Housing association painting in Leicestershire.
Void properties, communal areas and cyclical programmes — delivered with RAMS, reliable scheduling and respect for tenants. For registered providers, council housing teams and maintenance contractors.
A decorating partner for social housing
A.S Painting Contractors provides painting and decorating for the social housing sector across Leicestershire — not as a domestic decorator, but as a site-ready contractor who understands void KPIs, planned programmes and life in occupied blocks.
Housing associations are independent registered providers; councils manage their own stock (sometimes via an ALMO); and many jobs are let by larger maintenance contractors holding framework agreements. We work with all three — whichever side you sit on, you get clear quotes, compliant paperwork and crews who turn up when agreed.
Services we provide
Scopes aligned to social landlord specifications — void painting, communal decoration, externals and responsive make-good.
-
Void property redecoration
Fast-turnaround repainting of empty homes between tenancies — walls, ceilings, woodwork and kitchens — programmed to your void KPI and SLA targets.
-
Planned & cyclical programmes
Scheduled multi-year external and communal decoration cycles, scoped in phases so blocks stay partly occupied and programmes stay on programme.
-
Communal areas
Entrances, hallways, stairwells, landings and lift lobbies in blocks and sheltered schemes — durable, wipeable finishes for high footfall.
-
External decoration
Fascias, soffits, render, masonry, windows, doors and garages — specified systems for social housing stock across Leicestershire.
-
Responsive repairs decoration
Making good after plumbing, electrical or building repairs — matched finishes and snagging so voids and occupied lets return to standard quickly.
-
Sheltered & supported living
Sensitive working around elderly and vulnerable residents — quiet methods, clear communication and minimal disturbance to daily routines.
-
Damp & mould redecoration
Preparation and redecoration following mould treatment, including anti-mould coatings where your specification requires — an increasing priority for social landlords.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from housing asset managers, repairs leads and maintenance contractors.
Who do you work with in the social housing sector?
We work with housing associations (registered providers), local authority housing teams and property-maintenance contractors who hold framework or responsive contracts on their behalf. Tell us whether you are procuring direct or via a prime contractor and we will align quotes and RAMS accordingly.
What void turnaround can you achieve?
Turnaround depends on property size, specification and access. [Confirm typical void turnaround — e.g. X days for a two-bed void.] We programme voids against your KPI/SLA and flag any prep issues at survey so dates stay realistic.
Can you work in occupied blocks and sheltered schemes?
Yes. Communal and external phases are planned to keep routes open where possible. In sheltered and supported living we work sensitively around residents, with notice periods and quiet working methods agreed in advance.
What insurance do you hold?
We carry appropriate business insurance for painting and decorating work, including public liability cover. We are not on schemes such as CHAS or Constructionline, but insurance certificates can be supplied for your records. Ask if you need a specific level of cover for your contract.
Do you supply RAMS and method statements?
Yes — on every job. RAMS means risk assessments and method statements: how we will work safely on site, including access, PPE, COSHH, waste, fire routes and resident safety. We issue them before work starts and can follow your client's template where required.
Which areas do you cover?
We are Leicester-based and work across Leicestershire for social landlords and their contractors — including Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville and Melton Mowbray. [Owner to confirm full coverage radius.]
