Window Frame Restoration

The high-level external window frames needed preparation and repainting. The work centred on restoring the frames with a four-coat protective system, followed by a window clean to complete the job.

All frames were sanded and prepared before the coatings were applied in sequence:

1. A first coat of Zinsser.
2. Dulux Weathershield primer.
3. Two coats of Dulux Weathershield gloss.

The access options were rope access or a very large scaffold installation. Conventional anchor points were limited, so establishing a suitable access arrangement was an important part of planning the work.

The team used a portable deadweight anchor system to establish the rope-access system. This provided access to the window frames without the scale and disruption of a large scaffold installation.

Once the coating work was complete, the team finished with a window clean, leaving the windows and frames presentable after the restoration work.

The project brought together access planning, surface preparation, a four-coat finish and final cleaning. The frames were restored and protected without requiring a full scaffold installation, despite the limited conventional anchor points.
