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.

Can you work to a designer's finish schedule?

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.

What about joinery specified in oil-based finish?

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.

Can you do bespoke colour matching?

Yes. Pantone or RAL matched on site, sampled on the substrate and signed off before mobilisation. We carry mixing kit for minor site adjustments.

How do you specify exposed steel?

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.

What's the snagging process?

A live snag list is maintained by the site supervisor throughout delivery. Anything raised at sign-off is closed within 48 hours of handover.

Why Reading

Why choose us for interior decorating in Reading and Thames Valley.

Track record

Joinery, exposed steel, plaster and masonry handled on the same scope. One decorator, one handover
Designer-spec literate. We read the schedule, flag ambiguities in writing and never substitute a paint without sign-off
Two-pack epoxy and polyurethane capability where substrate or environmental exposure demands it

Right fit when

The finish needs to read as designed, not just painted. Sheen consistency and edge definition matter.
Multiple surface types share the space (drywall, MDF joinery, exposed steel, masonry) and need coordinated system selection.
The PC needs a decorator that survives QS scrutiny on the final inspection, not just the practical completion walk.

Reading programme

How we run interior decorating schemes locally.

01 · Survey
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 · Specification
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
Project-specific RAMS: dust control in occupied environments, COSHH for any solvent or two-pack products, masking schedule per surface type. Issued before mobilisation.
04 · Delivery
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 · Handover
Photo record, touch-up kit, dry-film record where two-pack systems were used. Live snag list closed within 48 hours of sign-off.
