Builders and developers
Specified once, applied consistently, sequenced with your programme.
New-construction painting has a different failure mode from a single home: the risk is inconsistency across units and painting getting in the way of the trades around it, not any one wall. We plan for both from the survey.
At a glance
How is painting for a new-construction project different from a single home?
Scale and sequencing. The same specification has to hold across every unit rather than one, moisture and cure checks matter on plaster that is often only weeks old, and the work has to slot into a live construction programme alongside other trades rather than start once everything else is finished. Snagging is cleared unit by unit against your own handover dates.
Where this usually starts
What brings a project team to us.
You need consistent finish quality across many units
The tenth flat has to look like the first one, in the same light, to the same standard.
Painting has to slot into a live fit-out programme
Electrical, flooring and false ceiling are often still moving around it, not finished before it starts.
The exterior needs finishing around a scaffolding schedule
Once scaffolding comes down, re-erecting it for touch-ups is expensive and slow.
You need a contractor who scales without losing control
More painters on site should not mean more variation in the result.
Snagging has to be cleared before each handover
Unit by unit, on a schedule tied to your possession dates, not a general site-wide pass.

How it runs
Built around your construction programme.
Programme alignment
We understand where painting sits in your construction schedule, relative to electrical, flooring, false ceiling and the trades on either side of it.
One specification, applied consistently
A single written specification, the same products and coat count in every unit, so unit twelve looks like unit one hundred and twelve.
Moisture and cure checks before painting starts
New plaster is metered, not assumed dry, on every unit, painting too early is the most common cause of early failure on a new building.
Sequenced, unit by unit or block by block
Execution that can scale up or down with your handover schedule, rather than one uncontrolled push across the whole site.
Snagging cleared ahead of each handover
Each unit walked, a list made, and touch-ups closed before that unit is considered ready to hand over.
One point of contact for your project team
A single supervisor coordinating with your project management team, not a different site engineer on every visit.
Consistency at scale
What keeps unit one hundred looking like unit one.
One specification
Written once, applied the same way in every unit, not left to each crew's judgement.
Moisture tested, not assumed
Every unit's plaster metered before priming, because painting too early is the most common failure on a new build.
Sequenced with your trades
Planned around what's still being installed, so freshly painted surfaces survive the trades that follow.
Questions project teams ask us.
Can you staff up for a large number of units?
Tell us the scale and your handover schedule at the survey, and we'll tell you honestly what we can commit to and by when, rather than promise a number we haven't tested against your actual programme.
How do you keep the finish consistent across many units?
One written specification for the whole project, the same products and coat count in every unit, and the same supervisor overseeing quality across the site rather than each crew working to its own judgement.
Can painting run alongside other trades still on site?
Where it can be sequenced safely, yes. We plan around what's still being installed so a freshly painted surface isn't damaged by the next trade coming through, and we'll say plainly where the sequence genuinely needs painting to wait.
Do you handle snagging before handover?
Yes. Each unit is walked, a list is made, and touch-ups are closed before that unit is considered ready to hand over, tied to your possession dates rather than a general site-wide pass at the end.
What about exterior work tied to a scaffolding schedule?
Tell us when scaffolding is up and when it comes down, and we sequence the exterior work to use that access window rather than needing it re-erected later for touch-ups.
Start with a programme conversation.
Tell us your schedule, the scale and where painting sits in it, and we'll tell you honestly what we can commit to. 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.
