Quick answers
What does a ground-floor shop or office with damp walls and a worn floor need to look clean and ready for use?
In ground-floor shops and offices, damp along the base of the walls is treated by scraping back loose material, repairing and repainting, while a worn floor can be washed and coated with hard-wearing floor paint.
Ground-floor shops and offices that have stood empty often suffer from damp and peeling paint along the bottom of the walls, together with stained, worn floors. To let or open the premises again, a clean, thorough turnaround is needed.
In this ground-floor shop, the lower walls had dark damp stains and flaking paint. The damaged areas were scraped back to sound plaster, repaired and painted white up to the shopfront. The old floor was then scrubbed clean and finished with a grey floor coating, transforming the unit.
In multi-room offices with glass partitions, once filling and repairs are complete, combining bright neutral walls with selected colour accents on feature walls or doors gives the workspace a fresh, professional look.
