Planning your project

Painting and window replacement questions.

Can painting and window replacement be included in one project?

Yes. Sandvik coordinates painting, timber repairs and window replacement within a single project scope. An inspection helps identify which elements can be repaired and which need replacing, so preparation and replacement work can be planned before the final painting.

Do all damaged timber windows need replacing?

Not necessarily. Depending on their condition, individual sashes, sills or other timber sections may be repaired or replaced while retaining sound parts of the window. Sandvik can assess the existing windows and quote for the appropriate repair or replacement options.

Can you work while residents remain in the building?

Sandvik works on occupied apartment buildings. Access to individual windows and common areas is coordinated with the manager and residents. Any access requirements, work-area clearance and periods when windows or doors need to be available are discussed as part of planning.

What does preparation for exterior painting involve?

Preparation depends on the surface and its condition. It can include cleaning, removing loose paint, filling and sanding defects, sealing gaps, treating rust and priming bare areas. Render and timber repairs are identified in the scope before protective finishes are applied.

Do you offer heritage-style windows and double glazing?

Sandvik offers heritage-style timber replacements, steel-window restoration and modern options including uPVC and double glazing. Suitability depends on the building, existing profiles and project requirements; the proposed materials and glazing are set out in your quotation.

Which Melbourne areas do you service?

Based in Prahran, Sandvik services properties across Melbourne. Our project gallery includes work in South Yarra, Albert Park, Elwood, Prahran and St Kilda East. Send the property address and a brief description of the work to discuss your project.
