Developers & New Builds — the Worthing brief
New-build decorating from tape-and-jointing through handover for Worthing. new-build decorators in BN11–BN14 — with a spec, programme and price agreed in writing before work starts.
A practical working radius from Worthing
We work from Worthing outwards across BN11–BN14, and routinely cover Salvington, Findon Valley, Ferring, East Worthing, Broadwater on the same programme. If your property is on the edge of that footprint we will still visit — the survey is free either way.
Local context behind the specification
Worthing briefs in the developers sector usually come from site manager, contracts manager or NHBC inspectors working across Goring-by-Sea, Durrington, Salvington. Regency and early-Victorian seafront terraces along Marine Parade, inter-war semis in Broadwater and Goring, plus modern apartments at Bayside and Splashpoint. 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. Regenerating coastal town with a maturing creative-tech cluster (Platf9rm, Colonnade House) alongside long-established insurance and financial-services employers. It is the reason a developer decorating quote from Worthing rarely looks the same as one from the next postcode across.
The practical scope on site
The specific scope depends on the survey, but a typical developer decorating programme in Worthing covers:
- Communal core, corridor and stairwell finishes — familiar setup on BN11–BN14 projects.
- Airless spray of plots and communal ceilings around Worthing trading hours.
- Snag and defects visits during aftercare period across Worthing and the surrounding villages.
- Tape, joint and mist coat to new plasterboard matched to regency and early-victorian seafront terraces along marine parade.
- Two-coat full-decoration to plots pre-handover scheduled around Durrington traffic where relevant.

Practical questions, answered
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 apartment block?
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.
Do you handle Worthing access and parking?
Yes. A259 seafront congestion and Worthing station one-way loops shape our early-start deliveries; multi-storey car park access needs pre-booked permits. 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 apartment block space?
Almost always. Phased zoning, dust screens and out-of-hours starts mean the site manager, contracts manager or NHBC inspector can keep the site operating while decorating progresses.
Do you provide insurance, RAMS and compliance paperwork?
Yes. CSCS gold-card operatives, permit-to-work compliant, NHBC / Premier Guarantee finishes achieved on handover. Documents are issued before we mobilise, and a short handover pack is issued at completion.
