Clive,

I have the same situation with my conservatory. I did the job successfully
by removing the opening lights and painting them separately. Then sitting
in the opening to paint the outside of the frame. Worked OK on my window as
the opening lights are quite large. Only tricky bit was getting the windows
back on. Two person job really, one to hold it and one to screw it back on!

Also don't lean back to admire the finish!

Cheers Keith

I am not great at d-i-y but I thought I would have a go at painting the
outside of the house before winter sets in. Everything is straight forward
except for a back bedroom window which sits directly above a conservatory.
Access via ladder is impossible as the conservatory is much wider than the
window. The frames are wooden I would want to rub them down and undercoat
them - so close-up access is essential.

How would professional painter tackle this? Scaffolding perhaps (I hope
not)?

Thanks,
