Aluminium Window Frame Transformation at 2 Evelyn Street, Deptford
NuColour Ltd was appointed to carry out a full aliminium window frame respray on both sides of a commercial property at 2 Evelyn Street, Deptford, SE8 5DQ. The aim of the project was to refresh and modernise the building's exterior appearance with a uniform, professional finish — while working within strict access and safety requirements set by the site.
This project required careful coordination of two access systems: a MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) on the side with full ground clearance, and a tower scaffold system on the opposing elevation due to on-site ladder restrictions. Our experienced, certified team delivered the works efficiently and without disruption to the surrounding area.

Project Challenges & Solutions
Split Access Requirements
- The site allowed MEWP access on one side but prohibited ladder use on the other.
- Solution: We deployed IPAF-certified MEWP operatives where permitted, and assembled a mobile access tower for the restricted elevation to maintain safety and compliance.
Cleaning Before Coating
- Frames required thorough preparation for good adhesion and a professional finish.
- Solution: A portable RO water system was used with extendable poles to ensure all windows were cleaned without delay or compromise to access.
Public Interface & Safety
- The building was in a busy urban area with foot traffic around the perimeter.
- Solution: We established exclusion zones, maintained a tidy worksite, and used low-odour coatings to minimise impact.
Health & Safety Compliance
- Working at height and spraying in populated areas presented inherent risks.
- Solution: CHAS Elite-approved RAMS were submitted in advance. Our team followed full PPE protocols, and daily site briefings ensured control measures were always in place.
The Process
Step 1: Site Preparation & RAMS Compliance
- RAMS documentation submitted and approved pre-start
- MEWP and scaffold set-up by certified operatives

Step 2: Cleaning of Window Frames
- Reach and wash pole system used with RO water
