Coating systems

Washable, hygiene-focused wall finishes across Hampshire

Cleanable does not mean glossy white everywhere. In Hampshire premises we specify smooth, wipeable finishes that still look like a room people want to be in.

Kitchens, cafés, salons, clinics and care premises with cleaning regimes and inspection expectations.

Hygiene-focused washable wall finishes carried out by Dynamic Decorating across Hampshire

What the system is

Washable, wipe-clean coatings give a smooth, non-absorbent film that tolerates routine cleaning. They are not a substitute for hygienic sheet cladding in splash zones. We specify coatings for wall areas outside direct splash and recommend cladding where it is genuinely needed rather than overselling paint.

Preparation this system depends on

  • Substrate made smooth — cleanable finishes show every defect
  • Existing surfaces degreased before coating
  • Cleaning products and frequency discussed before specifying
  • Splash zones identified and excluded from coating where appropriate
  • Junctions and sealant lines renewed rather than painted over
  • Programme fitted to closed hours in trading premises

Where it is usually specified

  • Café and restaurant back-of-house walls
  • Salon and treatment room walls
  • Care home service areas and staff spaces
  • Clinic and consulting-room walls outside splash zones
  • Food preparation ancillary and store rooms
  • Staff welfare, changing and WC areas

Trade-offs worth knowing before you commit

  • Direct splash zones need cladding, not paint
  • Strong sanitisers shorten the life of any coating
  • Smooth substrate preparation is what makes a surface truly wipeable
  • Trading hours usually dictate an out-of-hours programme
  • Colour choice affects how visible routine marking becomes

Questions we get about washable wall finishes

Can paint be used in our Hampshire kitchen?

Outside direct splash zones, yes — a smooth washable system works well. Immediately behind cooking and wash areas, hygienic cladding is the right specification.

Will it survive daily sanitiser?

The systems we specify are chosen with your actual cleaning products in mind. Tell us what the team uses and we will match the finish to it.

Do you work outside opening hours in the Portsmouth and Southampton area?

Routinely. Most food and salon premises around Hampshire are decorated overnight or on closed days.

How smooth does the wall need to be?

Very. Wipeable finishes highlight every dent and ripple, so the preparation stage is where most of the labour goes.

Can you match a brand colour scheme?

Yes. We sample on site so the colour reads correctly under your lighting before the full application.

Is this suitable for care settings near Portsmouth?

For general and service areas, yes. Clinical splash zones and specialist areas should follow their own specification.

Tell us about the premises in Hampshire and the products your team cleans with, and we will specify accordingly.

Washable finishes in Hampshire work well outside splash zones and need a genuinely smooth substrate.
