Painting doors and window frames — Painter
List the doors and windows to be decorated, including which faces, frames and openings are included. A closed external frame and a frequently used entrance have different access constraints. Mention sticking components, damaged seals or soft timber so these are assessed separately from colour changes.
Service scope
Decorative preparation and coating of existing doors, window frames and associated trim. The service concerns the finish of the joinery rather than replacing the units, and separates moving parts, glazing, hardware and any decayed sections from straightforward repainting.
What is normally included
- Coating agreed door and frame surfaces
- Protection of glazing and fittings
- Local preparation of sound joinery
What is not included
- Automatic replacement of doors or glazing
- Repairing structural frame failure with paint
Typical tasks
- Inspect frames and door leaves
- Identify surfaces and edges to include
- Protect glazing and removable fittings
- Prepare compatible existing finishes
- Check operation after the agreed coating work
What to include in your brief
- Number and type of doors or windows
- Internal and external faces required
- Photos of profiles and damaged areas
- Material and previous finish
- Security and opening-access arrangements
Choosing the right professional
Compare quotes by the same item schedule. Confirm whether preparation reaches rebates and edges, who removes fittings and how openings remain secure while coatings dry. Request separate advice for rot, glazing defects or failed hardware.
Important considerations
- Coating buildup can affect clearances at moving parts
- Concealed deterioration may only become apparent during preparation
