New-build decoration of 115 apartments at Belmont Street, London, for Vistry Countryside — commercial painting and decorating of living spaces.
We decorated 115 new-build apartments at Belmont Street for Vistry Countryside, finishing the living spaces so they could be handed over.
Decorating 115 new-build living spaces is commercial painting and decorating on a contractor programme — work we deliver across London and the South East.
We were appointed by Vistry Countryside to decorate 115 apartments on a new-build scheme at Belmont Street. The package was the interior decoration of those living spaces — the finishing work that turns a constructed flat into a residence that can be handed over.
One hundred and fifteen apartments is large enough that the finish has to be organised as a programme, and small enough that every apartment still has to be walked. The test is the same as on any new-build residential package: one specification, applied consistently, closed out apartment by apartment, so Vistry Countryside can hand over living spaces rather than a list of outstanding decoration.
We came in as the decorating contractor at the end of the build. Other trades set the condition of the interiors. Our job was to decorate what was in front of us, to the specified finish, and to leave each apartment ready as a living space. We did not add work that was not in the appointment. We decorated 115 apartments, and we finished them for handover.
Belmont Street was a new-build interior package on a live construction programme. The apartments were not occupied. The pressure was the programme and the standard: 115 living spaces that had to look like they belonged to the same scheme when they were walked at handover.
We sequenced the work apartment by apartment, following the readiness of the interiors rather than painting around trades who were still in the space. A living space is ready to decorate when the substrate is ready. It is finished when it can be handed over. That sounds simple, and it is the whole discipline of new-build decoration. Skip it and you decorate the same apartment twice; hold to it and the count of 115 starts to mean 115 completed homes.
Vistry Countryside needed apartments that would stand a handover inspection. We built the package around that. Coverage had to be even. Edges had to be clean. Making-good had to be done before the finish coat, not hoped away after. Where an apartment was not ready, it stayed on the list until it was. That is how you keep a residential new-build from generating a second decorating visit after the contractor thought the interiors were closed.
The people who move into these apartments will not know our name. They will know whether the living space looks finished. That is the standard we decorate to on a scheme like Belmont Street: not a sample flat that photographs well, but 115 apartments that can be handed over as homes. We held that line for Vistry Countryside, and we held it without dressing the job up as work we were not appointed to do.
This is straightforward new-build decoration at residential scale. It is also the work we are set up for — a contractor package, a defined count of apartments, and a handover that only happens when the living spaces are actually finished.
This is straightforward new-build decoration at residential scale for Vistry Countryside at Belmont Street. That is the job.
