The variables that decide your figure
Stairwell height
Tall stairwells need specialist scaffold platforms. Two-storey stairwells can add £200–£400 for access equipment.

Each spindle is individually sanded, primed, and painted. 30+ spindles is a full day's work.
Dado and picture rails
Period features need careful cutting-in and often need stripping back to bare wood first.

Across the UK, decorating a hall, stairs and landing typically costs £450–£1,200 — with most homes falling in the £600–£900 range. In Stanway and the wider Cotswolds area, the average we quote is around £700–£950 for a standard 3-bed semi, including ceilings, walls, woodwork, spindles and the stairwell. The big variables are ceiling height over the stairwell, the condition of existing woodwork and whether spindles need stripping or just a refresh.

Tall stairwell walls, awkward access over the steps, dozens of spindles and high-traffic woodwork all benefit from proper scaffolding, the right primers and a steady hand. A DIY job here usually shows roller lines, brush marks on the spindles and missed cut-ins around the stringer that a professional finish avoids.
