What Commercial Painters Do
When commercial painters handle your project, we manage everything from survey to handover.
The Process
Site survey and planning. Surface preparation (power wash, fill, sand, prime). Professional application. Protective coatings or specialty finishes. Site cleanup.
Why Surface Prep Matters
Surface preparation is 40% of the project. This critical foundation determines durability. Proper prep = paint lasting 7-10 years. Poor prep = failure within 3-5 years.
Standards & Safety
Our commercial painters hold certifications and follow Health & Safety at Work Act, COSHH protocols (chemical handling), Building Regulations, Fire safety standards, and maintain Public liability insurance.
Application Methods
We use rollering (walls, ceilings), spraying (large spaces), or specialist techniques (fire-rated, anti-microbial, acoustic finishes).
Primrose Decor’s commercial painters manage every detail from initial survey to final handover, ensuring your Cardiff business stays operational throughout the project.
