Westminster Painters & Decorators
Planning sash window decoration
A window schedule helps distinguish painting from timber repairs and work on the opening mechanism.
Discuss your projectRecord each window
State whether the interior, exterior or both are included. Photograph lower rails, putty, joints and visible paint failure, and note any difficulty opening the sash.
Separate repairs
Paint will not correct decayed timber or a faulty mechanism. Any repair should be identified and agreed before the coating work is priced as a complete package.
Plan access and drying
Discuss how the windows will be reached, secured and reopened. Protect the glass and ironmongery, and follow the chosen coating’s guidance on application and drying.
