Process
01
Out of hours site visit where possible. Occupancy pattern captured, key cycle agreed with FM, alarm code coordination confirmed. Furniture move requirement assessed, priced separately if material.
02
Low VOC stack as standard (Dulux Trade Diamond Matt and Quick Dry Eggshell) so working areas reopen without odour. Brand colours sample cut on the actual substrate before mobilisation.
03
After hours method statement: alarm code coordination, security sign in/out, lone working procedure, fire route maintenance during works. Issued to FM five working days ahead of first shift.
04
Friday evening to Monday morning is the typical shift pattern. Furniture sheeted, floors protected, surfaces wiped down before staff return. Daily reset for any zone that flips back into use mid programme.
05
Photo record, paint touch up kit left with FM, debrief if a dilapidations condition report is required for the surveyor.
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 are agreed in writing and delivered without delaying handover. You get a handover record for each store.
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
We match the paint system to your brand and estate specification. You get progress and handover records for each store. If the timetable moves, we tell you early and replan 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 in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, inside and out. You get a fixed written quote before we start, and any extras are agreed in writing first. We protect your floors and furniture and leave the house clean every day.
Retail decorating
Retail decorating is about more than paint. We work nights around store teams and other trades, and we match brand colours exactly. Late variations are agreed in writing and delivered without delaying handover.
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.
