For agents and property managers
Refresh tired frames before the next inspection.
Faded aluminium windows and doors can make a well-kept property feel dated. An onsite respray can refresh their appearance before sale or lease, with access and scheduling planned around tenants.
Prepare the property
A practical refresh before marketing
We assess the frames and access, then set a clear scope for the property owner or manager to approve.
Faded or chalky frames
Sun and weather exposure can change the appearance of aluminium over time. We inspect the existing coating and discuss whether the frames are suitable for a refresh.
Consistent presentation
A selected colour can tie frames and doors together across the property. Colour change may require more coats than a same-colour refresh, depending on the product system and conditions.
Scope the right items
List the windows, sliding doors and visible frames that matter for the campaign. We can assess the full set rather than treating one isolated item without context.
Quote with access in mind
The number and size of frames, height, condition, repairs and masking complexity influence the scope. We confirm the work and factors in the quote.
Choose a finish that suits the property
Consider the exterior palette, glazing and other painted elements before choosing a frame colour. A consistent finish can support the presentation, but the final selection remains subject to suitable products and site assessment.
Tenant-aware scheduling
Work around residents and access
We coordinate access with the property manager and tenant, and explain which areas need to be clear during the work.
Arrange entry clearly
Confirm keys, notices, parking and any building access requirements before the visit. The manager can help residents understand the planned work area.
Protect the home
Glass, seals and nearby finishes are masked as required. We plan around furniture, curtains and balcony use so the work area can be reached safely.
Stage occupied properties
Where a property has many openings, work can be organised in sections. The sequence depends on access, frame count and the household’s needs.
Keep tenants informed
Agree who will share access instructions and scheduling details. Clear communication helps avoid missed entry and unnecessary disruption.
Confirm balcony and window access
Tell us whether balconies are in use, whether window coverings can be moved and if any openings are difficult to reach. These details help us plan protection without making assumptions about tenant availability.
Choose the right approach
Respray or replace the frames?
Respraying retains suitable existing frames and changes their finish onsite. Replacement is more appropriate when the frame itself is damaged or no longer functions properly.
Retain sound joinery
If the frames are structurally sound and operate as intended, recoating can refresh their appearance without removing the window assembly.
Address faults separately
Failed hardware, leaks, damaged seals or distorted frames need assessment beyond the coating. We identify visible concerns before confirming a finish scope.
Allow for preparation
Cleaning, preparation and masking are part of the job. The condition of the existing coating and the chosen colour affect the work required.
Plan around the marketing date
Share the preferred access window and campaign schedule when requesting the quote. The work plan depends on the property size, access and preparation required, so allow time to confirm the scope before photography or inspections. We can discuss this sequence when preparing the proposal.
Compliance
A documented property scope
We set out the items and access assumptions in the quote so owners and managers can review the work before arranging entry.

Questions
Property managers: your questions answered
Can faded frames be changed to a new colour?
Yes, a colour change is possible on suitable frames. The selected colour and existing finish affect preparation and coating requirements.
Do tenants need to move out?
Usually no. We plan access with the manager and tenant, and identify the areas that need to be clear while work is underway.
Do windows need to be removed?
No, the respray is completed onsite with suitable installed frames remaining in place. We assess access and condition first.
Can you match the existing frame colour?
We can assess the existing finish and available references. Weathering can change the original colour, so a sample may be useful.
Can you refresh only some of the windows?
Yes. We can scope selected frames, though adjacent items may look different if their finish or exposure varies.
