A Star Decorators

Commercial decorating · Poole

Commercial decorators in Poole.

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 Poole and Dorset. Painters and decorators for Poole homes, based right here in the town. Poole runs from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old town and Parkstone through to the inter war semis of Branksome and the newer estates out toward Canford Heath. Add the Sandbanks and harbourside properties that take the full force of salt air, and the local stock asks for a decorator who knows what coastal weather does to render, timber and window frames. We do interior redecoration room by room, exterior masonry and woodwork chosen for the exposure, and on site restoration of faded aluminium frames rather than ripping them out. The work is quoted in writing before anyone starts, the house is left clean at the end of each day, and we walk the finished job with you before we pack up. Being based in the town means a survey is usually arranged quickly and there is no long travel cost loaded onto the price. Tell us the rooms, the outside, or the whole house and we will come and look at the actual job.

Why Poole

Why choose us for commercial decorating in Poole and Dorset.

Track record

  • Right now we are on Primark and Tesco stores for R.G. Carter and Morris & Spottiswood. Mostly nights, always around trading
  • RAMS reads like a method statement, not a tick box. CHAS and CITB Site Safety Plus accredited, Dulux Academy trained, director led sign off
  • South of England base. Live schemes from Hammersmith to Aberdare

Right fit when

  • The site needs to keep trading through the works.
  • When the shop has to keep trading, and the decorator is the trade that gets squeezed when everyone else runs late.
  • Brand consistency across the estate matters as much as the finish itself.

Frequently asked · Poole

What clients in Poole usually ask first.

Are you actually based in Poole?
Yes, we are based right here in Poole, so a survey is usually arranged quickly and there is no travel cost padding the quote.
Can you handle coastal weathering on our windows and render?
Yes. Salt air is hard on frames and paintwork here. We restore faded aluminium frames on site and pick exterior coatings that suit the exposure rather than a generic spec.
Do you give a written quote before starting?
Always. We visit, look at the real job and send a clear written quote with no obligation. Any extra work along the way is priced and agreed with you first.
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.
