A considered approach to commercial decorating in New Forest
Commercial decorating across the New Forest is mostly hospitality — heritage hotels, country pubs and the boutique retail of Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst. National Park planning rules shape every exterior brief.
Why this is familiar ground
Our Forest portfolio includes country-house hotels and several listed commercial properties in Lyndhurst.
Comparable brief: A typical Forest job is a Brockenhurst country-house hotel corridor and bedroom programme — phased floor-by-floor, low-odour trade emulsion, joinery sprayed off-site for furniture-grade finish.
How local buildings shape the work
Thatched and tile-hung period cottages, country houses and equestrian properties, plus boutique-hotel and pub stock across the National Park.
The technical route to a durable result
We default to low-VOC, water-based trade emulsions and acrylic eggshell so spaces re-open the next morning without odour complaints.
A likely brief, not a generic example

The surrounding places this crew can cover
