Professional sash window painting & restoration across Hampstead Village
Sash windows define Hampstead streetscapes. Stuck sashes, failed putty, and thick overpainting destroy both function and appearance. We restore and repaint original timber so windows open, close, and weather properly again.
Work typically includes careful flatting or controlled stripping, putty repair, timber making-good, primer, and flexible exterior joinery finish systems — bay by bay so rooms stay secure overnight.

Local challenges
Sash Window Painting & Restoration challenges specific to Hampstead Village
These are the practical issues that separate a lasting finish from a short-lived repaint on NW3 properties.
01
Overpainted meeting rails
Excess paint layers bind sashes shut — controlled reduction restores movement without destroying profiles.
02
Putty failure and moisture ingress
Failed putty is repaired before finish coats so water does not sit behind new paint.
03
Weight and cord issues
Where balance systems fail, we coordinate repair so painting is not wasted on non-functioning windows.
04
Street-facing finish quality
Front elevations in Hampstead are highly visible; cut lines and sheen consistency matter.
