How Do You Get Commercial Premises Ready For Business?

Whether you’ve just signed a new lease or have bought a property from which to run your business, chances are you’re going to want to be up and running as soon as possible. 

After all, you will be paying for the space regardless of whether you have clients or customers coming through your doors, especially if you’re leasing a premises rather than buying one outright. 

According to Strutt & Parker, a business fit-out project can take anywhere from eight to 14 weeks, depending on the level of work required to get your new space ready for business. That is a long time to be waiting before you can welcome your first customers. 

What’s more, most small businesses are unlikely to make a profit in their first year of operation. If you are already established and are moving to a new location, you are likely in a stronger financial position. 

However, if you are relocating, rather than starting from scratch, you may need to pay for two premises for a period of time while you get your new location ready and then make the transition.

Bearing all of this in mind, you are likely looking for ways in which to speed up getting your new premises ready to go. 

Spray painting: a quick and efficient option

When it comes to decor, you need your premises to be recognisable to customers and to align with your company’s branding. Repainting both inside and out will likely be essential, but that can take time. 

This is where spray painters can be invaluable to help get your premises ready to go sooner rather than later. Commercial spray painting projects can not only be one of the quickest ways to get a property ready to open, but also one of the most cost-effective. 

We can respray a range of surfaces, including shopfronts, cladding systems, UPVC doors and even walls and ceilings in commercial premises. Spray painting is quick and efficient to carry out when done by professionals. 

This means that your premises could be completely decorated and ready to go far more quickly than if you hire traditional decorators. What’s more, we can respray cabinet doors in addition to other parts of your building, ensuring that your brand has continuity throughout. 

As a result, you’ll only be paying for the respray, rather than having to find money to cover the cost of replacing cupboards or other units within your premises. 

And, as we’ve mentioned, respraying is much quicker than other methods of painting. All of which adds up to less downtime for your business, usually with a lower financial outlay too. 

The amount commercial spray painting projects cost depends on how many items or areas you need respraying, as well as the nature of those items (i.e. are they doors, cladding, walls, ceilings or other fixtures?).

Other elements to factor in are whether any repair work needs to be carried out in addition to the respray, and how accessible the areas to be painted are. As soon as you need scaffolding, for instance, costs will increase.
