Powder coated frame restoration · Basingstoke

Powder coated frame restoration in Basingstoke.

Faded shopfronts, curtain walls and entrance frames recovered to a matched RAL or BS finish. Works carried out around live trading. Written service life expectation with every scheme. Delivered across Basingstoke and Hampshire. Basingstoke mixes a great deal of postwar and later housing, from the estates that grew with the town in the 1960s and 1970s through to newer family homes around Chineham, Brighton Hill and the developments off the Winchester Road. Alongside them sit the older brick cottages and period houses in the villages around the town. We decorate homes across all of it. A lot of local properties are now reaching the point where the original paintwork and exterior finishes are tired, so we handle full interior redecoration as well as exterior masonry and joinery that has weathered. We work in a way that keeps your home usable, taking one area at a time and clearing up properly as we go. Every job begins with a free visit and a written quote, so you know exactly what is included and what it will cost before we start. We carry £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability, and our painters are Dulux Academy Trained. We finish under a no-snag handover policy, with each area inspected and signed off before it is handed back to you.

Basingstoke programme

How we run powder coated frame restoration schemes locally.

01

Survey

03

RAMS

Masking method for glazing, gaskets and signage. Spray containment where the frame is on a public route. COSHH for tie coat solvents.

04

Delivery

Prepare, mask, prime, apply and demask within the same shift where access permits. Glazing checked at demask. Adjacent finishes wiped before public reopening.

05

Handover

Before/after photo record, gloss reading on completed work, written service life note. Typical expectation is 5-7 years on a sound substrate.

Frequently asked · Basingstoke

What clients in Basingstoke usually ask first.

Do you cover Basingstoke and the surrounding area?
Yes. We cover Basingstoke and the villages around it, including Chineham, Old Basing, Oakley and Overton. Get in touch and we will arrange a survey.
Can you work around the family while we are in the house?
Yes. We decorate one room or one area at a time, protect your floors and belongings, and tidy up at the end of each day so daily life can carry on.
How do I get a quote?
The quote is free. We come and look at the property, talk through what you have in mind, then send a written quote with the scope and price so you can decide before any work is booked.
How long will the finish last?
5-7 years is the typical expected service life when the specification matches the substrate. We confirm the expectation in writing per scheme.
Can you match an existing RAL?
Yes. We sample on site, send a card for sign off if needed, and apply the matched system.
Can the work happen while the unit is trading?
Yes. Most schemes are delivered phased around live trading with extended masking and overnight cuts where foot traffic requires it.
Do you protect the glazing?
Glazing, gaskets, ironmongery and signage are masked before primer goes on. The glass is checked at demask before public reopening.
What if the substrate is damaged?
We flag substrate failure at survey. If a frame needs replacing we tell you. We won't coat over a failing substrate and sign it off.
