How we work

We Work From Your Documents

Send us the schedule of condition, the dilapidations assessment or the landlord's requirements and we will price from those directly. You get a quotation that reflects what is actually needed, not a vague estimate that grows once we are on site.

A Defined Programme

Lease-end works often come with a fixed deadline. We plan the programme to meet it. You will know the start date, the completion date and how the works will be sequenced before we begin.

A Single Point of Contact

You will have one consistent point of contact throughout. One person who knows the scope, the deadline and the requirements. If a question comes up or something needs resolving, you will get a fast, clear answer.

Documented Handover

On completion, we provide a documented record of the works carried out. This gives landlords and surveyors a clear basis for sign-off and gives tenants the evidence they need that their obligations have been met.

Why Choose Cosgrove for Dilapidation Works in Southampton

01

25 years of commercial experience

Cosgrove Painting Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating work across Hampshire since the late 1990s. Our new build contracts, still the backbone of the business, have given us the scale, discipline and quality systems that smaller decorators simply haven't built.

We're registered with Constructionline at Silver level, giving facilities managers and procurement teams the assurance that our health and safety, financial and business practices have been independently verified.

03

Our SMAS accreditation confirms we meet the standards required for safe contracting in commercial environments.

For refurbishment projects, we coordinate trusted subcontractors across decoration, tiling, flooring, joinery and certified plumbing and electrical trades. You get a single, joined-up project — not a series of separate contractors to manage yourself.

Owner-managed and accountable

Steve and Dominic Cosgrove run the business. When you work with Cosgrove, you're dealing with the people whose name is on the company. That matters when a decision needs to be made quickly or an issue needs to be resolved.
