uPVC Window & Door Spraying in Melbourn

Spraying uPVC frames in Melbourn

Respraying changes the frame colour where it stands. We wash and degrease the plastic, key it lightly, mask glass, seals, handles and brickwork, and spray thin coats of a coating made for uPVC. Ordinary exterior paint isn't designed to bond and flex with plastic, so we don't use it.

Graham checks the frames first. A cracked profile or a failed seal needs replacing, and no coating will change that.

Over 90% of Melbourn homes are houses rather than flats, so most jobs take in windows on two floors plus a front or back door, and sometimes the frames of a conservatory as well.

Doors, conservatories and the conservation area

Front doors, French doors and conservatory frames can all be sprayed. Before choosing anthracite or sage for windows in Melbourn's conservation area, or on a listed building, check with South Cambridgeshire District Council whether permission is needed.

Timber windows on older houses are brushed instead, and our Melbourn exterior painting page covers those.

How we approach upvc spraying

Because the spraying happens outdoors, we book it for dry, mild days from spring to early autumn and keep an eye on the forecast. Each window is prepared and masked in turn, coats go on thin with drying time between, and frames can usually be opened once the coating has cured enough to handle. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
