Built for the people who buy decorating

Three audiences. One delivery model.

We are a specialist sub-contractor, not a turnkey fit-out outfit. We deliver decorating, spraying, restoration and coatings under main contractors and direct estate teams.

For main contractors

Hands on decorating. On time, every time, snags closed before handover.

Variations priced ahead of the request. Per-store handover record. AFPs delivered on the day they're due. We run the way you run.

  • Active main-contractor framework relationships
  • Variations priced ahead of the request, AFPs on the day they are due
  • Per zone handover record across multi store programmes

For estate + FM teams

Live trading stays live. Restoration before replacement.

Survey to handover without closing the unit. Powder-coat restoration with a 5-7 year service life. Run-off, masking and reopening tracked store-by-store.

  • Out-of-hours + phased delivery on rolling estate programmes
  • Photo-led handover record per store / per elevation
  • DOFF, chemical and jet-wash cleaning ahead of any coating

For retail estate leads

Brand consistency, store by store, on the date you promised.

Brand-matched paint stacks against the estate spec. KPI reporting per store. Programme that survives shopfit slippage instead of inheriting it.

  • Multi-store rolling programmes. KPI reported nightly
  • Brand-matched Dulux Trade specifications
  • Repeat-work relationships across Primark · Tesco · M&S

Access plan tying preparation, finish and handover together

“Had a good experience on a large scale retail superstore with interior and exterior decorations. Undercroft carpark spraying and fire intumescent coatings. Good attention to detail with a compassionate and professional lead from the director of the company.”

How the work stays controlled

A Star works best where the finish, sequence and handover all need to be treated as part of the same commercial package.

01

Hands on

Directors on site, not just on email. Decisions made in the field, signed off on the day.

02

On time

We hit the date you were given. Programme commitments are honoured against the principal contractor's plan, every time.

03

Always deliver

Scope agreed in writing before mobilisation, then delivered to the standard set, around live trading and without surprises.

04

Snags closed

Every snag walked, every snag closed, before we ask for a handover signature.

05

Craft

Decorating, spraying and coating finished with restrained, repeatable quality.

06

Clear comms

Daily on site. Weekly on programme. Honest when something needs to change.
