Commercial Decorating

Offices, meeting rooms and receptions, retail units and customer-facing spaces, corridors, stairwells and communal areas, and back-of-house and staff areas, across Surrey and south-west London.

Yes, and that is the normal approach. The sequence is planned before anything else: which areas, in what order, and what has to stay open throughout. Each area is protected, decorated and handed back before the next one starts.

It costs more in time, because protection goes down and comes back up for each phase and there is more setting up and clearing away. It is usually still the right call for a working premises, and the quote reflects it rather than hiding it.

Keys, alarm codes, site contacts and any induction requirements are agreed in writing before the first day, so nobody is stood waiting at the door on a morning that was supposed to be productive.

Washable, hard-wearing finishes anywhere there is real hand contact: corridors, doors, frames, stairwells and reception. A standard domestic matt looks fine on handover day and then marks permanently the first time someone scuffs a trolley along it.

Paint is touch dry long before it is hard. A wall can take light use quickly, but a door or a frame that gets handled constantly wants longer before it is back in full service. That hardening time is built into the phasing rather than discovered on the day.

Yes. Floors, furniture, screens, cabling and stock are protected before work starts in each area and re-protected at the end of every phase, since an area handed back mid-job still has to function.

Yes, for adhesion in particular. Commercial spaces are often several repaints deep already, and if an earlier coat is failing then anything applied over it comes away with it. Better to find that on the survey than after two phases are finished.

Yes, from a reference you supply. The specification is then kept consistent across every phase, so an area decorated in month three still matches one done in month one.

Yes. RS Spray Decor undertakes specialist coating work, including coatings for plant and industrial equipment, specified for the surface and the wear it will actually see.

Yes, area by area, with the sequence, the timing and the specification set out before anything starts, rather than a single figure with the detail left to be worked out on site.

It depends on the scope and on what is already booked in. RS Spray Decor is a one-person business, so larger phased jobs need planning further ahead than a single room. Getting in touch early gives the most flexibility on dates.

Richie Crathern. The same person surveys the premises, quotes the work and carries it out, which keeps site arrangements simple and means the person you agreed the plan with is the person on site.

Yes. Documentation is available on request before work starts.
