Frequently asked · Southampton

What clients in Southampton usually ask first.

Do you work around live retail at WestQuay and in town?
Yes. Retail work is phased around trading, with overnight cuts where the landlord or centre requires them.
Can you handle coastal weathering on frames and facades?
Yes. Salt-laden exposure is hard on coatings; we restore powder-coated frames and recoat facades to suit the exposure, not a generic spec.
Do you cover the port and industrial estates?
Yes. Warehouse and industrial coatings around the docks and the Nursling and Totton estates are a regular part of the Hampshire programme.
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 KPI line. The estates manager has visibility before the next day's trading starts.
Is there an out-of-hours premium?
No. Night works are built into the cost model. We don't add a surcharge after the fact.
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.
