TOR, floors, DOFF, jet washing
Powder-coated aluminium frames, doors and shopfronts restored on site. Colour matched, refinished in-situ, without scaffold teardown or frame replacement. A fraction of the cost with the same kerb appeal.
The finish is only as good as the substrate beneath it. Jet washing, chemical cleaning and low-pressure DOFF steam cleaning for facades, cladding and hard surfaces. Preparation done to specification, not cut short to save a day.
Protective coating systems for commercial and industrial environments. Specified by substrate, exposure class and usage pattern. TOR, epoxy, polyurethane and cladding systems scoped alongside access and programme.
Built for the people who buy decorating
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
Variations priced ahead of the request. Per-store handover record. AFPs delivered on the day they're due. We run the way you run.
For estate + FM teams
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.
For retail estate leads
Brand-matched paint stacks against the estate spec. KPI reporting per store. Programme that survives shopfit slippage instead of inheriting it.
Find the right route
Most visitors arrive with a sector problem before they know the coating system. These routes match the way buyers search: home and residential work, retail fit-out programmes, and industrial painting or warehouse coatings.
Domestic and residential decorating
We come from commercial sites: Primark stores, Tesco superstores, occupied warehouses. That discipline carries into residential work. A proper survey before quoting, written dust-control plans, and a room-by-room handover that does not leave loose ends.
Retail decorating contractors
Retail decorating is not about paint. It is about working nights around store teams, matching brand colour exactly, absorbing late variation instructions without losing the handover date, and walking away with a signed snag list. Not a punch list left for someone else to close.
Industrial painting contractors
Industrial and warehouse scopes need the coating system specified by substrate condition, not by what is cheapest to apply. We survey the floor, the cladding, the steelwork and the roof before recommending a system, then plan MEWP access, exclusion zones and drying-time sequencing around live operations.

“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.”
08 / standards
A Star works best where the finish, sequence and handover all need to be treated as part of the same commercial package.
Directors on site, not just on email. Decisions made in the field, signed off on the day.
We hit the date you were given. Programme commitments are honoured against the principal contractor's plan, every time.
Scope agreed in writing before mobilisation, then delivered to the standard set, around live trading and without surprises.
Every snag walked, every snag closed, before we ask for a handover signature.
Decorating, spraying and coating finished with restrained, repeatable quality.
Daily on site. Weekly on programme. Honest when something needs to change.
