Are you local to Bournemouth and Poole?

Yes. Our base is in Poole, a short drive away. We can usually arrange a survey quickly, anywhere in Dorset and the BH postcodes.

Do you work on hotels and other hospitality buildings?

Yes. We decorate and respray their frontages around guests and opening hours.

Can you restore weathered seafront shopfronts?

Yes. Powder coated frame restoration recovers faded, salt exposed aluminium to a matched finish on site, without reglazing or replacement.

How long will the finish last?

It depends on the existing powder coat, orientation, exposure, preparation and the selected system. We inspect and adhesion-test the frame first, then assess the selected specification against the manufacturer's product information.

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.
