Powder coated frame restoration · Chippenham

Powder coated frame restoration in Chippenham.

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 Chippenham and Wiltshire. Chippenham grew up around its old stone market town centre and the river Avon, and its housing reflects that long span, from Bath stone and rendered period properties near the centre, through Victorian terraces, to the large amount of newer family housing on the estates around Pewsham, Monkton Park and the edges towards the M4. We decorate homes across all of it. Older stone and rendered frontages need the right preparation and exterior system to handle exposure, while the modern estate housing more often calls for full interior redecoration and refreshed external woodwork. We work cleanly and one area at a time, so the rest of your home stays usable while we are on site. Every job begins with a free visit and a clear written quote, so the scope and the cost are agreed before any work starts. We carry £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability, and our painters are Dulux Academy Trained. Each job is finished under a no-snag handover policy, with every area inspected and signed off before it is handed back to you.

Chippenham programme

How we run powder coated frame restoration schemes locally.

01

Survey

Frame by frame walk. Gloss meter reading on a clean reference area, RAL identification via Pantone bridge or direct match. Adhesion test on the existing powder coat. Restoration only goes ahead if the substrate holds. If a frame needs replacing, we tell you at 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 · Chippenham

What clients in Chippenham usually ask first.

Do you cover Chippenham and the surrounding villages?
Yes. We cover Chippenham and the villages around it, including Calne, Corsham, Lacock and Melksham. Contact us and we will book in a survey.
Will you work around us while we are living at home?
Yes. We decorate one area at a time, keep dust down, protect your belongings and tidy up daily, so you keep the use of your home throughout the job.
Is the quote free, and how does it work?
It is free. We visit, take a proper look at the property, discuss the finish you want, then send a written quote with the scope and price so you can decide before anything 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.
