Apartment associations and RWAs
One coordinated scope for common areas, exteriors and waterproofing.
Committees usually end up juggling separate contractors for the lobby, the exterior and the terrace, each with their own quotation and their own schedule. We survey the whole building and give you one written scope your general body can actually approve.
At a glance
How is working with an association different from painting a single flat?
The buyer, the approval process and the scope are all different. Work has to be phased so common areas stay usable, quotations need to survive a general body meeting rather than one owner's decision, and access, billing and resident communication all have to be planned around a committee, not a household. The painting itself follows the same standards either way.
Where this usually starts
What brings a committee to us.
Most associations reach out with a specific trigger, not a general plan. If one of these sounds familiar, a site walk is the fastest way to a straight answer.
The lobby and corridors look tired next to what residents pay
Common areas take the heaviest daily wear in the building and are usually the last thing anyone budgets for.
Terrace or exterior seepage is affecting more than one flat
When the source is shared infrastructure, the terrace, an external wall, a stack, it is association work, not a single owner's problem.
You need comparable quotations for a general body meeting
A quotation the committee can actually hold a second one against, itemised the same way, not just a bottom-line number.
The building exterior hasn't been touched since handover
Chalking, algae and hairline cracking on the elevations are easy to defer until they become a bigger repair.
You're tired of reacting to complaints instead of planning
A surveyed schedule replaces the pattern of only responding once something has clearly failed.

How it runs
Built around your committee's process, not just the walls.
Site walk with your committee or facility manager
We look at the common areas, the elevations and any reported seepage together, and note what your building's own constraints are.
A scope broken down by block or wing
Written so it can be phased and approved incrementally, rather than as one large figure that is hard to size against a budget.
An itemised quotation suitable for a general body meeting
Surfaces, preparation, products, coats, schedule and exclusions stated, so it can genuinely be compared against another contractor's quotation on the same terms.
A schedule you can put in front of residents
Working hours, phasing and expected disruption set out in advance, so complaints go to a known plan rather than a surprise.
Phased execution, block by block
Only one section out of use at a time, handed back before the next begins, so the building stays functional throughout.
One supervisor as your single point of contact
Your facility manager deals with one person, not a different site engineer every week.
Who's on site
One supervisor your facility manager can actually call.
Written for governance
A scope and quotation built to survive a committee meeting, not just a phone call.
Phased around the building
Block by block, so common areas stay usable and residents know what to expect.
One point of contact
A named supervisor coordinating the whole project with your facility manager.
Questions committees ask us.
Can you present the scope at a general body meeting?
We prepare a written scope and quotation clear enough to present as it stands, and we're happy to walk your committee through it beforehand so you can answer questions confidently on the day.
Do you provide multiple quotation options for comparison?
We give you one written, itemised quotation, priced from what your building actually needs rather than sold as a good-better-best tier. It's written so you can genuinely compare it against another contractor's quotation on the same terms, which is more useful than two numbers from us that both come from the same survey.
Does exterior work require access into individual flats?
Usually not, exterior painting and waterproofing are done from outside using scaffolding or rope access. Where an anchor point or netting genuinely needs a specific flat's balcony or window, we'll tell you which ones and coordinate directly with those owners.
Can billing be phased alongside the work?
Payment stages are set out in the quotation and can be aligned with the phases of work, so the association isn't carrying the full cost upfront before any of it is done.
How do you handle resident complaints about noise or disruption?
We agree working hours with the committee upfront, and give you a schedule you can circulate to residents in advance, so any complaint goes to a known plan rather than an unexplained disruption.
Start with a building walkthrough.
We survey the common areas, the exteriors and anywhere seepage has been reported, and give you a written scope you can bring to your committee. There is no charge and no obligation.
- We call you back the same day to get a picture of the property and the surfaces.
- We agree a time and come out for the free inspection.
- You get the written scope and itemised quotation.
- Nothing starts until you approve it.
