The difference you'll notice once the trim is done properly
Preparation that shows in the finish
Trim throws light onto every flaw. We smooth, fill and prime where needed before the finishing coats begin.
Finishes that suit real life
Some rooms need a tougher sheen. Others look better with a softer painted finish that works with your walls and furniture.
Neat work in busy spaces
Doors, skirtings and sills are awkward places to paint cleanly. We keep lines sharp and disruption down while the job moves along.
Freshen up the details that take the knocks
Tired trim can make a whole room feel older than it is, even when your walls still look decent. We handle woodwork painting for doors, skirting boards and windowsills, and at Innocon Group Ltd we make sure those hard-working surfaces look sharp again from the start. Scuffs, chips and old discolouration tend to show up fast on trim because it sits at eye level and catches the light. That's why we spend time protecting floors and nearby walls, then cleaning, sanding and filling small defects before any finish goes on. If bare patches or stubborn old coatings need extra attention, we prime those areas properly to help the new paint sit evenly. The result is woodwork that looks cleaner, feels tougher, and fits the rest of your room refresh instead of fighting against it.
Choosing the right finish for everyday use
Gloss gives you the highest sheen and stands up well on busy doors and skirtings, while satin softens the look without losing that handy wipe-clean surface. Eggshell and matt-style finishes suit calmer interiors where you want a flatter look that sits neatly beside modern wall colours and softer décor. Because trim shows every ripple, brush line and drip, we take extra care with previously painted surfaces before we start any top coats at Innocon Group Ltd. Crisp edges against walls matter just as much as colour choice, especially in lived-in homes and active workspaces where disruption needs to stay low. From a one-room trim refresh to woodwork included in a full decorating job, we keep the process tidy and straightforward in Edinburgh.
Frequently asked questions
What finish is best for painted woodwork?
It depends on how the room is used and the look you want. Gloss is usually the toughest and easiest to wipe clean, satin gives a softer sheen with good durability, and eggshell suits spaces where you want a flatter finish.
Do you need to sand old paint before repainting skirting boards and doors?
In most cases, yes. We sand to create a key for the new coating, remove rough patches, and help stop defects from showing through on the finished woodwork.
Can woodwork painting be done as a small standalone job?
Yes, it can. We can refresh trim in one room, include it as part of single-room decorating, or complete it within a larger full-house or commercial painting project.
