Should I respray or replace tired uPVC on my Truro home?
Structurally sound frames are usually better sprayed on-site — same colour result for materially less cost. Failed seals or draughts point toward replacement. We survey both routes. A recent Truro example: timber-effect sash casements behind a lemon street georgian façade.

Almost certainly — RAL 7016 anthracite is stocked, and less common estate foils are pulled to order with reference from your existing frames on the day of survey. Feedback from J.: "Surveyor took the time to walk us through both options. Refreshing."
