Sash Window Painting in Greenwich: What to expect
Most Greenwich (SE10) sash projects are on georgian 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.
Greenwich's UNESCO World Heritage status reflects the extraordinary architectural quality of its buildings. We work on the Georgian terraces around the park, the Victorian streets of East Greenwich, and the contemporary developments along the peninsula. Our experience in this area means we understand conservation requirements, period-appropriate colour palettes, and the particular needs of riverside properties.
