Commercial painting
Painting shops and showrooms: a fresh look that pulls customers in
Retail priorities
- Frontage that stays clean despite traffic dust
- Interior colours that flatter the products on display
- Quick work, ideally on holidays or overnight
- Shutters and signage frames that do not rust
Planning the job
- Pick a holiday or slow week; plan night work if the market allows.
- Do shutters and grills first on a dry day.
- Use quick-drying, low-smell products indoors.
- Keep the shade codes for future touch-ups.
Colour tips for shops
Neutral walls let products stand out; one brand-colour wall behind the counter adds identity. Light shades help small shops feel larger under tube lights.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Planning commercial painting around business hours
Commercial buildings lose money when they close, so the painting plan should fit the business. Survey the building first and list areas that can be done while open, such as exteriors, back areas and storerooms, and areas that need closing, such as customer floors and rooms. Use water-based, low-smell products indoors, cordon off work zones, and agree working hours with the contractor in writing. Ordering the full quantity in advance, by area and shade code, avoids delays that stretch the disruption.
What a good painting quote should include
- Areas covered, with measurements
- Surface preparation, repairs and waterproofing
- Products, shade codes and number of coats for each area
- Working hours, safety measures and clean-up
- Timeline and payment stages
