Sash Window Painting Specialists.
Original timber sashes eased, repaired and repainted — windows that slide as they should, protected by a proper exterior system.
About our sash window painting
London's Victorian and Edwardian sashes fail for one reason: paint applied badly. Sashes painted shut, glazing bars gobbed over, bare timber left to drink rain. We do it the slow way — sashes eased or removed, old paint taken back where it's failing, rot treated and filled with two-part filler, then primer, undercoat and a flexible exterior topcoat in thin, even passes. Glazing lines are cut clean by hand. The result is a window that slides freely, sheds water and won't need doing again for years.
What's included
- Easing, minor repairs and rot treatment as quoted
- Full prep: burn-off/sanding of failing paint, priming
- Undercoat plus flexible exterior topcoat, inside faces as quoted
- Putty and glazing-line making good, mess sheeted and removed

Sash Window Painting — frequently asked
Can you paint sash windows without them sticking?
Yes — that's the point of doing it properly. We ease the sashes first, paint the meeting surfaces thinly and move them during drying so they never bond shut.
My sills are soft — is that the end of them?
Usually not. Localised rot is cut back, treated and rebuilt with two-part resin filler before painting. We'll tell you honestly if a section needs a joiner instead.
How often do sash windows need repainting?
A properly prepped and painted sash typically goes 6–10 years outside depending on exposure. Poor prep is why some need doing every two.
