Process
01
Roof walk with moisture meter readings across the substrate, substrate type confirmation (felt, single ply, asphalt, metal profile), condition record and photo log. Access and edge protection requirement assessed.
02
TOR system selected to match the substrate type and condition. Primer and topcoat rates follow the manufacturer's data sheet, with the application weather window recorded.
03
RAMS written for the project including edge protection method, MEWP or scaffold access plan, weather window restrictions, lone working procedure for roof access, and COSHH.
04
Clean substrate, treat any standing water areas, apply primer at specified rate, apply TOR topcoat in system defined passes. No application outside the temperature or humidity window.
05
Manufacturer paperwork where applicable, plus the as-applied record (product batch, application rates and weather conditions) and before/after photographs.
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.
01
Stores stay open. Surveys, masking and run off planned around foot traffic.
02
Night programmes on retail and hospitality estates. Clean before doors open.
03
Rolling store programmes sequenced against the main contractor plan.
04
Based in Poole, Dorset. Our crews travel to sites across the UK.

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
That depends on the surveyed substrate and the exact manufacturer system. We do not publish a blanket term; availability is assessed after survey against the selected specification.
Felt, single ply, asphalt and metal profile are all coatable subject to survey. We confirm suitability and moisture readings before committing to a spec.
Edge protection, MEWP or scaffold, confirmed at survey based on roof height and parapet condition. Set out in full in the RAMS pack before mobilisation.
Most systems are weather resistant within hours and fully cured within a week. We plan around the forecast. Application won't happen outside the temperature or dew point window.
Yes, within the system's temperature range. Some systems need minimum 5°C and rising; we won't apply outside the manufacturer's spec regardless of programme pressure.

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.
