Product Information

Any rot we find on the door and the door frame is then repaired. For larger areas of damage, we splice in fresh wood. If you still have any queries regarding the use of Polytrol, please call us on 01582 592707 and we will gladly assist you. If the door is only lightly soiled, a simple wash with warm soapy water, a gentle scrub and thorough rinse might be all that is needed.

As I have said the paint has faded, the colour looks sad and the grain is showing white lines along the grain. Please advice and let me know where I can get the Polytrol colour restorer. However, we can retrofit double glazing into most timber doors without changing their look of them at all. We preserve the style but update the glass and draughtproofing technology. As you can see, the steps we take to restore your period doors do not change their style of them at all. These are heritage doors that add so much character to your property. Removing original doors takes away a lot of the charm and style of your home. Polytrol works by saturating deep into the surface of the door, not by leaving a coating, so removal of the excess Polytrol is important.

Certain styles of doors were popularised at different times throughout history. However, previous homeowners may have changed their doors to keep up with the current styles and trends, just as you are doing now.

Both of these products are available in a 100ml sample pot – we would recommend purchasing these and testing them out in a small area first. Using a brush or lint-free cloth, apply an even, generous coat of Polytrol. Leave it work for 10-20 mins and then wipe off the excess Polytrol with a new, clean lint-free cloth and leave to dry. If the first application of Polytrol was not successful and the surface has remained dry and discoloured, then you can re-apply a further coating of Polytrol. So long as the door isn’t white and has been painted the same colour each time, then Polytrol will work just fine. As you have suspected, using a wire brush will indeed leave scratch marks and Polytrol will not cover these. In fact they will probably accentuate them.French doors have such an iconic style. And while there are modern uPVC replacements, nothing is going to do your home’s style more justice than the original doors. Firstly, prepare the door. Remove any dirt, grease, grime or mildew from it. If there is any wax or polishes on the door, you will also need to remove this.
