What we do

Every surface, prepped and finished properly.

From a single unit repaint to a full development handover, we bring the same standard of preparation, application and sign-off to every job.

Renovations

Refreshing tired units, common areas and full buildings — repairs, prep and a full repaint that brings a property back to its best.

View the process

Interior & exterior painting

Full surface prep, priming and topcoats in the manufacturer’s specified system — commercial blocks, homes and estates.

View the process

Waterproofing & coatings

Roofs, balconies, parapets and wet areas sealed with membrane and protective coating systems that hold up to the coast.

View the process

Decorating & finishes

Feature walls, enamel work, timber and steel finishing — the detail that lifts a space from painted to finished.

View the process

Surface repair & prep

Crack repair, filling, sanding and damp treatment done right — because the finish is only ever as good as what’s under it.

View the process

Developments & contracts

Multi-unit and phased work under main contractors, with site diaries, progress draws and formal handover certificates.

View the process

Snagging & handover

A documented snag list, retention sign-off and a workmanship guarantee — the job isn’t done until you’ve signed it off.

View the process

Damp proofing

Rising and penetrating damp diagnosed and treated at the source — barriers, sealing and breathable systems that keep walls dry and finishes lasting.

View the process

Spalling & concrete repair

Exposed and corroding rebar treated, spalled concrete cut back, primed and re-profiled — structural repair that stops the damage spreading.

View the process

Steel & aluminium fabrication

Custom steel and aluminium work — gates, balustrades, frames and structural elements — fabricated, finished and installed.

View the process

Galvanising

Hot-dip and protective galvanising for steel elements — a durable zinc coating that stands up to the coastal climate and adds real service life.

View the process

Powder coating

A hard-wearing, factory-grade finish on steel and aluminium — even colour, strong adhesion and a surface built to last far longer than paint.

View the process

Epoxy coating

A sealed, high-build epoxy system for floors and surfaces that take real punishment — chemical- and abrasion-resistant, built up in a sealer and two full topcoats.

How we work

A straight line from quote to sign-off.

No surprises, no drift. You always know what is happening on your site and what it costs.

Site visit & quote

We measure, assess the substrate and quote a clear scope — the right system for the surface, in writing.

Prep & protect

Surfaces cleaned, repaired and masked. Everything that isn’t getting painted is protected first.

Coat & inspect

Applied to the specified system and checked at each stage. Progress, variations and any delays are logged on site, the same day, by the Aurora supervisor.

Snag & hand over

We walk it with you, clear the snag list, and hand over with a guarantee you’ve signed off.

Reporting

Progress, variations and delays are recorded on site by the Aurora supervisor in our own site app, and a formatted report for each goes to you by email — daily or weekly, whichever you prefer. You see what we see, without having to ask.

Why Aurora

Contractor discipline on every job — big or small.

We run domestic work with the same systems we use on main-contractor sites: proper preparation, recorded progress, and a formal sign-off at the end.

  • Manufacturer-specified paint and coating systems, not shortcuts
  • Site diaries and progress records you can actually see
  • Bi-weekly progress draws — you pay for work as it’s completed
  • 5% snag retention held until you sign off the final list
  • Public liability insured; proof of cover on request
Renovate.
Decorate.
Elevate.

Three words on our logo — and the order we work in. Restore what is there, finish it properly, and protect the value for years.
