uPVC spraying for Stotfold houses
The process is the same on every frame. We wash and degrease to remove the outdoor film on the plastic, lightly abrade to give the coating a key, mask glass, seals, handles, sills and brick, then spray in thin coats of a coating made specifically for uPVC.
Houses make up about 91% of homes in Stotfold, so most jobs cover windows on two floors, a front door and sometimes a conservatory.
Planning rules and colours
No conservation area is centred in Stotfold parish in Historic England's data. If your house is one of the 18 listed buildings, check with Central Bedfordshire Council before changing frame colours. Greys, greens and off-blacks are popular, and samples are best judged against your own brick in daylight.
If the walls are being repainted, exterior painting in Stotfold can be planned alongside.

How we approach upvc spraying
Graham checks every frame before quoting, because a cracked profile or failed seal won't be cured by a coating. Spraying is booked for dry, mild weather between spring and early autumn, coats are built up thinly with drying time between, and windows can usually be opened once the coating has cured enough to handle. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
