A Star Decorators

Commercial decorating · Winchester

Commercial decorators in Winchester.

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 Winchester and Hampshire. Painters and decorators for homes across Winchester and the surrounding villages. Winchester is a city of character housing: Georgian and Victorian townhouses around the centre and Saint Cross, flint and brick cottages in the older lanes, and the solid family homes of Fulflood, Weeke and Badger Farm. A lot of that stock is older, and some sits within the conservation area, so it rewards a decorator who does proper prep and treats original features with care rather than painting straight over old work. We take on interior redecoration room by room, exterior masonry, render and timber chosen to suit the property, and on site restoration of tired aluminium window frames where they are sound rather than replacing them. The job is quoted in writing before we start, the house is protected and left clean at the end of each day, and we walk the finished work with you before we leave. We will say plainly at the visit if a surface or a frame genuinely needs more than redecoration. Tell us what you would like done and roughly when, and we will come and look at the actual job and send a clear written quote.

Why Winchester

Why choose us for commercial decorating in Winchester and Hampshire.

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 · Winchester

What clients in Winchester usually ask first.

Do you work on period homes in the conservation area?
Yes. We work to the substrate and treat original features with care, and we flag anything that needs particular attention before starting.
How soon can you visit in Winchester?
We will arrange a visit to look at the actual job and send a clear written quote with no obligation, rather than guessing over the phone.
Do you cover the villages around Winchester?
Yes. We cover the city and the surrounding villages. Ask us if you are just outside and we will let you know.
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.
