What do paint stripping services include?
Paint stripping is a vital part of any refurbishment project, whether you're redoing your bathroom, remodelling your kitchen, or renovating your entire property.
Depending on your preference, your home paint stripper can remove the old paint and finish from a particular surface using a variety of treatments such as solvents, gel-, or paste-based strippers. They can also utilise different techniques as they see fit like scraping, wire brushing, or door dripping.
Here are some common paint stripping services you can get and the inclusions of each:
Wood stripping
Wood stripping is done in three different ways: thermal blasting, chemical stripping, or sandblasting. Whatever your preference, your wood stripping expert always starts by disassembling the pieces to be stripped.Â
When scrapping your old paint, they work in sections and get deeper into the tiny groves to make sure that they don't miss any areas. They also apply a second coat in case there are any stubborn areas. Then, they complete your wood stripping service by wiping or brushing away the residue and finally sanding the wood.
It's essential to check your furniture and fixtures after the stripping process. If there are any dents, damages, or any inconsistencies, it's best to get someone to repair your wooden furnishings right away. The purpose is to steer away from any potential problems or early degradations after refurbishing them.
Door paint stripping
Are you thinking of updating your dull-looking door or restoring its original appearance? The ideal way to kick off your project is to strip off its old paint and finish. One of the easiest, most practical ways to do this is through door dipping.
After dismantling or removing the doors from its interior structure, your Tasker can bring it to the nearest door dipping workshop, where they are submerged into a chemical or caustic-based solution to remove the old paint. When the doors are returned to your place, a paint stripper then cleans and hand-strips stubborn stains, and also helps with sanding to achieve a smooth, visually appealing finish.
Fireplace stripping
While most fireplaces tend to develop heavy and unsightly rust spots over time, it doesn't necessarily mean that you should replace it entirely. If your fireplace is still fully functioning and structurally stable, then all it needs is a little stripping and recoating.Â
Your Tasker can use the safest paint stripper that won't cause any damage or crack on the frame material. For antiques and fragile fireplaces, they might go for solvent stripping since the process is more gentle than caustic and chemical stripping.
The former stripping process is preferable on durable fireplaces with thicker paints. For a cleaner appearance, your paint stripper can also remove the residue and sand the surface. You can even have it refinished or repainted for a total fireplace transformation!

Internal Brick Paint Removal & Restoration
£2,000
Festubert Place, Greater London
24th Aug 2026
I’m looking for someone experienced in removing white paint from original internal brickwork. The apartment is in Bow Quarter, E3. One large double-height brick wall has been completely painted white and I want to expose the original brick again, similar to the before and after vision in the photos. The actual painted brick area is around 10 to 14 square metres. The wall is approximately 5.5 metres wide and 4.5 metres high, with large factory windows taking up much of the area. The apartment will be empty before I move in, so access will be easier. I’m open to soda blasting, controlled sandblasting or another suitable method, provided the original brick is not badly damaged. Looking for an all-in price including protection, paint removal and clean-up. Please send photos of similar work if you have done this before.

Paint Stripping Job on Victorian Staircase
£1,500
Leyton, Greater London, E10
1st Jul 2026
I have a victorian staircase that I need a paint stripping job completed on. The job was begun and abandoned by a previous contractor unfortunately. I'm not needing a full restoration and finish, I'm ideally just hoping to just have as much paint removed as possible to return the staircase to a functional state. I'm unsure of a reasonable price so please give me a quote. Thank you.
Such a great team, it was a thankless task and they did a really fantastic job of it and were really lovely people to have around on top of that

Remove paint, sand, repair, refinish old staircase - 5 floors!
£1,000
Maze Hill, Greater London
27th Jan 2026
I need an old staircase, handrail and balustrade to be stripped of paint, taken back to original wood, sanded and refinished. If the original wood is in good shape, this will be finished and varnished. If not, it will be painted (colour to be supplied). There are FIVE floors of stairs, so not a quick job. See photos - the blue colour is what needs removing, taking back to original wood, sanded shaped and refinished. The blue risers also need stripping back and refinishing (likely white but paint will be supplied once an assessment of original wood can be completed). Chemical stripper only, no heat guns - this is likely to be lead paint and we are concerned about fire risk. Please only quote if you have experience doing this and carpentry skills to refinish wood, this is a listed building and requires era-appropriate solutions.

Paint removal/clean up on floorboards
£200
Temple Mills, Greater London
14th Sep 2025
We have had a bad experience with a painter who did not use dust sheets and has left a lot of paint on the floorboards. Most of the marks are gloss paint (ie would need white spirit) but there are some emulsion marks too. We need someone to come and clean the floorboards TONIGHT as new tenants are moving in tomorrow. Cleaning is in the hallway, kitchen floor, bedroom and living room floor but only in some areas. They will need to bring their own materials. Thanks!

Hello, I began the task of stripping the gloss paint from my stair banister, but unfortunately, my health is preventing me from finishing it.

The job involves: Completely stripping off the remaining gloss paint. Sanding the banister back to a smooth finish. Applying a non-peeling primer. Finishing with satin wood paint. If this is something you have experience with, I'd appreciate it if you could get in touch to discuss it further.
