Window Frame Painters in Coventry

Original softwood sash windows in Earlsdon and Styvechale period properties have accumulated paint layers over many decades. The sash channel narrows with each coat.

We strip the sash channel back to allow clearance before repriming and repainting. Sashes are checked to slide freely at every stage.

Casement windows on Coventry’s post-war stock in Finham, Canley, and Cheylesmore include timber, metal, and uPVC frames. Timber casement frames need sanding, priming, and exterior gloss or satin.

Metal casement frames need a rust-inhibiting primer before any topcoat. Where rust is present, we treat it before priming.

uPVC frames can be repainted with a specialist adhesion primer and compatible finish coat. This is a cost-effective alternative to replacement where the frame is structurally sound.

The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased before the adhesion primer is applied.

Fascias and soffits are part of the window frame and roof line system. Timber fascias in period Coventry properties deteriorate from the top surface where water sits.

External window sills collect standing water. The sill nose is often the first point of failure. We pay particular attention to sill noses.

The preparation stage separates a window frame finish that lasts from one that fails within a year. Exterior timber expands and contracts with temperature change.

We do not apply topcoat to bare or poorly primed timber. Primer is not optional. It is the stage that makes the work last.
