Developers & New Builds — the Lymington brief
New-build decorating from tape-and-jointing through handover for Lymington. site-based painting contractor in SO41 — with a spec, programme and price agreed in writing before work starts.
Where in Lymington we cover
We work from Lymington outwards across SO41, and routinely cover Milford on Sea, Sway, Brockenhurst, Boldre, Walhampton 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 developers briefs in Lymington differ
Lymington briefs in the developers sector usually come from site manager, contracts manager or NHBC inspectors working across Walhampton, Pennington, Milford on Sea. Listed Georgian seafarers' townhouses on Quay Hill and High Street, flint cottages out toward Pennington, and modern marina-side apartments. That mix shapes the substrate — plaster ages, joinery styles and access windows all differ between a mixed-use scheme on a busy trading street and one tucked into a side road. Yachting and sailing economy — two marinas, the Wightlink ferry, and a wealthy residential base feeding strong hospitality and independent retail. It is the reason a developer decorating quote from Lymington rarely looks the same as one from the next postcode across.
From preparation through final finish
The specific scope depends on the survey, but a typical developer decorating programme in Lymington covers:

- Tape, joint and mist coat to new plasterboard matched to listed georgian seafarers' townhouses on quay hill and high street.
