Paint stripping in Leeds.
The local stock
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.
How we serve Leeds
Most Leeds customers send pieces to the workshop by courier or arrange a van collection. We work with a small number of Leeds-based trade restorers who can also drop items off on the workshop's behalf.
Common questions
About paint stripping in Leeds.
Can I send a piece from Leeds by courier?
Yes — we have customers from all over the UK sending doors, fireplaces and smaller furniture by overnight courier. Pack the piece well, photograph it before it leaves, and we photograph it again when it arrives. Turn-around is the same as for local customers (7–10 working days for most doors).
How much does it cost to strip a Leeds Edwardian staircase?
Staircases are quoted per job — the variables are the number of balusters, the newel posts, the handrail, and the condition. A typical Edwardian staircase from a Headingley semi lands between £650 and £1,200 to strip. We can do the lot in the workshop, or come out to site for the bigger jobs.
Do you do house clearances in Leeds?
Occasionally, on a case-by-case basis. We don't run a clearance service, but we do work with Leeds estate agents and house-clearance firms who use us to restore saleable pieces from probate properties. Ring 01484 666 333 to discuss.

Wakefield
Wakefield's housing stock runs from the sandstone terraces of Kirkgate and the city centre to the biggish Victorian semis in Sandal, Agbrigg and Ossett. Out toward Pontefract and Normanton the houses are a bit later — Edwardian and 1930s semis — and the woodwork is often oak-stained softwood rather than pitch pine.
Huddersfield
Huddersfield is stone terraces, end-to-end. Victorian mill workers' cottages off Leeds Road, Georgian semis around Edgerton, and a townhouse belt in Lindley and Marsh. Most have original four-panel doors and stained floorboards that have been painted over more times than anyone can count. Cast-iron fireplaces are everywhere too — often boarded up behind a 1970s gas fire and only discovered when the chimney breast comes out.
Halifax
Halifax has one of the best collections of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing in West Yorkshire, particularly around Savile Town, King Cross, and Copley. The houses are tall, narrow and full of dark-stained woodwork — staircase banisters, dado rails, four-panel doors — most of it original pitch pine or mahogany, much of it painted over. The Piece Hall and the surrounding Georgian townhouses set the tone for the upper town.
