Painting
Even though many original sash windows are well over a 100 years old, most of the timber may well be in a sound condition. The windows may be covered with many layers of paint and generally a bit ‘tired’.
It is possible to fully renovate and decorate old windows. Built up paintwork will often need to be burned off back to bare timberwork and then redecorated.
We have a fully experienced team of decorators who can cater for all your needs, from the very old original windows to newly made.
