Why the schools sector picks us in Andover

  • Local team — same-day site visits across SP10–SP11.
  • Modern-estate residential redecoration across Picket Twenty.

Why schools briefs in Andover differ

Andover briefs in the schools sector usually come from site manager, business manager or MAT estates leads working across Goodworth Clatford, Picket Twenty, Whitchurch. Large-format distribution sheds on Walworth and East Portway, post-war estate housing across town, and modern developments at Picket Twenty and Augusta Park. That mix shapes the substrate — plaster ages, joinery styles and access windows all differ between a SEND setting on a busy trading street and one tucked into a side road. Logistics-heavy economy — Twinings, Le Creuset and Stannah are anchors — supported by a growing services sector around the High Street. It is the reason a school decorating quote from Andover rarely looks the same as one from the next postcode across.

On a primary school in Andover we also factor in distribution-shed clear heights (often 10–15 m) push us to mewp-based spray work over scaffold where possible. Systems are written down in a short spec sheet — product, coats, coverage and recoat window — so the site team and the client agree the finish before the first tin is opened.
