Why so many Teversham frames are white
Council Tax records show about 730 homes in the parish built between 1983 and 1992 alone. Whether they had uPVC from new or had it fitted later, many still carry plain white frames, doors and conservatories. Houses outnumber flats here by close to four to one, and flat owners usually need to check their lease before changing frames.
Graham looks at each frame before quoting. A coating won't rescue a cracked frame or a failed seal, and he'll tell you if a window needs replacing rather than spraying.
Spraying frames where they stand
Each frame is cleaned and degreased, then keyed so the coating can grip. Glass, seals, handles and brickwork are masked, and the frames are sprayed on site in coatings made for uPVC.
The work depends on the weather, so it's best booked from spring to early autumn. Inside the Teversham conservation area, check with the council before changing the colour of frames facing the street. Any timber windows on the house can be brushed to match as part of our exterior painting.

How we approach upvc spraying
On a Teversham house we survey every frame and note cracks or failed seals, then clean, degrease and key the uPVC. Glass, rubber seals, handles, sills and surrounding brick are masked tightly. The frames are sprayed on site in a coating made for uPVC, on a dry, mild day between spring and early autumn. The full method, products and FAQs are on our upvc spraying page.
