Practical commercial decorating across Poole
Poole's commercial work clusters around the Quay (hospitality and quayside offices), the Sunseeker plant and the marina retail. Each environment demands different systems — marine exposure on the quay, hygiene-tolerant systems in food-and-bev spaces.
Experience that transfers to this site
Recent Poole programmes have included Quay hospitality interiors and marina-side commercial frontages.
Comparable brief: A typical the area brief is a quayside restaurant winter refresh — full strip and prep of high-humidity walls, low-VOC two-coat emulsion to ceilings, eggshell to all joinery, completed inside a two-week closure window.

Planning around access, use and finish
Harbour-side wind exposure and salt spray favour two-pack coatings and tight weather windows on exteriors.
Quayside humidity needs anti-mould-treated primers in bar/restaurant zones
Sandbanks-area residential and commercial drives demand for ultra-discreet site etiquette
Working near Sunseeker / RNLI HQ frequently requires extra security inductions
What changes the brief locally
Quayside warehouses converted to bars and offices, post-war townhouses across Parkstone, and ultra-prime modern villas on Sandbanks Peninsula.

A clear route from survey to finish
