Are you based in London?

Our base is in Poole, Dorset. In London we work for retail estate teams and main contractors, and we agree the survey and start dates for each job.

Can you work out of hours in central London?

Yes. Most of our London work is done overnight or in phases around trading hours. We price night work into the quote from the start, so it does not turn up later as an extra.

How do you handle ULEZ and the congestion charge?

We include the congestion charge and parking in the quote from the start, so they are not added later.

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.

London 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.
