A block is not one job, it is many overlapping ones — corridors, stairwells, individual flats and external elevations, all shared by residents who need to keep using the building throughout. The sequence has to protect access as much as it protects the finish.
Corridors stay usable but may be wet-painted in sections, with a clear dry route always maintained. We do not close a floor completely without warning.
Largely by where access equipment is positioned and by which elevation is most exposed and therefore highest priority.
Yes, through the managing agent, so schedules do not clash and finished work is not damaged by trades following behind us.
Internally, we generally work up or down the building one floor at a time, so residents always know which level is affected on any given day and which stairwell route is clear. Lift lobbies are treated as their own zone because everyone passes through them.
Scaffold or MEWP position dictates the order of external work far more than preference does. We sequence elevations to match where access is standing, and move to the next face only once the current one is complete and inspected.
On larger blocks other contractors may be on site at the same time. We agree a shared programme with the managing agent so decorating does not undo work that has just been completed by another trade, and residents are given notice before their floor is affected.
Send us the block layout and access constraints and we will draft a floor-by-floor sequence for review.
A block sequence is built around access and resident routes first, and the paint schedule second.
