Sash and case window restoration and painting

What the job covers

• Loose and flaking paint taken off the sash and the case.
• Bare timber primed before any finish coat.
• Undercoat and finish on the faces you see, and on the edges that usually get missed.
• Meeting rails, cills and staff beads included in the paint line.
• Inside faces and outside faces, so rain is not left a bare edge to sit on.

When the paint breaks down

Once the paint film cracks, water gets into the timber. A full coat on the sash and the case keeps that film continuous, including the bottom rail and the cill, which take the weather.

The same visit can cover the surrounding woodwork. Doors, linings and the rest of the decorating are on the painting and decorating page.
