Why so many frames here are white
The village was planned in one go, with the plan approved in 1964, and building carried on through the 1970s and 1980s. With 96% of households living in houses rather than flats, most frames are on your own walls, and a change of colour is your decision.
Spraying changes the colour of the frames where they are. The glass and fittings stay in place, and nothing has to be taken out and refitted.
The process, and the weather
Frames are washed and degreased, then lightly keyed so the coating can grip. Glass, seals, handles, brickwork and sills are masked before anything is sprayed, and we use coatings made for uPVC, applied on site at your house.
Because it all happens outdoors, the weather decides the timing. Spring to early autumn is the best season, and Belinda will book dates around dry, mild spells.
Graham can bring colour samples to the visit. Hold them against your brick in daylight rather than indoors, and if the walls or fascias are due a repaint too, our Bar Hill exterior painting can be planned alongside.

How we approach upvc spraying
We'd start with the front of the house, where colour shows most, and agree whether to include the front door and any conservatory. Each frame is cleaned, degreased and keyed, then glass, seals and brick reveals are masked. The coating is sprayed on site in dry weather. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
