Powder coated frame restoration · Dorchester

Powder coated frame restoration in Dorchester.

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 Dorchester and Dorset. Dorchester is a county town of warm Portland and brick terraces, Victorian villas around the Borough Gardens, and the older cob and rendered cottages you find as you move out towards Poundbury and the surrounding villages. We decorate homes across all of it, from sash window repaints on a period frontage to fresh interior schemes in a Poundbury townhouse. Much of the local housing stock is solid walled and exposed to driving rain off the chalk downs, so exterior masonry and joinery need a coating system chosen for the substrate rather than a single off the shelf answer. Inside, we work room by room so the rest of the house stays liveable while we are there. Every job starts with a proper look at the property and a clear written quote, so you know the scope and the cost before anything begins. 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 every area inspected and signed off before we hand the room back to you.

Frequently asked · Dorchester

What clients in Dorchester usually ask first.

Do you cover Dorchester and the surrounding villages?

Yes. We are based on the Dorset coast and Dorchester is well inside our home patch, along with Poundbury, Charminster, Crossways and the villages out towards the downs. Surveys are usually arranged quickly.

Will you be able to work around us while we live in the house?

Yes. We decorate one area at a time, keep dust down and clear up at the end of each day, so you keep the use of your home while the work goes on around you.

How do I get a quote, and is it free?

The quote is free. We come and look at the property, talk through what you want, then send a written quote setting out the scope and the price before any work is booked in.

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.
