Sash Window Painting in St John's Wood: What to expect
Most St John's Wood (NW8) sash projects are on stucco villass 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.
St John's Wood's wide tree-lined avenues are home to substantial stucco-fronted villas, ambassadorial residences and the mansion blocks behind Lord's. Our team is experienced with the Eyre Estate's exterior colour guidance, the discretion expected on roads like Avenue Road and Hamilton Terrace, and the high-specification interior work that NW8 homeowners take for granted.

What St John's Wood clients say
"From the first email to the final walk-around, the whole experience felt considered. Quoting was transparent, the team was lovely, and our flat looks brand new."
