Powder coated frame restoration · Salisbury

Powder coated frame restoration in Salisbury.

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 Salisbury and Wiltshire. Painters and decorators for homes across Salisbury and the surrounding villages. Salisbury is a cathedral city with a lot of older fabric to look after: medieval and Georgian frontages in the centre and the Cathedral Close, brick and flint cottages in the older streets, and the inter war and post war family homes spreading out through Bemerton, Harnham and Laverstock. Plenty of that stock is period property within or near the conservation area, so it rewards careful prep and a decorator who respects original features rather than painting over old work. We take on interior redecoration room by room, exterior masonry, render and timber chosen to suit the property, and on site restoration of tired aluminium window frames where the frames are sound rather than ripping them out. The work is quoted in writing before we begin, the house is dust sheeted and left clean at the end of each day, and we walk the finished job with you before we leave. We will tell you honestly at the visit if a surface needs more than a redecoration. Tell us what you would like done and we will come and look at the actual job.

Frequently asked · Salisbury

What clients in Salisbury usually ask first.

Do you work on period homes near the Cathedral Close?
Yes. We do proper prep and treat original features with care, and we flag anything that needs particular attention before we start.
Do you cover the villages around Salisbury?
Yes. We cover the city and the surrounding villages. Ask us if you are just outside and we will confirm.
Is the written quote free?
Yes. We visit, look at the actual job and send a clear written quote with no obligation. Extras along the way are 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.
