Are you based in London?

Our base is in Poole, Dorset. In London we work for retail estate teams and main contractors, and we agree the survey and start dates for each job.

Can you work out of hours in central London?

Yes. Most of our London work is done overnight or in phases around trading hours. We price night work into the quote from the start, so it does not turn up later as an extra.

How do you handle ULEZ and the congestion charge?

We include the congestion charge and parking in the quote from the start, so they are not added later.

How do you control overspray?

Full polythene masking, dust curtains where airflow allows, and extraction where the site permits. We sample cut before full coverage so the finish is agreed before scale begins.

How fast does it dry?

Most water based finishes are touch dry within 30 minutes and recoatable within 2-4 hours. Solvent systems need longer and we plan the shift pattern around them.

Can you spray at height?

Yes. Mast lifts, scissor lifts and scaffold are standard. Access method is confirmed at survey.

Will glazing be protected?

Glazing, gaskets and surrounding fixtures are masked before primer. Glass is checked at demask before handover.

Can you work during trading hours?

Often yes, with the right extraction and shift pattern. Some sites need overnight delivery. We agree the approach at survey, not on the morning of mobilisation.

Spraying on site · London

On-site commercial spraying in London.

A factory grade spray finish, done on site without taking anything out. HVLP for control on the detail and edges, airless for the big repetitive runs. Full polythene masking and live site extraction so the rest of the building keeps working. Delivered across London and Greater London. We decorate shops and offices across London while they stay open. Most of our London jobs are done at night or in phases, for retail estate teams and main contractors. We also spray on site and restore faded shopfronts. Our London work includes Primark Hammersmith.
