Do you handle heritage and conservation area facades?

Yes. For listed buildings and shopfronts in conservation areas, we use gentle methods such as DOFF steam cleaning, not pressure washing. Our specialist partner carries out the DOFF work inside the A Star package, under our RAMS.

How quickly can you survey in Bristol?

Bristol and the M4 corridor are a regular run from our Dorset base. We confirm the survey date against the live brief and access needs.

Can you work around shop opening hours?

Yes. We plan shop work around opening hours, and we work overnight where the shopping centre asks for it.

How many stores can you run concurrently?

Depends on geography and scope. Most rolling programmes run multiple stores per week. Capacity confirmed at brief stage.

Can you work to a national handover date?

Yes. That's the operating model. Programme is agreed and locked before mobilisation.

Do you report per store?

Yes. Each store gets a handover record and a progress summary.

How do you handle variations?

Late variations are agreed in writing and delivered without delaying handover. Each one shows as its own line on our payment application.

What's the limit on store size?

We've delivered from convenience store format up to large supermarket. Bigger stores require more resource, not a different process.

Bristol programme

How we run retail refurbishment schemes locally.

Survey

We walk a sample store with the estate manager. We note the brand spec, including colours, sheen levels and the finish for back of house and the shop floor. We agree what we will measure each shift, such as area painted and the time the store is ready to reopen. We fit our timetable around the shopfitters and the mechanical and electrical trades.

Specification

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.

RAMS

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.

Delivery

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.

Handover

Each store gets a handover sheet and a photo record, with a written handover at the end of every phase.
