Process

  1. 01

    Survey

    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.

  5. 05

    Handover

    Warranty registration with manufacturer, as-applied record (product batch, application rates, weather conditions), before/after photo record.

Built for the people who buy decorating

Three audiences. One delivery model.

We are a specialist sub-contractor, not a turnkey fit-out outfit. We deliver decorating, spraying, restoration and coatings under main contractors and direct estate teams.

For main contractors

Hands on decorating. On time, every time, snags closed before handover.

Variations priced ahead of the request. Per-store handover record. AFPs delivered on the day they're due. We run the way you run.

  • Active main-contractor framework relationships
  • Variations priced ahead of the request, AFPs on the day they are due
  • Per zone handover record across multi store programmes

For estate + FM teams

Live trading stays live. Restoration before replacement.

Survey to handover without closing the unit. Powder-coat restoration with a 5-7 year service life. Run-off, masking and reopening tracked store-by-store.

  • Out-of-hours + phased delivery on rolling estate programmes
  • Photo-led handover record per store / per elevation
  • DOFF, chemical and jet-wash cleaning ahead of any coating

For retail estate leads

Frequently asked

  • What's the warranted service life?

    Depends on system and substrate condition. Typically 10, 15 or 20 years. We agree the warranty target before specification.

  • Will it work on my substrate?

    Felt, single-ply, asphalt and metal profile are all coatable subject to survey. We confirm suitability and moisture readings before committing to a spec.

  • What's the access plan?

    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.

  • How long does it take to cure?

    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.

  • Can it be applied in winter?

    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.
