Paint Analysis and Matching across Berkshire
We take a fair volume of Paint Analysis and Matching work across Berkshire, and almost none of it repeats. Around here it is Thames-side villas, Victorian terraces and dense 1980s commercial fit-out stock, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. The weather does the rest: river humidity and localised flood exposure here, and swelling and binding on ground-floor doors after flood or high water table events as the predictable result. In practice that means matching the historic colour rather than defaulting to brilliant white.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
Local factor worth flagging early: flood-zone properties benefit from raised thresholds and marine-grade fixings.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Berkshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Berkshire including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead and the surrounding villages. Flood-zone properties benefit from raised thresholds and marine-grade fixings. Because river humidity and localised flood exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
