Practical questions, answered
How do you programme the work around store manager, retail area manager or shopfitter constraints?
Overnight and pre-open windows to protect trading hours; weekend closes for full refits. We agree the phasing in writing before the first visit so the store manager, retail area manager or shopfitter keeps control of trading hours and access.
What kind of paint or coating system do you use for a high-street unit?
Durable satin and acrylic gloss on shopfronts; scrubbable water-based systems inside so day-to-day cleaning does not burnish the finish. 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 Hayling Island access and parking?
Yes. Salt-laden air and high UV exposure on south-facing elevations push us to two-coat trade systems on every exterior. 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 high-street unit space?
Almost always. Phased zoning, dust screens and out-of-hours starts mean the store manager, retail area manager or shopfitter can keep the site operating while decorating progresses.
Do you provide insurance, RAMS and compliance paperwork?
Yes. Insured for high-street working, pavement licences arranged where required, tidy overnight closes. Documents are issued before we mobilise, and a short handover pack is issued at completion.
