Window Frame Repair
small cosmetic defects in sound window-frame material and finishes
Common situations
A small surface chip or finish defect can be reviewed when the surrounding material is sound. Show the whole window as well as the mark. The service is deliberately limited and does not imply that any damaged window frame can be restored.
Movement at a frame joint or distortion of the opening is outside cosmetic repair. Do not cover or force the affected area to improve its appearance. A suitable specialist should assess suspected structural failure before a local finish repair is considered.
A stiff handle or difficult opening may concern hinges, catches or other hardware rather than the frame finish. Describe how the window operates. Suitable hardware work belongs to its own service, and a cosmetic frame patch will not correct that mechanism.
Planning the work
Assess small suitable frame-finish repairs without disturbing glass, glazing beads, seals or structural joints. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Follow finish-drying advice and report recurring moisture or movement. A cosmetic repair does not resolve water entry or a failing frame. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Cosmetic damage must be separated from rot, structural joint failure, glazing defects and opening-hardware problems. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
St Andrews Beach property context
An occupied St Andrews Beach property may need preparation before window frame repair can begin. Show the complete window and a close view of the cosmetic defect, including nearby finishes and any moisture marks. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful St Andrews Beach enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Service overview
The existing finish and any requested paint work need to be identified in the quote. A local patch may remain visible beside aged coatings. Hazardous paint removal is excluded, and an exact colour or texture match cannot be promised from photos.
Work should not require removal of glass, glazing beads or seals. Show how close the defect is to those components. Glass replacement, seal work and specialist glazing repairs are excluded rather than treated as incidental parts of a small frame job.
Soft, crumbling or deteriorated timber is different from a surface blemish. Explain any known water exposure and show the surrounding area. Rot remediation has a separate repair scope, while a severely deteriorated frame may require a specialist replacement assessment.
The agreed service covers small cosmetic timber/frame finish repairs after condition and access review, without disturbing glass or the glazing system. Exclusions: Frame replacement, structural joints, glass/beading removal, seals, sash restoration, rot remediation (existing separate intent), hazardous coatings.

FAQ
Cosmetic damage must be separated from rot, structural joint failure, glazing defects and opening-hardware problems. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
Cosmetic damage must be separated from rot, structural joint failure, glazing defects and opening-hardware problems. Share the exact product or part specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish compatibility, and missing or damaged supplied components may change the work or require a later visit.

The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
