uPVC spraying for Sandy homes
Frames are cleaned and degreased, keyed, and masked off from glass, seals, sills and brick before spraying on site in coatings made for uPVC.
About 89% of homes in Sandy are houses rather than flats. In a flat, changing the frames may need the agreement of the building's owner or freeholder, so check that before booking.
Colours, weather and planning
Spraying is weather-dependent, so spring to early autumn is the time to book. Inside the Sandy conservation area, check with Central Bedfordshire Council before changing frame colour.
A front door is a good place to test a darker shade, and any timber on the house can be brush-painted to match with our exterior house painting. French doors and conservatory frames go through the same process as the windows.

How we approach upvc spraying
For Sandy's 1970s overspill houses and later estates we wash and degrease each frame to remove the outdoor film, key the surface lightly, then mask glass, seals and brickwork. Coatings made for uPVC go on in thin sprayed coats on dry, mild days, with drying time allowed between each one. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
