Office painting

Preparation and specification

Separate working areas from rooms ready for use. Meeting bookings, equipment, security procedures and the movement of staff all affect how an office can be decorated.

What to include in the brief

• Rooms and circulation routes
• Furniture and equipment protection
• Permitted working hours
• Cleaning and phased handover

Planning the work

Confirm who can authorise access and changes. Any work outside normal hours needs to be agreed for the building and the proposed programme.

Before you enquire

Share the address, photographs of the surfaces and any access restrictions. Include your preferred timing and whether the building will remain occupied. Preparation, materials and any repairs can then be discussed as a defined scope.
