Sash Window Painting in East Dulwich: What to expect
Most East Dulwich (SE22) sash projects are on victorian terracess with 10–20 windows of mixed condition. We hand-strip failing paint, repair the putty and open joints, ease the cords and pulleys so the sashes run again, prime with a microporous system, then finish in two coats of Sikkens or Dulux Trade Weathershield. Done once, properly, the exterior finish lasts 7–10 years.
East Dulwich has established itself as one of South East London's most desirable family areas. The Victorian terraces along Lordship Lane and the quieter residential streets offer generous proportions and period features that benefit from careful decoration. We regularly work in the area, and many of our East Dulwich clients return to us for subsequent rooms and projects.

What East Dulwich clients say
"Quote arrived within the hour and was the most detailed of three we received. The team was on time every day, kept the house immaculate, and the finish on our cornicing is genuinely flawless."
"Used The Painters London for our full downstairs repaint in Farrow & Ball. Same crew throughout — no subcontractors, no surprises. Will be using them again upstairs next year."
"Genuinely premium service. They prepped the walls properly — three days of filling and sanding before a brush came out — and it shows. Worth every penny."
