Paint stripping in Wetherby.
The local stock
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.
How we serve Wetherby
Wetherby sits just off the A1, around three-quarters of an hour from the workshop. We handle Wetherby jobs by arrangement — larger pieces collected by van, smaller items sent by courier or dropped at the workshop when convenient.
Common questions
About paint stripping in Wetherby.
Can you strip a Georgian six-panel door from Wetherby?
Yes — Georgian six-panel doors are some of the most satisfying pieces we strip. We dip them, hand-finish the raised panels and mouldings, and return bare timber ready to wax, oil or repaint in a period colour. Heavier or glazed front doors are quoted individually.
Do you collect from Wetherby?
For larger restoration work — staircases, full door sets, panelling — Daniel arranges a collection by van. For one or two smaller pieces, courier is usually the simplest option, and we'll talk you through packing them safely.
Can you match an original Georgian or period finish?
Yes — we use Manns, Fiddes, Farrow & Ball and Little Greene finishes to match period woodwork, whether that's a waxed bare-timber look or a heritage paint colour. Tell us what the rest of the house looks like and we'll match the finished piece to it.

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.
Knaresborough
Knaresborough tumbles down the gorge above the River Nidd under its famous railway viaduct, and the old town is a warren of Georgian and Victorian houses in warm gritstone — steep streets like Kirkgate and Briggate full of panelled doors, sash windows and original staircases. Many of the houses are listed or in the conservation area, so owners tend to restore the original joinery rather than swap it for modern replacements.
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.
