Sash Window
Painting

Professional preparation and painting of timber sash windows and frames across London — combined with an overhaul or as a standalone service.

What's involved

Preparation is
everything.

A good paint job on timber sash windows starts long before the first coat goes on. We strip back failed paintwork, fill cracks and open grain, prime bare timber, and build up coats in the correct sequence — not cut corners in the name of speed.

Painting can be combined with a full mechanical overhaul — which is the most common approach when windows are both tired and overdue a repaint — or carried out as a standalone service on windows that are mechanically sound but cosmetically poor.

We work in all standard exterior and interior colours. Period colours from Farrow & Ball and Little Greene are a particular speciality — we know which shades work well on timber sash windows and how to achieve a clean, consistent result.

Combined service

Overhaul & paint
at the same visit.

Most windows that need painting also benefit from a mechanical overhaul. Combining both services in one visit is more efficient and cost-effective than two separate trips.

Overhaul only

New cords, weights, pulleys, draughtproofing, and ironmongery. Typically 3–4 windows per day. Windows left mechanically sound but unpainted.

Overhaul with paint

Full mechanical overhaul as above, plus full preparation and painting of sashes and frame. Typically 0.75 windows per day. The most comprehensive single-visit service.

Paint only

For windows that are mechanically sound but need a cosmetic refresh. Preparation and painting without the overhaul. Typically 1–2 windows per day depending on condition.
