Powder coated frame restoration · Poole

Powder coated frame restoration in Poole.

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 Poole and Dorset. Painters and decorators for Poole homes, based right here in the town. Poole runs from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old town and Parkstone through to the inter war semis of Branksome and the newer estates out toward Canford Heath. Add the Sandbanks and harbourside properties that take the full force of salt air, and the local stock asks for a decorator who knows what coastal weather does to render, timber and window frames. We do interior redecoration room by room, exterior masonry and woodwork chosen for the exposure, and on site restoration of faded aluminium frames rather than ripping them out. The work is quoted in writing before anyone starts, the house is left clean at the end of each day, and we walk the finished job with you before we pack up. Being based in the town means a survey is usually arranged quickly and there is no long travel cost loaded onto the price. Tell us the rooms, the outside, or the whole house and we will come and look at the actual job.

Poole 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.

02

Specification

PPG or AkzoNobel two pack tie coat over light abrasion, matched RAL topcoat at 60-80 µm dry film thickness. Service life expectation written into the spec, not implied.

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 · Poole

What clients in Poole usually ask first.

Are you actually based in Poole?
Yes, we are based right here in Poole, so a survey is usually arranged quickly and there is no travel cost padding the quote.
Can you handle coastal weathering on our windows and render?
Yes. Salt air is hard on frames and paintwork here. We restore faded aluminium frames on site and pick exterior coatings that suit the exposure rather than a generic spec.
Do you give a written quote before starting?
Always. We visit, look at the real job and send a clear written quote with no obligation. Any extra work along the way is priced and agreed with you first.
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.
