Why London

Why choose us for commercial decorating in London and Greater London.

Track record

  • Right now we are on Primark and Tesco stores for R.G. Carter and Morris & Spottiswood. Mostly nights, always around trading
  • RAMS reads like a method statement, not a tick-box. CHAS and CITB Site Safety Plus accredited, Dulux Academy trained, director-led sign-off
  • South of England base. Live schemes from Hammersmith to Aberdare

Right fit when

  • The site needs to keep trading through the works.
  • When the shop has to keep trading, and the decorator is the trade that gets squeezed when everyone else runs late.
  • Brand consistency across the estate matters as much as the finish itself.

Frequently asked · London

What clients in London usually ask first.

Are you based in London?
We're a southern-England contractor with a standing London programme. Mobilisation is typically same-week, with surveys inside 48 hours.
Can you work out-of-hours in central London?
Yes. Most of our London work is overnight or phased around live trading. The cost model assumes night works, not a variation bolted on later.
How do you handle ULEZ and the congestion charge?
All site vehicles are ULEZ-compliant. Congestion charge and parking sit inside the cost model from the start.
What is a commercial decorating contractor?
A construction subcontractor specialising in painting, decorating and surface finishing on commercial premises: retail, offices, hospitality and industrial. We typically work under a main contractor on a fit-out or refurbishment programme.
How is commercial decorating different from domestic?
Programme discipline, accreditation requirements, RAMS and COSHH packs, live-trading capability, certified intumescent for structural steel, and main-contractor commercial workflows like payment applications, retention and variations. Different audience, different documentation.
What does a commercial decorating quote include?
Scope by trade-package phase, line-item pricing with units and rates, prelims as a separate line, named exclusions, dated assumptions, a validity period, and a supporting pack covering insurance, accreditations, a comparable scheme and RAMS readiness. See /insights/clean-quote.
What does a commercial decorator do that a regular decorator does not?
Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), COSHH documentation per product, Working at Height compliance, CDM 2015 procedural compliance, and live-site delivery around occupied premises.
What sectors do you cover?
Retail, office, education, healthcare, heritage and logistics. Most of our programme is repeat work for main contractors and retail estate teams.
