External Painting & Decoration

Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing carry out various construction, refurbishment and maintenance contracts to Shropshire Council owned homes and associated buildings. As part of the planned maintenance programme this contract will include painting of all previously painted timber items to exterior of properties, rainwater goods, handrails and selected fencing. Cleaning down of UPVC fixings, cleaning of windows and cleaning out of guttering will also be included in the works. Some items not previously painted (such as newly installed components) may also need to be painted on this contract.

The works will primarily be to domestic dwellings including houses, bungalows, 3 storey flats and maisonettes, communal areas and associated stores, garages and Community Centres.

Contractor Requirements: Contractors who are selected to tender will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record in carrying out external painting and decoration contracts whilst maintaining excellent customer focus. Service Providers must also demonstrate previous experience of liaising with tenants who may be vulnerable and have special requirements. Contractors who are selected to Tender will be assessed on both the cost and quality aspects of the service they offer.
