Working while you’re closed

Sectors — Public buildings

Public spaces, restored while the doors are locked.

Floor restoration for councils, libraries, museums and community buildings across Cornwall & Devon — with methods, paperwork and access plans suited to public buildings.

Free and without obligation · Work planned around your operation

Ready for your agreed opening time

We know your building

Open to everyone by day. Ours by night.

Public buildings answer to everyone: users, councillors, conservation officers, budget holders. We restore stone, timber and modern floors out of hours with methods appropriate to the building’s age and status — and documentation appropriate to public accountability.

Public-access planning

Work is planned around published opening hours and agreed restricted-access periods.

Heritage-appropriate care

Stone and timber in older buildings treated with methods matched to the fabric, not just the finish.

Procurement-friendly

Clear specifications, fixed quotations and documentation that supports public-sector processes.

Assets, not consumables

Restoration extends the life of floors the public purse would otherwise replace.

We work while you’re closed

Delivered out of hours, as standard.

Civic buildings keep public hours — which leaves the rest of the clock to us. Restoration happens while the doors are locked, and the public only ever sees the result.

  1. 17:30

    Your business closes

    Staff and customers head home. Your premises are handed over under agreed access protocols.

  2. 18:00

    Zest arrives

    Our technicians arrive on site with everything needed — no deliveries, no daytime setup.

  3. Overnight

    Professional restoration

    The full restoration is completed while the building is empty. No noise complaints, no closed-off areas.

  4. 05:30

    Final inspection

    Every area is checked, dried and signed off against the agreed specification.

  5. 08:00

    You open on restored floors

    Doors open at the agreed handover time, to a floor that looks new. Your team simply arrives to the result.

Access, security and keyholding protocols are agreed before any work begins. Weekend and closure-period programmes are available where an overnight window isn’t enough.

Questions, answered

What public buildings managers ask us.

If your question isn’t covered, the assessment is the fastest way to a straight answer — free and without obligation.

Can you work in listed or heritage buildings?

Yes — methods are selected for the building fabric, trial areas are agreed where appropriate, and we work within any constraints set by conservation officers.

How do you support public-sector procurement?

With clear written specifications, fixed itemised quotations and the insurance and method documentation your process requires. We’re used to being the easy contractor to take through approval.

Can work be phased across budget years?

Yes — larger restoration programmes are commonly split into phases aligned to budget periods, with each phase independently specified and signed off.
