Question 1

Will sanding the old paint leave my home covered in dust?

Accepted Answer

We use advanced Festool sanders connected directly to M-class dust extractors. This system captures up to 99% of dust at the source before it even enters the room. It ensures a flawless, smooth surface for painting while keeping your home completely clean and protecting you from airborne particles—especially important when dealing with historic lead-based paints.

Question 2

Can you match the original paint colors or finishes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We can perfectly match any existing colour or finish. Whether you want to seamlessly blend with your current frames or completely refresh the look using heritage shades from brands like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene, we use highly durable, fully colour-matched protective exterior paints.

Question 3

What is the typical timeframe for a full preparation and repaint?

Accepted Answer

This depends heavily on the condition of the existing timber and paintwork. Proper preparation- stripping flaking paint, filling, sanding, and allowing premium primers to cure properly takes time. As a general guide, a standard bay window typically takes a few days to fully prepare and paint, ensuring a finish that will last for years rather than just a quick topcoat.

Question 4

Can you repair rotten timber and re-cord the sashes before painting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The painting stage is the ideal time to carry out essential maintenance. While the frames are exposed, we can perform epoxy resin repairs on rotten timber, replace snapped sash cords, install new ironmongery, or route in discreet perimeter draught-proofing to vastly improve thermal efficiency.
