uPVC spraying in Cottenham, frame by frame
Every frame is washed and degreased, then lightly keyed so the new coating bonds. We mask the glass, rubber seals, handles, sills and nearby brickwork before spraying on site in a coating designed for uPVC. It is weather-dependent work, best done between spring and early autumn.
Graham inspects each frame at the visit, including the seals and the corners where cracks start. Cracked frames, misted units or failed seals need replacing, and spraying won't hide that, so he'll say so before you spend anything.
Houses, doors and the conservation area
Around 94% of Cottenham's households live in a house rather than a flat or caravan, so most jobs here cover every window plus the front and back doors. You can also start with window spraying on the front elevation and do the rest later.
Homes in the Cottenham conservation area, and listed buildings, may need the council's view before frame colours change, so ask South Cambridgeshire District Council first. Our uPVC spraying page explains the process in full.

How we approach upvc spraying
Frames are washed, degreased and lightly abraded, then wiped down so no dust is trapped under the coating. We mask tightly to glass and gaskets, protect sills and paths, and spray thin coats with drying time between them. Bookings are made for spring to early autumn and moved if the forecast turns wet. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
