Clean the surface well to remove debris, dust, and any existing paint. Use an uPVC cleaner or a solution of warm soapy water. Allow to dry thoroughly before painting.

Can I entirely change the colour of the uPVC?

Should I use a brush, roller, or spray paint to paint uPVC?

Touch-ups or repainting of painted uPVC surfaces may be required over time to maintain their appearance. Regular cleaning can also help to extend the life of the paint.

How long does painted uPVC last?

Remember that good surface preparation and the use of the suitable products are critical for successful UPVC painting. It’s often a good idea to check with a professional or follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific paint product you’ve chosen.

Is the job guaranteed?

Yes. We guarantee all of our work for a term of ten years. This begins on the completion date of the project. It is a guarantee against problems caused by poor workmanship and materials. The paint is also backed by a manufacturer’s warranty.

How do you gain access to the top windows?

We need a solid foundation to spray paint UPVC windows and trim above ground level. This is to meet our health and safety duties. Depending on the height of the window, we will either use a stable ladder or create a modest scaffolding platform. We have our own scaffolding, thus there is no extra expense for this.

Do you clean up afterward?

We always clean up after ourselves. We recycle all spray-painting materials, including masking tape, paper, and sheeting. If necessary, we will return plant pots and furniture to their former positions.
