Preparation comes first
Filling, sanding, priming bare surfaces and repairing damage matter more than the topcoat. Poor preparation shows quickly in commercial spaces.
Match the finish to the area
Different parts of a building take different levels of wear.
- Offices: durable matt or washable finishes for walls
- Corridors and common parts: harder-wearing, scrubbable finishes
- Doors, frames and skirting: hard-wearing finishes for joinery
- Kitchens and toilets: moisture-resistant finishes
Keep a record
Recording colours and products used makes future touch-ups and refreshes quicker and more consistent across a building.
Common questions
How often should commercial premises be redecorated?
It depends on use and wear. High-traffic areas usually need attention more often than private offices.
