Paint stripping in York.
The local stock
York is a city of layers, and the housing runs the full range — medieval timber framing in the centre, Georgian townhouses around Bootham and Bishophill, and street after street of Victorian terraces in The Groves, Holgate and South Bank. Those terraces are full of original joinery: four-panel doors, pitch-pine staircases, tiled hallways and cast-iron fireplaces, most of it painted over at some point in the last century.
How we serve York
York is about an hour from the workshop, so we work it by arrangement. Most York customers send smaller pieces by overnight courier; larger restoration jobs are collected by van on a planned run across to North Yorkshire.
Common questions
About paint stripping in York.
Can I send a door from York to be stripped?
Yes — overnight courier is the simplest option for York customers. Pack the door well and photograph it before it leaves; we photograph it on arrival and when it's finished. Most doors are stripped and back within 7–10 working days plus transit.
Do you strip pitch-pine staircases from York terraces?
Yes — the Victorian terraces around The Groves and Holgate are full of pitch pine, which takes paint badly and looks superb stripped back. Staircases are quoted per job; we can work in the workshop or come to site for the larger fixed jobs.
Do you work with York landlords and developers?
We do — we work on a trade basis with developers, landlords and joiners restoring period properties. Phone Daniel on 01484 666 333 to set up an account and arrange collection for larger York jobs.

Wetherby
Wetherby is a Georgian market town on the River Wharfe, and its centre is mellow sandstone — Georgian townhouses around the market place and the Shambles, with six-panel doors, fanlights and sash windows. Out toward the racecourse and the newer edges the housing is mixed, but the period stock in the town has the kind of original joinery — panelled doors, staircases, shutters — that rewards stripping back rather than replacing.
Harrogate
Harrogate is a spa town built for show, and the housing reflects it — grand Victorian and Edwardian villas around the Stray, Montpellier and Duchy, with bay windows, deep cornices, panelled hallways and pitch-pine staircases. The townhouses off Cold Bath Road and Kings Road have some of the finest original joinery in North Yorkshire: heavy four-panel doors, dado rails, and shutters, much of it grained or painted over the original timber.
Leeds
Leeds is a city of contrasts. Headingley and Hyde Park are full of late-Victorian and Edwardian semis with original stained glass, tiled hallways and pitch-pine stairs. Round the city centre the Georgian and early-Victorian townhouses have survived in pockets — Leylands, Sheepscar, parts of Holbeck. Out toward Roundhay and Moortown the houses are bigger and the woodwork is more often oak or walnut, sometimes veneered.
