  • I have a wooden sash window in urgent need of renovation and wanted to check method and likely time scale with anyone who’s done this before.

    So, remove lower and upper sash and tape up window with plastic.
    Sand down flaking paint with coarse paper.
    Fill any problem areas with wood filler (any specific filler I should source for this?), let dry and sand these areas down.
    Paint with primer (bin123 or something else?)
    Let dry and then 2 coats of white exterior wood paint (I’d be grateful if any specific paint recommendations).
    Is this all doable in a weeeknd?

    Thanks in advance

  • I've painted dozens but only removed as you describe once - restringing the (new) cord to the weight and fixing to the window side is a two person job

  • Sorry, I should’ve said - it’s a modern style sash that clips off a metal bar in the frame, so easy to remove (he says!)
