What a committee needs from its painter
Strata work is as much about coordination as coatings. These are the things we talk through with you before a quote is final.
The scope
- Which areas and surfaces are included
- The preparation each surface needs
- Your specification, if the committee has one
Residents and access
- Dates and work areas, agreed with the manager
- How entries, paths and parking are affected
- Colour samples, if the committee wants to see them first
Staging and finish
- Whether the work is staged area by area
- How completed areas are checked with you
- What happens with touch-ups before sign-off
Preparation for high-traffic shared spaces
Shared areas take more wear than most homes, so preparation and coating choice matter more. This is what each area typically needs; your quote sets out what applies to your building.
Lobbies and foyers
Typical preparationClean, fill and sand marks and dents, then coat with a finish that can be wiped down.
Worth knowingOften painted in stages so the entry stays open.
Stairwells and corridors
Typical preparationRepair scuffs and chips, sand back worn gloss on handrails and doors.
Worth knowingAgree working hours so noise and access suit residents.
Render and exterior walls
Typical preparationClean, repair cracks and apply a suitable sealer or primer.

Typical preparationClean off dust and grime and treat failing paint.
Worth knowingCars may need moving on set days, arranged with the manager.
