Read project →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
For homes, rental property, managed blocks and high-end residential work, we bring the same survey discipline, protection, preparation and clean handover used on commercial sites.
Retail decorating contractors
Retail work needs predictable nights, clean protection, brand-matched finishes and a handover that does not leave store teams dealing with snags the next morning.
Industrial painting contractors
Industrial and warehouse scopes need substrate-led specification, access planning, safe segregation and coating systems that match how the building is used.
How we deliver
Twenty years finishing commercial buildings across the UK. Director led, directly employed crews, one programme and one point of contact from survey to handover.

Stores stay open. Surveys, masking and run off planned around foot traffic.

Offices in Poole and London. Crews mobilised across England, Scotland and Wales.

Frequently asked
Glazing, gaskets, ironmongery and sealants are masked before primer. The glass is checked at demask.

Yes. Most schemes are delivered phased, with the floor or wing reopened as we demask.
Yes. We sample on site and match to current colour, not factory-fresh.
