Process
01
Substrate walk: plasterboard, MDF, exposed steel, masonry. Designer spec reviewed. Any ambiguity flagged in writing before mobilisation. Sample finish requirement agreed and cut on the actual substrate.
02
Stack per surface: walls in Diamond Matt or Sheen 4, joinery in Quick Dry Eggshell, exposed steel in two pack epoxy or PU where the environment demands it. Sheen levels agreed against physical samples, not RAL codes on paper.
03
RAMS written for the project: dust control in occupied environments, COSHH for any solvent or two pack products, masking schedule per surface type. Issued before mobilisation.
04
Phase by surface type: masking, prep, prime, top coats, demask. Designer or PC walks the line at each phase, not just at practical completion.
05
Photo record, touch up kit, dry film record where two pack systems were used. Live snag list cleared before sign off.
Built for the people who buy decorating
We are a specialist subcontractor, not a turnkey fit out outfit. We deliver decorating, spraying, restoration and coatings under main contractors and direct estate teams.
For main contractors
Variations agreed in writing before delivery. Per-store handover record. Snag status tracked through to sign-off.
For estate + FM teams
Survey to handover without closing the unit. Powder coat restoration is specified to the surveyed substrate. Run off, masking and reopening tracked store by store.
For retail estate leads
Brand-matched paint systems against the estate spec. Progress and handover records per store. Programme moves flagged and resequenced with the site team.
Find the right route
Most visitors arrive with a sector problem before they know the coating system. These routes match the way buyers search: home and residential work, retail fit out programmes, and industrial painting or warehouse coatings.
House painting and decorating
Painting and decorating for homes across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, inside and out. Exterior work covers masonry, render and exterior woodwork, with weather and coastal exposed coatings chosen to suit the property. You get a fixed written quote before we start, with any extras agreed in writing first. We move and cover furniture, protect floors, and leave the house clean at the end of every day. Over twenty years on the tools, now bringing that finish to local homes.
Retail shop fitting decorators
Retail shop fitting decorating is not about paint alone. It is about working nights around store teams and other trades, matching brand colour exactly, absorbing late variation instructions without losing the handover date, and walking away with a signed snag list. Not a punch list left for someone else to close.
Industrial painting contractors
Industrial and warehouse scopes need the coating system specified by substrate condition, not by what is cheapest to apply. We survey the floor, the cladding, the steelwork and the roof before recommending a system, then plan MEWP access, exclusion zones and drying time sequencing around live operations.

Frequently asked
Yes. We read the schedule, query ambiguities in writing before mobilisation, sample cut on the actual substrate, and never substitute a paint without the designer's sign off.
Quick Dry Eggshell water based is our standard. Same hardness as oil, no yellowing, dry within 4 hours. Traditional oil based is available if the spec explicitly calls for it.
Yes. Pantone or RAL matched on site, sampled on the substrate and signed off before mobilisation. We carry mixing kit for minor site adjustments.
Two pack epoxy or polyurethane for industrial or high exposure environments, water based hard wearing for indoor commercial. We choose the system by exposure class.
A live snag list is maintained by the site supervisor throughout delivery and cleared before handover. Anything that emerges after handover is dealt with as a priority.
