Project — Wetmore Road, Burton-on-Trent
Bee Sweet Occasions: a former workshop turned showroom
Red & White Group cleaned, prepared and redecorated a former workshop on Wetmore Road in Burton-on-Trent so Bee Sweet Occasions could use it as a showroom for wedding and event dressing displays. The work covered high-level steelwork cleaning, cladding degreasing, full-height painting to bare blockwork and specialist external coatings.

The situation
The unit was a former workshop affected by years of dust and neglect. Internally, bare blockwork and high-level steelwork carried heavy soiling; externally, the cladding, gutters and flashings had degraded.
The brief and deadline
Deliver a quick, coordinated renovation that turned the space into a presentable showroom for wedding and event dressing displays, inside and out.
Constraints
- Extensive high-level cleaning required before any decoration could start
- Heavily soiled surfaces needing degreasing and preparation rather than simple overpainting
- External coatings requiring correct preparation and specialist products
Delivery
Scope delivered
- High-level steelwork cleaning
- High-level wall-cladding degreasing and cleaning
- Full-height white painting to bare blockwork
- External gutters and flashings cleaned, prepared and finished with two coats of specialist matt black paint
- External cladding cleaned, degreased, prepared and finished with three coats of specialist white PU Plastisol paint
How the work was coordinated
One team sequenced the work so that high-level cleaning finished before decoration began, and external preparation and coating followed as access allowed — keeping the renovation on a short programme.
