I know it’s most probably not part of your job (in the price) but I personally couldn’t leave that. It looked a lot better once cleaned, but I would have got a sharp blade and carefully cut all the caulk away. Cleaned everything up, re-caulked all the trims back to the wall neatly, then white silicone on the internal parts of the trim. Once done it will make your job look a lot neater, when you come to paint the reveals.
As always the devils in the detail when fitting windows on price and or little exsperiance or poor practice to use caulking to cover gaps we all see this alot sorting other peoples poor practice but thats what keeps us in jobs a lot of the time as always fantastically explained thank you for sharing you great exsperiance
@@PaintingandDecorating Hi, would you show how you as a professional would measure the volume of paint when decanting into a paint kettle for the likes of doors and skirts! always end up with more than i needed. thanks.
It's surprising how often you see this mess of old, blackened caulk on plastic frames...I ve not tried that cleaner, but i have had a lot of luck using Pink Stuff multisurface cleaner/degreaser and for more stubborn dirt, Pink Stuff paste, which is a very mild scourer/abrasive....

Yes we would usually do this, but on this occasion we where only asked to clean plastic best we can.. thanks.
This is exactly what I needed to know. Sister just moved into a house with black caulk around the windows. Thanks
Your welcome.
Would you use the same cleaner for removing paint from the frames? Our home's previous owner smeared paint all over the pvc frames unfortunately.
Yes this will remove old paint.. thanks
you can use a wet scotchbrite pad to remove emulsion.
Great advice as always, what make of masking tape do you use for everyday use
That's blowed my mind on chalk, I just wanna see foam for god sake.....
What type ov plastic covers do you use mate, are they the ones where masking type is pre attached to plastic?
Both types we use normal plastic on a roll and sometimes plastic with pre attached tape. we get them from the decorating shop.. thanks
You are a good man.
Cheers mate..

Thank you, yes it's the small details that make the big picture.. great to know others feel the same and like the extra mile.
Hi, would you offer this as an addition to your service or would this be part of your offer? great vid as always.
Thank you... usually things like this just get cleaned as the job progresses.

Sounds real good man. Uh huh.
I've always done the perimeter it's just common sense. Caulk for walls and timber excluding exterior and mastic silicone for plastic and ceramics.
Yep.. but some think it's white and it fills it will do.. even liquid nails.. it's all in the small detail. Thanks
I always use D srtip on all perimeters on upvc windows, caulk onto wall edge gp low modulas on inside of strip.

Where did you get your white scuttle ? Seems like they only sell black ones nowadays ?
Depends where you go... decorating shops have different gear than some DIY stores. thanks
One of the first thing I ever do is clean up pvc’s & light fittings
Yes always makes the job look mint at the end... Nothing worse than paint on fixings.. thanks
The double glazed window wasn't fitted properly, they left part of the old wooden window frame behind.
