How pricing works in Canonbury.
Every job is different, so we price your Canonbury project individually and give you a clear written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras. Here's what shapes your price:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Prep is our obsession.

What decorating really costs in Canonbury — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideStaircase Painting in Canonbury — FAQs.
How much does staircase painting cost?
It depends on the number of spindles, whether hall and landing are included, and the current condition of the woodwork. Snap the staircase from the hallway, send it over on WhatsApp, and a free fixed written quote comes back to you.
Can you paint just the spindles and handrail?
Yes, though most customers find it makes sense to do the hall, stairs and landing together while access equipment is already in place — we'll quote both options.
What paint holds up best on a staircase?
A hard-wearing eggshell or satin, specifically formulated for high-traffic woodwork, resists scuffs and grip marks far better than standard matt or gloss.

Yes — Canonbury is part of our coverage across the London Borough of Islington, alongside Essex Road, Islington, De Beauvoir, De Beauvoir Town. One local team, one standard, across the whole borough.
