Westminster Painters & Decorators
Building use
The way a building is used shapes the decorating brief.
Discuss your projectPublic-sector offices
For an office enquiry, state the procurement route and access requirements before discussing a start date.
ExplorePrivate offices
Office decoration starts with a usable room schedule. Note areas that must remain open, equipment that needs protection and any fixed meeting dates.
ExploreDiplomatic premises
For premises with controlled access, outline the entry process and restrictions at the enquiry stage. Any security or appointment requirements must be agreed separately.
ExploreMansion blocks & portered buildings
Shared entrances and residential routes need a specification that residents and building management can understand.
ExploreApartments & townhouses
A residential brief should describe the surfaces, existing details and how the home will be used while decoration is under way.
ExploreListed buildings
Before changing historic finishes, check the status of the building and seek advice on the proposed work. A surface that looks straightforward can contain earlier decoration.
ExploreSchools & halls
An enquiry should set out occupancy, access controls and the periods when rooms can be taken out of use.
ExploreHotels & hospitality
Guest areas need a defined sequence and clear arrangements for taking rooms out of service. Discuss the finish and handover standard alongside the working hours.
ExploreShops & restaurants
Plan decoration around the fittings, trading pattern and intended reopening date. Any work outside trading hours needs to be agreed for the premises.
ExploreBlock & facilities managers
A clear schedule makes it easier to compare decorating proposals. Identify the property, the surfaces and the preparation expected in each area.
