Careful preparation and refinishing of wood and metal surfaces

At a glance

How is painting wood and metal different from painting a wall?

The preparation and the products are different. Wood and metal move, flex and corrode, so the existing finish usually has to be stripped or sanded back rather than painted over, rust has to be dealt with at the source, and the primer is chosen for the material. The application has to be a lot more careful too, to avoid brush marks and runs.

What are you trying to solve?

The material, the finish already on it and the exposure decide the system, more than the look you are after.

  • The gate or grill is rusting

    Rust spreads under a new coat if you just paint over it. It has to be taken back to sound metal and treated first.

  • Doors are sticky, chipped or yellowed

    Old enamel yellows and chips at the edges. Doors also need enough drying time that they do not stick when you close them.

  • I want to keep the wood grain visible

    That means a polish or stain rather than an opaque paint, and the existing finish usually has to come off completely.

  • The furniture is solid but dated

    A sound piece is often worth refinishing rather than replacing. Whether that is polish or paint depends on the wood and its condition.

  • Metal windows or shutters are pitted

    Corrosion that has eaten into the surface changes what is achievable. We will tell you honestly where the limit is.

  • The wood is soft or crumbling in places

    Rot and insect damage are not a finishing problem. No coating fixes timber that is structurally gone, and we will say so.

Wood and Metal Painting services.

Doors, windows, furniture, gates and grills, sanded back, primed properly and finished so they still look right after a monsoon.

We carry out all of the above. Detailed pages for each are being added — in the meantime, tell us which one you need on the inspection CTA and we will bring the right person.

How we work

Getting the surface right

  1. The existing finish decides the approach

    We check what is already on the surface, because a coating underneath that the new one will not bond to lifts whatever we put over it.

  2. Stripping and sanding back

    Old coatings taken off to a sound, keyed surface. On wood, this is what decides whether the grain reads cleanly at the end.

  3. Rust removed, not covered

    Corrosion is taken back to sound metal and treated before priming. Painting over rust just hides it for a season.

  4. Repairs before finishing

    Filling, edge repair and re-fixing loose joinery all happen before any coating, not after.

  5. Primer chosen for the material

    Wood, ferrous metal and aluminium each need a different primer. A mismatch here is where most of these jobs fail.

  6. Careful application

    Movable items can be finished off site where dust control matters. Fixed items are masked and worked in conditions that let the finish flow out properly.

Wood and Metal Painting — your questions.

Can you paint over rust?

You can, and it will fail. Rust keeps spreading under a coating and lifts it off. Corrosion has to be taken back to sound metal and treated before priming. Where it has pitted the metal deeply, we will tell you what is realistically achievable rather than paper over it.

Should I paint or polish my wooden furniture?

Polish keeps the grain visible and suits good timber in sound condition. Paint gives an opaque, even finish and is the better call where the wood is patched, mismatched or already painted. We look at the piece and tell you which will actually look better.

Can furniture be finished away from my house?

Movable items often should be. Doing it off site gives much better dust control and ventilation, which matters for a smooth result, and it keeps the smell out of your home. Fixed joinery, like doors, windows and frames, has to be done in place.

How long before doors can be closed again?

Longer than the surface takes to feel dry. Enamels and polishes keep hardening after they stop being tacky, and closing a door too early is the usual reason a fresh finish sticks and tears. We tell you the wait for the exact product we have used.

The wood is rotten in places. Can it be saved?

Damage in one spot can often be cut out and repaired. Timber that is soft all the way through, or has active insect damage, is a replacement job rather than a finishing one, and we will tell you that rather than coat over it.
