07 — Our approach
How we'll deliver this
01
Resident communication
Letter to every flat prior to works. Notice boards throughout communal areas with clear stage dates.
02
Top-down sequencing
Works start at 4th floor and move downward — reducing damage risk and limiting disruption to residents below.
03
Protection throughout
All existing floors covered with dust sheets and hard-board. Clean and tidy at all times throughout.
04
Concurrent prep phases
While decorating upper floors, a second team carries out preparation and repairs on lower floors simultaneously.
05
Carpets after decorating
All carpets laid only after decorating is fully complete building-wide. Any scuffs touched up before handover.
06
Staged tile installation
Ground floor split in two halves. Residents retain access via untiled half during each adhesive cure period.
08 — Site logistics
Skip hire & parking arrangements
For a project of this scale, waste management and parking for the team need to be agreed in advance.
🗑️ Skip Hire
Client to arrange
An 8–12 yard skip is required on site for the duration. If placed on a public highway, a council skip permit will be needed. If a skip cannot be provided, a waste removal service can be quoted separately.
🚐 Parking
Client to assist
2–3 vehicles on site daily. Reasonable parking provision required — reserved bays, nearby car park or confirmed street parking. If in a CPZ, visitor permits must be arranged in advance. Any PCNs due to lack of provision will be passed on.
♻️ Carpet Removal
Included in price
Removal and responsible recycling of all existing carpet is included within the carpet supply and fitting price. General decorator waste consolidated into the client-provided skip daily. Site left clean and tidy throughout.
ℹ️
Please confirm prior to start: Skip placement, parking provision and any required permits must be confirmed in writing at least 5 working days before the start date. Failure to have these in place may delay the programme and affect the agreed completion date.
09 — Site note: wall-mounted signage
Fire exit signs & wall notices
As part of the preparation and decorating process, all wall-mounted fire exit signs, directional notices and any other fixtures attached to communal walls will be carefully removed prior to decorating and set aside. Walls will be made good and decorated behind all removed items.
✓
Included in core works
Removal & Temporary Storage
All existing signs carefully removed, walls prepared and decorated behind. Existing signage set aside and available to reinstall if required.
📦
Client to supply
Premium Replacement Signage
If you wish to upgrade to premium signage — brushed metal fire exit plates, engraved plaques etc — please supply these directly. We will fit them at no additional labour charge.
💬
Available on request
Full Signage Supply & Fit
If you would like us to source and supply premium replacement signage on your behalf, we can provide a separate quotation. Please request at time of accepting the proposal.
⚠️
Please note: It is the building owner's or managing agent's responsibility to ensure all fire safety signage complies with current regulations and is reinstated correctly before the building is reoccupied.
