Frames, doors and conservatories in the parish
About 92% of homes in the parish are houses rather than flats, so most owners can decide about their own frames without asking a freeholder. Spraying changes the colour of windows, doors and conservatory frames without taking them out.
Spraying is cosmetic. If a frame is split or a sealed unit has misted, Graham will point it out so you can decide whether to replace that window first.
Conservation areas and the spraying season
If your house is in the Haddenham or Haddenham Hill Row conservation area, or is one of the parish's 16 listed buildings, ask East Cambridgeshire District Council before changing the colour of a street-facing frame.
Spraying is outdoor work that depends on the weather, so spring to early autumn is the time to book. Timber windows elsewhere on the house can be painted to match under our exterior painting service, and there's more on doors on our uPVC door spraying page.

How we approach upvc spraying
Spraying day begins with washing and degreasing each frame, then keying the surface by hand. Masking covers the glass, gaskets, handles and the brick around each opening. The frames are then sprayed in place with a coating designed for uPVC. We only spray in dry, settled weather, which is why this work is booked from spring to early autumn. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
