Process
01
Cladding type (profile sheet, cassette, ACM, rainscreen), adhesion test on existing coating, substrate condition, RAL reference, access assessment (roof parapet, elevation height, MEWP reach or scaffold requirement).
02
Cleaning method first: DOFF, chemical or pressure wash, matched to the substrate. Primer and topcoat are then selected for the surveyed condition and exposure. A sample panel is agreed before full application.
03
RAMS written for the project covering cleaning run off containment, MEWP or scaffold access plan, edge protection specification, wind loading restrictions on spray application, COSHH.
04
Clean substrate, prepare any surface defects, mask glazing and penetrations, prime in passes, apply topcoat. Phased by elevation so the building stays operational throughout.
05
As-applied record (product batch, film thickness and weather conditions at application) plus a before/after photo log.
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 are agreed in writing and delivered without delaying handover. You get a handover record for each store.
For estate + FM teams
Survey to handover without closing the unit. Powder coat restoration is specified to the surveyed substrate. Run off, masking and reopening tracked store by store.
For retail estate leads
We match the paint system to your brand and estate specification. You get progress and handover records for each store. If the timetable moves, we tell you early and replan with the site team.
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 in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, inside and out. You get a fixed written quote before we start, and any extras are agreed in writing first. We protect your floors and furniture and leave the house clean every day.
Retail decorating
Retail decorating is about more than paint. We work nights around store teams and other trades, and we match brand colours exactly. Late variations are agreed in writing and delivered without delaying handover.
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.
How we deliver
Every job is director-led. You deal with one contact and one timetable, from survey to handover.

Based in Poole, Dorset. Our crews travel to sites across the UK.
05
Decorating, on site spraying, powder coat restoration and floor coatings under one PM.
06
Before and after record, sign-off notes and the specified product record.
Frequently asked
It depends on the cladding condition, exposure, preparation and selected coating system. Only manufacturer-supported performance terms for the selected specification apply.
Yes. RAL or BS colour matched on site. Where estate consistency is the goal, a single reference colour is agreed and applied across all elevations.
Often yes, with tracked MEWPs for low to mid elevations. Agreed at survey based on elevation height, edge condition and reach. Scaffold is specified where MEWPs can't safely access.
Usually yes. Cleaning is the noisiest phase; coating is relatively quiet. Phased elevation delivery means no single phase closes the whole building.
All glazing, gaskets and penetrations are masked before preparation starts and checked at demask before the elevation reopens.
Start a conversation
Where we can, we check access and the state of the surfaces before we price, so the quote matches the real job. Email drawings to office@astardecorators.com, or send photos on WhatsApp.
