Sash windows in Teddington
Rotten sills, sash frames, porches and mouldings repaired and brought back rather than ripped out and replaced in plastic. We have been doing this work in Teddington and the streets around it for decades.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the High Street and the roads down towards Teddington Lock. That mix shapes how we approach sash window and timber restoration here: the preparation is the job, and the topcoat is what you see at the end of it.
A sash window that has been painted shut for twenty years is not a write-off. In most of the houses we work on the timber is better than anything you could buy new, it just needs the rot cut out, the joints made good, the beads freed off and a proper paint system putting back on.
We cut out soft timber back to sound wood, splice in new where a section has gone, treat, fill and prime, then finish in an exterior eggshell that flexes with the frame. Glazing putty is replaced where it has failed. Where the sash has been painted shut, we cut the seal and free the runs so the window works again.
Teddington houses are mostly Victorian and Edwardian, which means original sash windows, lath-and-plaster ceilings and stairwells that have settled. All three need a decorator who repairs before painting rather than filling and hoping. Several of the before-and-after jobs on this site are Teddington houses.
Quotes in Teddington are done in person and put in writing. Steve calls back by the end of the working day, and the same family team turns up each morning until the job is finished.

“Steve came highly recommended by several neighbors in our development. He lived up to his good reputation. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and his worker, Ray, did a great job for us and was pleasant company too! We thought the price was fair and Steve was flexible with scheduling. We will use him again anytime we need a painter.”
“We have used Steve's services a few times before and have always been pleased with the results. So he and his excellent team were first choice for our current job. This was for exterior and interior paintwork, and the results are first-class. Daniel has done a wonderful job making everything crisp and smart again. Nothing is too much trouble and what really impresses is that he uses much initiative to solve tricky problems, rather than bouncing them back to the client as so many others do. We are happy to recommend Steve's team completely. Thank you.”
“Daniel did an amazing job painting our home after just moving in. Not only was his work immaculate taking time to ensure every element was sanded, filled and cleaned. He also was extremely professional, polite and reliable. I couldn't recommend Daniel, Steve and the family enough. We look forward to using again.”
“Steve and his team have just fully decorated and repaired the outside of our large Victorian house in Strawberry Hill. The work is excellent. Steve has great attention to detail and manages the work efficiently to ensure a very high quality finish. Harvey, Daniel, Ray and Davy were all brilliant. I would have no hesitation in using them again and in fact have hired them straight away to do a small interior job for me. Thanks Steve!”
“The service simply was top notch, actually he did more than what I remember to ask for and even came back to do something I remembered later at no cost. Above and beyond. I am a trades person by profession so I can be a bit critical. So I do not give 10 easily. I'll happily reuse Steve again.”
“Steve and his team have been my decorators for many years. Their standard of workmanship is very high, and in addition they are efficient, tidy, courteous and polite. Their technical knowledge of wallpaper and paint finishes and appropriate materials to use, and when to use them, is second to none. It is a pleasure to work with all the members of the team and I would highly recommend them.”
“Steve and Harvey had already done the rest of our house, and we had him back to decorate our kitchen and living room. Harvey did really meticulous work, arrived when they said they would, helped with solutions to problem areas and got the job done to a very high standard in plenty of time. We are so impressed with them that they've now done our whole house, room by room! All at fair rates, and very polite and trustworthy. Thanks so much Steve and Harvey!”
“Steve and his team completed a full internal painting/decorating job on my 3 bed house. They did a brilliant job which also included a number of other repairs before painting, which included lots of cracks in the walls and plaster damage too. I moved out of the house and left Steve with my house keys to enable them to finish the work sooner and felt very comfortable leaving them to get on with the work. The quality of the work was excellent and I returned home to a clean and beautifully painted 'like new' house!”
