Sash Window Painting in West Dulwich: What to expect
Most West Dulwich (SE21) sash projects are on victorian housess 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.
West Dulwich benefits from its proximity to Dulwich Village's cultural amenities and green spaces. The area's substantial Victorian and Edwardian homes often feature high ceilings, original cornicing, and generous room proportions — all of which call for careful decorating. We're experienced in working with the Dulwich Estate's guidelines and bring sympathetic colour choices to these well-maintained properties.
