Quick answer: To minimise disruption to your business, you need commercial painters and decorators in London who can isolate active work areas so that dust or paint odours don’t spread through the building. And to get a better finish, they also need to repair and prepare the surface properly before applying coatings that can withstand heavier commercial use. Capital Painter plans for both and can execute each phase of the project around your business hours.
Do you need painting and decorating work done on your commercial property in London but can’t close your premises for the duration of the job? Then you need experts who know how to do the job without getting in the way of staff or customers. Here’s how professional commercial painters and decorators in London like our team here at Capital Painter keep disruption down without compromising the finish.
We plan the work around your business
We can schedule sanding and spraying for evenings or weekends when fewer people are in the building. We can also work overnight if your property allows it.
And for larger projects, we divide the property into sections and then complete one area at a time. The goal is to keep more of the building available while we work.
We keep paint odours away from occupied areas
We take steps to stop paint fumes spreading into the areas people are using. We can bring ventilation equipment and use low-VOC paints where appropriate. We can also isolate active sections with temporary barriers.
We capture dust before it spreads
Sanding can create fine dust, so we control it at the source with dust extraction tools. We also cover nearby surfaces so that dust doesn’t settle on them. At the end of each shift, we clean the work area before handing it back.
We prepare the surface properly before we paint
It doesn’t matter if we’ve been given a tight schedule: we believe that proper preparation is non-negotiable. Before we apply a new coating, we repair damaged areas and sand back surfaces that need attention. Taking the time to fix defects before painting ultimately helps us complete the finishing stages faster. The results also look better.
We keep the project clear for everyone using the building
People need to know where they can and cannot go when decorating is happening around an active business. That’s why we use signs to direct staff or visitors away from work areas. We can also coordinate with your building manager so that our work doesn’t interfere with scheduled meetings or deliveries.
