Lower Earley 1980s to 1990s detached homes typically have softwood fascia boards and soffits that have lost their original gloss over Berkshire winters. Without sanding back the flaking gloss and applying a flexible exterior primer, new topcoats peel at the fascia-soffit junction within two seasons. Wood painting is part of the full exterior painting service across Wokingham and Berkshire.

Wood Painting Services
Interior Hardwood
Interior hardwood floors, trim, and joinery benefit from oil or varnish finishes that enhance the natural grain. Finishes suited to the wood species and room use are stripped back, sanded, and applied.
High-traffic areas need durable, hard-wearing finishes. Rarely used spaces allow softer options.
Exterior Timber Staining
Exterior timber on fences, decking, and outbuildings weathers rapidly. Your decorator assesses colour preferences and recommends stain systems suited to the exposure level.
Penetrating stains allow the timber to move naturally without trapping moisture. These are preferred over surface paints on exposed timber.
Stripping and Restoration
Original timber joinery that has been painted over many times can be stripped back to bare wood and restored. The timber condition is assessed and restoration options are discussed.
Careful stripping preserves fine detail and mouldings that would be lost under heavy paint build-up.
Interior Woodwork
Interior doors, architrave, skirting boards, and built-in woodwork are finished appropriately to each room. Your decorator covers gloss, satin, eggshell, and natural oil finishes.
Colour coordination with walls and ceilings is discussed at the site visit.
Bespoke Joinery
Custom timber pieces and bespoke joinery receive finishing appropriate to their design. Your decorator advises on finishes that protect and enhance the work.
Heritage paint systems and natural oil finishes suit period-influenced custom work.
Here’s How It Works
1. Wood condition assessment
Your decorator visits and assesses all timber surfaces, notes existing finish, wear patterns, and colour preferences.
2. Surface preparation
Timber is stripped or sanded depending on existing condition. Original finishes are tested for removal options.
3. Repair and stabilisation
Damage is assessed and repaired if appropriate. Grain-raising and stabilisation are addressed.
4. Priming and sealing
For painted finishes, primer is applied. For stain or oil finishes, a base coat seals the wood appropriately.
5. Finish application
Final finish coats (paint, stain, varnish, or oil) are applied with attention to grain direction and timber species characteristics.
Wood Painting Costs in Wokingham
Every project is different and is priced in the written quotation after a site visit. Call to arrange yours.
Cost Overview
Wood painting and finishing for a full exterior timber refresh is scoped by area, condition, and finish specification. Your decorator confirms the scope and price in a written quote after a site visit.
What Affects the Price
Three things drive the price:
Preparation and Access
- Total timber area. Large properties with significant timber exposure cost more than properties with limited exterior wood.
- Condition and repair. Timber in poor condition requires stripping and repair, which adds cost. Rot or damage adds additional repair cost.
- Finish specification. Standard exterior gloss is the baseline. Satin finishes cost slightly more. Heritage paint systems and premium stains cost more per litre.
Written Quotations
Every scope is different and is priced in the written quotation after a site visit.
