HOW WE APPROACH THE WORK
Hard-working spaces, carefully finished
Communal stairwells are among the hardest-working spaces in a residential building. Every day they experience foot traffic, deliveries, furniture being moved and regular contact with handrails and doors. G Munn & Son offers painting and decorating for staircases, landings, corridors and shared entrances across the West Midlands.
Good results rely on sound preparation. Scuffs, local damage, failed paint and worn trim need reviewing before choosing finishes intended to be used and cleaned regularly. Walls, timber and metal handrails may each require different preparation and materials.
For occupied buildings, circulation and access are crucial considerations. We can discuss the staircase layout, how many levels are involved and which spaces must remain in use while decoration is arranged.
IN THE DETAIL
What's involved in communal stairwells
Walls and ceilings
Repair and preparation decisions should reflect previous coatings, marks, damage and the finish required.
Handrails and balustrades
Timber or metal components need suitable preparation and a coherent finish alongside painted walls.
Landings and corridor doors
Shared doors, frames and trim are high-contact elements where the final detail is visible every day.
Occupied building access
Stairs, entrances and shared walkways need to be considered early in scheduling and quotation discussions.
BEFORE WORK BEGINS
From first enquiry to a clear plan.
- Provide photographs and the number of floors, landings and entrances.
- Discuss surface damage, access and coating requirements.
- Agree what is included, and how the work can be coordinated with building users.
GOOD TO KNOW

Can you paint both walls and handrails?
Yes. Include handrail and balustrade work in your enquiry so suitable finishes can be considered.
Can residents continue to use the stairs?
