Fixing new-build paintwork in Havant within the defect period
For families moving into a new Havant home, the sensible sequence is: unpack, list the rooms that bother you, and let us repaint them in trade emulsion over one or two visits rather than chasing individual touch-ups.
The typical new-home brief here
Mix of 1960s industrial units off New Lane, Bedhampton's inter-war semis, and modern estates around West Leigh.
Audience: New-build owners and developers dealing with snagging paintwork within the two-year defect period.
Where we run snagging jobs weekly

Radiator masking vs full removal for cleaner cut-in
Common developer-defect questions
Can you repaint before we move in?
Yes — pre-move-in repaints are the cleanest and quickest option; we can be in and out in a few days on a typical three-bed. We work from Southsea and cover Hampshire, Dorset and West Sussex daily — talk to us on 023 9355 3460 or send drawings and access dates via the contact form.
Should we use scuff-resistant emulsion?
In hallways, stair walls and family living rooms it usually pays back; in bedrooms a standard trade matt is cheaper and just as easy to touch up.
Do you cover developer snag lists?
We can fold the developer's list into the repaint scope and photograph the outcome so you have evidence for the defect-period submission.
Will you protect the new flooring?
Yes — full board and sheet protection over any engineered or LVT floor, and taped cardboard on carpet edges where trade traffic runs.
