Restoring Elegance in Oakdale: A Total Hall, Stairs & Landing Overhaul


The Challenge: The staircase and woodwork in this Poole home had become "tired" and significantly yellowed—a common issue caused by old-fashioned oil-based coatings. The goal was to eliminate the dated amber tones and provide a durable, modern, and bright finish that would stay white for years to come.

The Specialist Process: To achieve a "flawless" high-end look, we moved away from traditional brushes and rollers and utilized a 100% water-based, spray-applied system:

  • Total Dustless Sanding: We sanded every inch of the woodwork, walls, and ceilings using our dustless extraction system, ensuring a clean home and a mirror-smooth surface.

  • Specialist Adhesion: We applied Caparol Haftprimer - an industry-leading primer—to ensure the new coating bonded perfectly to the old wood.

  • Precision Airless Spraying: Every surface was finished using an Airless Sprayer. This allows for an unbroken, factory-smooth application on the intricate spindles and high ceilings.

  • Premium Top Coat: We used Tikkurila Helmi 30, a high-performance satin finish known for its non-yellowing properties and immense durability.

The Outcome: The result speaks for itself: a total transformation from a dated, yellowed hallway to a crisp, high-end interior. The ceilings, woodwork, and walls are flawless, providing a bright and sophisticated welcome to the home.
