New-build decoration of 238 apartments at Hershall Street

Hershall Street new-build apartment development exterior, London
PROJECT OVERVIEW

New-build decoration of 238 apartments at Hershall Street, London, for Click Properties — commercial painting and decorating of handover interiors.

We decorated 238 new-build apartments at Hershall Street for Click Properties, finishing the residences so they could be handed over.

Two hundred and thirty-eight apartments is commercial painting and decorating at residential volume — the same handover work we take across London and the South East.

The project

We were appointed by Click Properties to decorate 238 apartments on a new-build scheme at Hershall Street. The package was the interior decoration of those residences: the finishing trade through the flats before handover.

Two hundred and thirty-eight apartments is a volume job, and volume is only useful if the last flat looks like the first. Repeatability is the test. The same specification has to land the same way across the block, snags have to be closed as you go, and the contractor has to be able to hand over residences rather than a decorating site that still needs another pass. That is what we were there to deliver.

New-build apartment decoration sits at the end of a long chain of trades. Other packages set the condition of the interiors. Our work starts when those interiors are ready to take a finish and ends when a residence can be walked as a finished home. We do not invent extra scope around that. We decorate the apartments, we keep them consistent, and we leave them ready for handover.

What we did

  • New-build interior decoration of 238 apartments
  • Finishing residences for handover
  • Works delivered for Click Properties at Hershall Street

Working on this site

Hershall Street was a new-build apartment package. The site was a construction programme, not an occupied block. The constraint was sequence and volume: 238 interiors to finish to one standard, on a programme set by Click Properties and the trades ahead of us.

On a scheme of this size the risk is drift. One part of the scheme gets ahead, another waits on making-good, and the finish starts to vary apartment by apartment. We worked the apartments as repeatable units. A flat was prepared, decorated and closed out as a residence, not left as a half-finished shell while the gang moved on. That is how you protect the specification when the count is in the hundreds.

Handover on new-build apartments is unforgiving. A resident, a selling agent or a clerk of works will walk the same rooms we walked, and they will see every miss. We treated inspection as part of the work, not as a surprise at the end. Surfaces were finished to the specified standard, edges were kept clean, and we returned to apartments that were not ready rather than arguing they were close enough. Volume does not excuse a short finish.

We also stayed inside the facts of this appointment. This was decoration of 238 apartments for handover — not a fit-out of communal areas we were not appointed to, and not a refurbishment of homes already lived in. The job is the residences. Getting 238 of them across the line, looking like they belong to the same building, is the whole of the work.

Click Properties appointed us to finish those apartments. We ran the package as a decorating contractor who understands that a new-build programme only releases homes when the last trade is genuinely finished. That is the standard we held at Hershall Street.
