Wood Painters in Worthing
Worthing Painters are wood painters covering properties across Worthing and the surrounding West Sussex coast, including Goring-by-Sea, Lancing, Rustington, Angmering, Findon Valley, Broadwater, and Shoreham-by-Sea.
- Interior hardwood and exterior timber
- Staining, varnishing, and protective finishes
- Stripping and timber restoration
- Bespoke joinery finishing
Riverside and older period properties in Shoreham-by-Sea on Buckingham Road sometimes feature original timber cladding, external hardwood elements, or exposed interior beams. These require careful preparation: wire brushing, sanding, and correct primer selection. This ensures the finish bonds to weathered wood rather than sitting on the surface and peeling within a season. Wood painting is part of our full exterior painting service for all external timber elements.

Wood Painting Services
Interior Hardwood
Interior hardwood—floors, beams, panelling—can be painted, stained, or varnished depending on the wood species and desired finish. We advise on finishes that enhance rather than hide the timber.
Exterior Timber
Exterior timber cladding, exposed beams, and hardwood elements require finishes that tolerate weather and UV. We use exterior-grade stains, paints, or oils suited to coastal exposure.
Staining and Varnishing
Wood stain emphasises natural grain while protecting the timber. Varnish provides a clear protective finish.
We advise on both options based on the timber species and location.
Stripping and Restoration
Heavily painted timber can be stripped back to reveal the original wood. This is labour-intensive but often reveals quality timber worth showing.
We advise on stripping options during the consultation.
Timber Cladding and Exposed Beams
Timber cladding on exterior elevations and exposed interior beams receive careful finishing. Weathered timber requires extra sanding and priming to ensure new finish adheres properly.

Here’s How It Works
1. Wood assessment.
We visit and assess the timber type, existing finish, condition, and exposure. We discuss colour and finish options—paint, stain, varnish, or oil.
2. Preparation.
Existing finish is stripped if needed. Timber is sanded smooth. Weathered surfaces are wire-brushed and sanded to accept new finish.
3. Priming if needed.
Bare timber gets appropriate primer based on timber species and intended finish. Exterior timber gets exterior-grade primer.
4. Finish application.
Paint, stain, varnish, or oil is applied in two coats. Each coat dries fully before the next is applied. Timber finishes require longer drying time than paint.
5. Final inspection.
The finished timber is inspected for even coverage and quality. Touch-ups are completed before finishing.
Wood Painting Costs in Worthing
Cost Factors
Prices below are estimates only. Every project is different. Call 01903 497335 for a precise quote.
Wood finishing typically costs between £650 and £1,200 for exterior timber cladding projects, depending on size and condition.
Three things drive the price:
Surface area. A large timber cladding elevation costs more than a small area. More linear metres means more material and more time.
Condition. Weathered timber requiring heavy sanding costs more than well-maintained timber. Stripping work adds significant cost.
Finish type. Simple stain or paint is more economical. Varnish and oil finishes cost more per litre and require more careful application.
Trade insight. Shoreham-by-Sea riverside properties with period timber cladding often benefit from stripping back and restoration rather than painting over old finishes.
Typical ranges:
Interior wood panel or beam finishing (single room, stain or varnish): £400 to £750.
Exterior timber cladding repaint (one elevation, Shoreham-by-Sea property): £650 to £1,200.
Full timber restoration project (stripping and refinishing, significant area): £1,000 to £2,000+ depending on scope.
