Commercial decorating · Andover

Commercial decorators in Andover.

Decorating packages for retail refurbishments, fit outs and planned maintenance. Full RAMS with every job, finished to the brand spec, delivered while the unit keeps trading. Right now we are on Primark and Tesco stores for R.G. Carter and Morris & Spottiswood. Delivered across Andover and Hampshire. Andover is a market town with an older brick and flint core around the High Street, plenty of postwar and 1960s expansion housing that came with the town's growth, and newer family homes spreading out towards Picket Twenty and the edges of the surrounding downs. The villages of the Test Valley sit around it, with their own mix of period cottages and rendered houses. We decorate homes across the whole range. Older flint and brick frontages need careful preparation and the right exterior system, while the more modern estate housing often calls for full interior redecoration and refreshed external woodwork. Whatever the property, we work cleanly and a section at a time, so your home stays liveable while we are there. We always begin with a free visit and a clear written quote, so the scope and cost are agreed before any work starts. We carry £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability, and our painters are Dulux Academy Trained. Every job is finished under a no-snag handover policy, with each area inspected and signed off before it is handed back.

Frequently asked · Andover

What clients in Andover usually ask first.

Do you cover Andover and the Test Valley villages?

Yes. We cover Andover and the villages around it, from Charlton and Weyhill across to the Test Valley settlements. Contact us and we will book a survey.

Will you work around us while we are living at home?

Yes. We take one area at a time, keep dust down, protect your floors and furniture, and clear up daily, so you keep the use of your home throughout.

Is the quote free, and what is the process?

It is free. We visit, look at the property properly, discuss the finish you want, then send a written quote setting out the scope and the price so you can decide before anything is booked.

What is a commercial decorating contractor?

A construction subcontractor specialising in painting, decorating and surface finishing on commercial premises: retail, offices, hospitality and industrial. We typically work under a main contractor on a fit out or refurbishment programme.

How is commercial decorating different from domestic?

Programme discipline, accreditation requirements, RAMS and COSHH packs, live trading capability, certified intumescent for structural steel, and main contractor commercial workflows like payment applications, retention and variations. Different audience, different documentation.

What does a commercial decorating quote include?

Scope by trade package phase, line item pricing with units and rates, prelims as a separate line, named exclusions, dated assumptions, a validity period, and a supporting pack covering insurance, accreditations, a comparable scheme and RAMS readiness. See /insights/capability-statement for the one page proof stack and /insights/clean-quote for the quote format.

What does a commercial decorator do that a regular decorator does not?

Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), COSHH documentation per product, Working at Height compliance, CDM 2015 procedural compliance, and live site delivery around occupied premises.

What sectors do you cover?

Retail, office, education, healthcare, heritage and logistics. Most of our programme is repeat work for main contractors and retail estate teams.
