Can you clean college and heritage stone safely?

Yes. DOFF steam at low pressure removes soiling without harming the stone. Our specialist partner carries out the DOFF work inside the A Star package, under our RAMS, with a test area first and any conservation conditions followed.

Do you work in Oxford's pedestrian centre?

Yes. Access, deliveries and out of hours working are planned around the centre's restrictions and agreed before we mobilise.

How far do you cover around Oxford?

Oxford city plus Bicester, Abingdon, Witney and the business parks along the A34 and M40 corridor.

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.

Oxford 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

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
