“We couldn’t be happier with the work carried out by Jamie. The project ended up being much bigger than we originally planned, with several additional tasks added along the way, and Jamie was more than accommodating throughout the entire process. Nothing was too much trouble, and the help and advice given were genuinely appreciated. The standard of workmanship was excellent, and this is easily one of the best painter decorators we’ve used in a very long time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jamie highly.”

Door stripping in South Kensington: Homeowners vs renters

If you own your property, you’re free to restore your doors as you wish. For listed or period homes, check whether planning restrictions apply before removing original finishes.
Renters:
Always speak to your landlord first. Any work on original doors (especially exterior ones) will need their approval. If paint is flaking or unsafe (like lead paint), the landlord is usually responsible for repairs.
