What the programme usually includes
The specific scope depends on the survey, but a typical developer decorating programme in Fareham covers:
- Tape, joint and mist coat to new plasterboard around Fareham trading hours.
- Two-coat full-decoration to plots pre-handover across Fareham and the surrounding villages.
- Communal core, corridor and stairwell finishes matched to mix of 1980s–2000s commercial units at segensworth.
- Airless spray of plots and communal ceilings scheduled around Segensworth traffic where relevant.
- Snag and defects visits during aftercare period — familiar setup on PO14–PO17 projects.
The Fareham developers brief
Fareham briefs in the developers sector usually come from site manager, contracts manager or NHBC inspectors working across Whiteley, Portchester, Titchfield. 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 apartment block 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 developer decorating quote from Fareham rarely looks the same as one from the next postcode across.

Do you cover developers projects across Fareham?
Yes — we regularly plan developer decorating across Fareham and the PO14–PO17 area, including Portchester. A short site visit is the fastest way to price the work accurately.
How do you programme the work around site manager, contracts manager or NHBC inspector constraints?
Follow-on trades programme with clear phasing between plot and communal-area works. We agree the phasing in writing before the first visit so the site manager, contracts manager or NHBC inspector keeps control of trading hours and access.
What kind of paint or coating system do you use for a student accommodation?
Site-standard mist / two-coat emulsion on walls, acrylic eggshell on woodwork, spray application where the programme allows. 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.
