The company, which is based in Portsmouth and Chichester covering Hampshire and Sussex, originally started out in the 1980's and has over 25 years of experience in the paint stripping and reclamation sector. Picketts are a local family-run business specialising in the stripping, painting and restoration of iron, wood and aluminium garden furniture. The company continues to offer an efficient and p
rofessional service and has maintained its friendly, traditional approach which has been cheering up all types of garden furniture, whether modern or antique. The company specialise in the up-grading of traditional doors to fire rated doors using envirograf products. This is a water-based clear or white intumescent coating kit for upgrading raised-and-fielded doors to fire door status. Each kit contains ½ litre of primer, 1½ litres of intumescent coating, and ½ litre of top coat – enough to cover an area of 6m² (depending on the size of the door, this may be enough material to cover three to four sides of single doors). Kits can be coloured to BS or RAL colours. Only the risk side needs to be coated on room doors and both sides on doors leading onto corridors or at the top of stairs. There is no need to remove any existing paints, varnish, or gold leaf. Mr Picketts Ltd has a growing group of customers, situated in the local area and further a field. Recent completed projects for one of these customers The Berkeley Homes Group, included the up grading of the original gothic style doors to fire grade doors in Summer Place, Billingshurst, west Sussex.
