Care Homes & Supported Living, the Fareham brief
Low-odour redecoration around residents who cannot easily move for Fareham. supported living redecoration in PO14-PO17, with a spec, programme and price agreed in writing before work starts.
Where in Fareham we cover
We work from Fareham outwards across PO14-PO17, and routinely cover Wallington, Whiteley, Portchester, Titchfield, Segensworth on the same programme. If your property is on the edge of that footprint we will still visit, the survey is free either way.
Why care homes briefs in Fareham differ
Fareham briefs in the care homes sector usually come from registered manager, maintenance lead or group estates managers working across Park Gate, Catisfield, Wallington. Mix of 1980s-2000s commercial units at Segensworth, modern Whiteley village retail and apartments, plus Victorian terraces along West Street. That mix shapes the substrate, plaster ages, joinery styles and access windows all differ between a dementia unit on a busy trading street and one tucked into a side road. Strong commuter and business-park economy, Whiteley North/South employs thousands across tech, defence and pharma supply. It is the reason a care home decorating quote from Fareham rarely looks the same as one from the next postcode across.
From preparation through final finish

Care homes decorating FAQs, Fareham
How do you programme the work around registered manager, maintenance lead or group estates manager constraints?
Wing by wing and room by room, worked around meal times, medication rounds and residents' routines. We agree the phasing in writing before the first visit so the registered manager, maintenance lead or group estates manager keeps control of trading hours and access.
What kind of paint or coating system do you use for a residential care home?
Low-odour, low-VOC waterborne systems with fast recoat times, plus wipeable finishes at chair and trolley height where contact is constant. The exact product is confirmed in the written spec after the survey, we do not commit to a system before we have seen the substrate.
Do you handle Fareham access and parking?
Yes. Segensworth one-way system and Whiteley shared parking shape our deliveries, we book in via park management before mobilising. We factor that into the programme and, where needed, arrange parking suspensions or out-of-hours starts.
Can you fit a programme around live trading or occupied residential care home space?
Almost always. Phased zoning, dust screens and out-of-hours starts mean the registered manager, maintenance lead or group estates manager can keep the site operating while decorating progresses.
Do you provide insurance, RAMS and compliance paperwork?
Yes. RAMS per wing, DBS-checked decorators, signing in and out at reception, and no tools, tins or trailing leads left in a resident area at any point. Documents are issued before we mobilise, and a short handover pack is issued at completion.
