Houses, flats and conservation areas
Around 88% of homes in the town are houses, so most frames sit on the owner's own walls. For the 12% of households in flats, windows are commonly managed by a freeholder, so get their agreement before arranging any work.
Haverhill has two conservation areas, Hamlet Road and Queen Street. Inside either, a change of frame colour is worth raising with West Suffolk Council before you choose.
On-site spraying, step by step
Each frame is cleaned and degreased to lift the film plastic picks up outdoors, then keyed so the coating can bond. We mask glass, seals, handles, sills and brickwork before spraying in coatings made for uPVC, at your house rather than in a workshop.
The work is weather-dependent, so it's best booked between spring and early autumn. Doors and conservatory frames can be done alongside the windows, and walls or fascias can be matched through our Haverhill exterior painting.

How we approach upvc spraying
We'd agree with you which frames to include, then clean, degrease and key each one. Glass, rubber seals and brick reveals are masked tightly. Spraying is done on site on dry, mild days, and the front elevation is often finished first so you can see the colour on the house. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
