Sash Window Painting in Isle of Dogs: What to expect
Most Isle of Dogs (E14) sash projects are on dockside apartmentss 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.
The Isle of Dogs mixes dockside apartment blocks around Millwall Outer Dock with Victorian and post-war houses in Cubitt Town and riverside new-builds along Westferry Road. Apartment work here usually means managed-building access and protection of shared corridors and lifts; house work is more traditional — full interiors, hallways and stairwells, and exterior woodwork that takes a battering from river weather. We use hard-wearing water-based systems throughout so finishes hold up to strong light and salt-laden wind off the Thames.

What Isle of Dogs clients say
"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."

"Painted our nursery and master bedroom while we were away for the weekend. Came back to a spotless house and a perfect finish. Trustworthy and discreet."
