Frequently Asked Questions

Paint spraying is a technique for applying a smooth, even coat of paint to various surfaces. For uPVC, it involves specialised equipment and techniques to ensure a durable, long-lasting finish that looks like new. 

There are many reasons that customers choose spraying services over replacing their windows and doors; here are the top 5:

• Cost-effective: Spraying is significantly cheaper than replacing your uPVC.
• Environmentally friendly: Avoids sending old windows and doors to landfill.
• Fast turnaround: Most projects are completed within 1-3 days.
• Huge colour choice: Choose from a wide range of colors and finishes to match your style.
• Durable and long-lasting: The finish is weather-resistant and can last for many years.

 We can spray a variety of surfaces, including many of the below items. However, if you have an item or project that you would like to discuss then speak with a member of the Manchester Spray team today.

• uPVC windows and doors
• Conservatories
• Garage doors
• Cladding
• Kitchen cabinets
• Furniture

Most paint spraying projects can be completed within 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. We aim to minimise disruption to your home or business. 

 Weather can play a role in the uPVC spraying process and paint curing.

Here's how:

• Ideal Conditions: Dry, mild temperatures and low humidity are the best conditions for spraying. These conditions allow the paint to adhere properly and cure evenly. 
• Rain: Rain can disrupt the spraying process and wash away freshly applied paint. We typically avoid spraying in the rain and may need to reschedule if rain is expected. 
• Extreme Temperatures:  Very hot temperatures can cause the paint to dry too quickly, leading to an uneven finish. Extremely cold temperatures can prevent the paint from curing properly.  We take precautions and adjust our techniques in extreme conditions. 
• Humidity: High humidity can slow down the drying process and affect the final finish. We monitor humidity levels and may use different techniques to ensure proper curing. 

 Yes, we offer a 10-year guarantee on all our paint spraying work, giving you peace of mind and confidence in our services.

Absolutely! While we specialise in uPVC window spraying, our expertise extends to a wide range of external surfaces. 

We can spray:

• Doors:  uPVC, composite, wood, and metal doors.
• Conservatories:  Frames, roofs, and guttering.
• Garage Doors:  uPVC, wood, and metal garage doors.

Essentially, if it's made of uPVC, metal, or wood and it's outside, we can probably spray it!  Just ask us about your specific needs, and we'll be happy to advise you.

Usually not!  We work safely and efficiently from ladders to minimise disruption.

However, scaffolding might be needed if:

• Your windows are very high (above the third story).
• Access is restricted (e.g., by conservatories).
• It's a large or complex project.

During our estimate visit, we'll advise you on whether scaffolding is needed and can even do a ladder check. If it is, we'll let you know so you can arrange it.

The colour choices are practically endless! We offer a vast range of colours and finishes to match your style and preferences.

Here are some popular options:

• Standard RAL colours: We have a comprehensive selection of RAL colours, the industry standard for paint matching. This includes popular choices like anthracite grey (RAL 7016), jet black (RAL 9005), and traffic white (RAL 9016).
• Bespoke colour matching:  If you have a specific colour in mind, we can usually match it.  Just provide us with a sample or colour code.
• Different finishes:  We offer various finishes, including matt, satin, and gloss, to achieve the desired look for your windows.
