Frequently asked · Reading

What clients in Reading usually ask first.

Can you decorate occupied office floors?
Yes. Thames Valley work is mostly live: phased floor-by-floor, low-odour systems, and evening or weekend cuts so staff keep working around us.
Do you spray on site?
Yes. On-site spraying gives a factory-grade finish to partitions, doors and joinery without removing them, contained and masked for an occupied building.
How far do you cover from Reading?
The whole Thames Valley: Bracknell, Slough, Maidenhead, Newbury and the M4 parks between Reading and London.
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.
Can you work out-of-hours?
Yes. Night shifts, early starts and phased shifts are built into how we deliver around live trading. Programme is agreed before mobilisation, not improvised on site.
Do you produce RAMS?
A project-specific RAMS pack ships before mobilisation, with COSHH assessments for every product. PC sign-off is required before works start.
What accreditations do you hold?
CHAS and CITB Site Safety Plus. Dulux Academy trained. NEBOSH and SMSTS held in-house. Certificates available on request.
How do you cost variations?
Variations are priced as we go, agreed in writing before delivery, and shown line-item on the application for payment.
