"Will I need to redecorate after getting new windows?" This is one of the most common questions we hear at our showroom in Billericay.


The short answer? Probably not - and here's why.



The Reality of Window Installation 🛠️

Let's be honest - replacing windows is a big job. We are removing existing windows and replacing with our bespoke uPVC windows.


Here's the thing: when you choose Aspen, you're choosing a team that treats your home like their own.


Our installers are perfectionists (sometimes annoyingly so!) who take genuine pride in leaving your home spotless.


But in the unlikely event of any slight damage caused, our experienced installers always reinstate in preparation for decoration if required!

What Actually Happens During Installation?


Picture this: Your old windows need to come out. Sometimes they slide out like butter, other times they're hanging on for dear life.


This is where experience counts. Our team knows exactly how to remove old windows without turning your walls into Swiss cheese.


We use:

  • Protective sheets (lots of them!)
  • Special tools designed for minimal wall impact
  • Years of know-how in dealing with tricky removals
  • Techniques that protect your existing decoration


The Truth About Touch-Ups

Look, we'll be straight with you - sometimes you might need a tiny touch-up.


Usually, this happens with older properties where the original windows have been in place since shoulder pads were in fashion.


But we're talking about the odd small mark that needs a dab of paint, not redecorating your entire house.


When Might You Need to Touch Up?

  • If your old windows were particularly stubborn to remove
  • In older properties with delicate plasterwork
  • Where previous installations weren't done properly
  • If your window frame size changes significantly

But Here's the Good News✨


The vast majority of our installations (and we're talking about thousands of homes across Billericay, Essex) need zero redecorating afterwards.


Don't just take our word for it - our 4.9-star rating from 986 customers speaks volumes about our careful approach.


What Makes Us Different?

It's simple really - we care about the little things:

  • We take time to protect your walls properly
  • Our team cleans as they go (no builders' brew stains here!)
  • We use modern installation techniques that minimise disruption
  • If we spot a potential issue, we'll tell you before it becomes a problem



A Word About Our Process


Before we even touch your windows, we'll:

  • Survey the area properly
  • Point out any existing damage
  • Discuss potential challenges
  • Give honest advice about what to expect



The Bottom Line 💭


Getting new windows shouldn't mean redecorating your whole house. That's why we've spent years perfecting our installation process.


Yes, occasionally you might need a small touch-up - we'll always be upfront about that.


But with Aspen, you're choosing a team that goes above and beyond to protect your home's existing décor.


Want to see for yourself? 


Pop down to our showroom at Whitesbridge Farm Industrial Estate (by appointment, of course) and chat with our team.


We'll show you exactly how we work and why most of our customers never need to think about redecorating after we've finished.


After all, new windows should make your home look better, not create more work for you!
