Process
01
Sample store walk with the estate manager. Brand spec captured (sheen level, RAL, finish to BoH vs shopfloor). KPI agreed (m² per shift, reopen ready time). Programme overlay with shopfit and M&E trades.
02
Paint stack matched to the brand, per area. Typically Dulux Trade Diamond Matt to walls, Eggshell to joinery, Floor Coatings to BoH. Variations captured in the programme, not flagged as surprises on the night.
03
Per store RAMS: masking schedule, dust curtain plan, fire route maintenance during night works, lone working procedure. Issued to PC five working days before mobilisation.
04
Rolling night shift delivery. Reopen ready by trading start each morning. Daily progress photo log to estates manager. Slippage flagged before it hits the programme.
05
Per store handover sheet with KPI line, photo record, and a documented handover at the end of every phase. Weekly KPI roll up to estates manager.

Case study
Kings Mall, London W6 · Retail
A six week decorating programme inside a fully live Primark store at Kings Mall, Hammersmith, delivered under Uplands Retail with no shutdown window. Nine client approved variations were agreed in writing mid programme and delivered without delaying practical completion.
This case study supports searches for live site commercial decorating, retail refurbishment, spraying on site and aluminium frame restoration by showing the kind of programme, access and handover constraints A Star Decorators handles for national estate clients.
Read project →Built for the people who buy decorating
We are a specialist subcontractor, not a turnkey fit out outfit. We deliver decorating, spraying, restoration and coatings under main contractors and direct estate teams.
For main contractors
Variations priced ahead of the request. Per store handover record. Handover with every snag closed. We run the way you run.
For estate + FM teams
Survey to handover without closing the unit. Powder coat restoration with a 5-7 year service life. Run off, masking and reopening tracked store by store.
For retail estate leads
Brand matched paint stacks against the estate spec. KPI reporting per store. Programme that survives shopfit slippage instead of inheriting it.
Find the right route
Most visitors arrive with a sector problem before they know the coating system. These routes match the way buyers search: home and residential work, retail fit out programmes, and industrial painting or warehouse coatings.
House painting and decorating
Painting and decorating for homes across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, inside and out. Exterior work covers masonry, render and exterior woodwork, with weather and coastal exposed coatings chosen to suit the property. You get a fixed written quote before we start, with any extras agreed in writing first. We move and cover furniture, protect floors, and leave the house clean at the end of every day. Over twenty years on the tools, now bringing that finish to local homes.
Retail shop fitting decorators
Retail shop fitting decorating is not about paint alone. It is about working nights around store teams and other trades, matching brand colour exactly, absorbing late variation instructions without losing the handover date, and walking away with a signed snag list. Not a punch list left for someone else to close.
Industrial painting contractors
Industrial and warehouse scopes need the coating system specified by substrate condition, not by what is cheapest to apply. We survey the floor, the cladding, the steelwork and the roof before recommending a system, then plan MEWP access, exclusion zones and drying time sequencing around live operations.

Frequently asked
Depends on geography and scope. Most rolling programmes run multiple stores per week. Capacity confirmed at brief stage.
Yes. That's the operating model. Programme is agreed and locked before mobilisation.
Yes. Each store gets a handover record and a KPI line. The estates manager has visibility before the next day's trading starts.
No. Night works are built into the cost model. We don't add a surcharge after the fact.
We've delivered from convenience store format up to large supermarket. Bigger stores require more resource, not a different process.
