Finish Coats
Two topcoats of oil-based eggshell, stain, or varnish depending on your choice and the timber type.

Wood Painting Costs in Newcastle
Prices below are estimates only. Every timber is different. Call 0191 743 3614 for a precise quote.
Linear Metres of Woodwork
A single room’s skirting, architraves, and features costs less than multiple rooms throughout a house. Interior woodwork restoration typically costs between £480 and £900, depending on linear metres and paint build-up.
Reception room woodwork in a Jesmond Victorian terrace — skirting, two sets of architraves, picture rail, strip and paint — costs £480 to £720.
Paint Layers and Stripping Method
Thick paint build-up requires more labour and chemical to strip. Recent paint is faster to remove.
Hallway, stairs, and landing woodwork with multiple mouldings and a full strip and finish costs £680 to £1,050. Full house interior woodwork in Gosforth or Ponteland is priced on a comprehensive site assessment.
Finish Choice
Oil-based eggshell is standard. Stains and varnishes cost similarly. Specialist heritage finishes cost more.
We advise on finish options at the site visit and include all materials in the quote.
