Reading programme

How we run office decorating schemes locally.

01

Survey

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

Specification

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

RAMS

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

Delivery

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

Handover

Photo record, paint touch up kit left with FM, debrief if a dilapidations condition report is required for the surveyor.

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. Spraying on site 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 the office stay open during the works?
Usually yes. We work evenings, weekends and over closure periods. Some larger scopes need zone by zone delivery rather than full out of hours. Agreed at survey.
Will the paint smell on Monday morning?
No. Standard spec is low VOC water based. Walls are touch dry within 30 minutes and recoatable within 2-4 hours. Odour free well before working hours.
Can you handle lease dilapidations?
Yes. Pre paint condition report, repaint to lease standard, photo handover for the surveyor. Common scope for both move out and move in alike.
Do you move furniture?
Light furniture is sheeted and shifted within the room as standard. Significant moves are priced separately or coordinated with a removals partner.
What if we have brand or designer colour specs?
RAL- or Pantone matched on site, sampled on the actual substrate before mobilisation. Brand guidelines packs accepted as the specification input.
