Out-of-hours hospitality decorating in Portsmouth
Fire-rating for hospitality is a live consideration. Where the intumescent coating on steel columns has been damaged, we can strip back and reapply the certified system as part of the repaint.

What we usually see at survey
A dense mix of Victorian terraces in Southsea and Eastney, post-war stock in Paulsgrove and Cosham, plus modern dockside apartments at Gunwharf and Port Solent.
Audience: Pub operators, restaurant groups and independents refreshing trading front-of-house.
Where else we work this week
Tight street parking in central PO1–PO5 — we plan loading windows around resident bays and council suspensions where needed.
