Window Frame Painting in Leiden

Why have your window frames painted

The paint layer on window frames is the first line of defence against moisture. Once that layer cracks or starts to peel, water can soak into the wood. It's at the joints — the corners and the sealant seams — that wood rot then sets in fastest. Timely painting is therefore mainly about maintaining the wood itself, not just a matter of appearance.

Inspection, preparation and finishing

We start with an inspection of the existing woodwork: where the paint is loose, where the sealant seams need replacing, and whether there are any soft spots that indicate wood rot. We remove loose paint, repair wood damage and renew any affected sealant seams.

We then sand the frames, prime any bare spots and apply the topcoats. For the interior side of window frames we use an interior lacquer; for the exterior, a system that withstands weather and UV exposure.

Which properties we carry out window frame painting for in Leiden

In Leiden we carry out window frame painting for private homeowners, VvE's and property managers. The housing stock in Leiden largely consists of canal houses, townhouses, apartment buildings, apartments, and each type of property needs its own approach — from height and accessibility to the type of woodwork or facade finish involved.

Whether it's a single home, a complete apartment block or a commercial building: we tailor the planning and approach to the situation on the ground in Leiden.

Cost and planning for window frame painting in Leiden

The cost of window frame painting depends on the scope of the work, the condition of the surface and the accessibility of the property. A terraced house calls for a different approach and planning than a complete apartment block. That's why we always start with an on-site assessment in Leiden, before preparing a concrete, clear quote.

For planning, we take the Dutch climate into account: we prefer to schedule exterior work during a dry, mild period, while interior work can be done year-round. For urgent situations — such as active wood rot — we try to respond faster.

Need scaffolding for window frame painting in Leiden?

For work at height — for example on an upper floor, guttering, or a multi-storey facade — scaffolding is often needed to work safely and efficiently. In Leiden we can arrange that directly through GoedkoopSteigerHuren.nl, part of the same organisation as Painting Company.

The advantage: you arrange painting work and scaffolding in a single request, with a single point of contact, instead of starting two separate processes.

Combining window frame painting with other work in Leiden

Many clients in Leiden combine window frame painting with other work, so it's all done properly in one go and scaffolding or an aerial platform is only needed once. Think of exterior painting, wood rot repair, vve painting, interior painting.
