Environment
Richardson Decorating Contractors Ltd takes concerns over the environment very seriously and are continually looking at ways to improve our procedures. As well as working in accordance with our Environmental Policy, we actively seek methods of improvement and diversity. We are currently looking to achieve accreditation for ISO9001, the international standard which shows evidence that an Environmental Management System is in place.
Doing our bit to help
At Richardson's we always aim to recycle as much as possible. With this is mind we are pleased to donate our leftover paint to local colleges for the apprentices to use as well as local based community projects, charity organisations and day care centres. Recent projects included Harbour Cancer Trust in Gosport and donating paints for the Rainbow Centre Fareham.
Richardson's is an authorised user of the Dulux Decorating Centres' Can Recycling Scheme which ensures that no materials whatsoever go to landfill. Click for further details.
