Internal & external painting & decorating

From refreshing internal walls and ceilings to revitalising exterior facades, we apply high-specification commercial finishes across your entire premises. We use premium, industry-leading paints and advanced application techniques to ensure a durable, aesthetically pleasing result that withstands both heavy daily wear and the elements.

Wallpapering

We offer a complete, professional application service for a wide and diverse range of wall coverings. Our expertise extends beyond traditional paper, encompassing heavy commercial vinyl and durable fabrics including Tektura and Muraspec wallcoverings.

Whether your project requires a classic, intricate design for a heritage property restoration or a modern, custom-printed mural for a corporate office or retail space, our team’s application is flawless. We handle all necessary wall preparation to ensure a precise and long-lasting bond, guaranteeing a high-quality finish that perfectly matches your design vision and protects your investment.

Airless spray painting

For large-scale commercial, industrial, or new build projects, and demanding deadlines, our airless spray painting service provides the most rapid and efficient solution. This advanced technique atomises paint at high pressure to deliver a perfectly uniform, smooth finish on large surfaces.

Using Graco airless paint sprayers, this technology ensures a flawless and uniform coat of paint coverage on all interior or exterior surfaces including ceilings, warehouse walls, and complex structural elements, delivering the best combination of speed and a high-quality finish.

By significantly reducing application time compared to traditional methods, we accelerate project timelines, minimise disruption, and ensure rapid, on-budget completion. It is the ideal, professional method for achieving a deep, consistent colour across vast areas quickly.

French polishing

Our specialist French polishing service offers a traditional yet timeless method of restoring and enhancing wooden surfaces. Using refined hand-applied techniques, we achieve a deep, mirror-like sheen that highlights the natural grain and character of the wood.

This meticulous process not only revives the beauty of high-end joinery, furniture, staircases, doors, and panelling, but also provides long-lasting protection against daily wear.

Ideal for both heritage restorations and contemporary interiors, French polishing brings a touch of craftsmanship and elegance to your space while preserving its unique aesthetic value.

Two-part epoxy floor coatings

We provide professional application of two-part epoxy floor coatings, designed to deliver excellent durability in the most demanding commercial and industrial settings. This advanced system combines resin and hardener to form a seamless, high-strength surface that resists impact, abrasion, and chemical exposure.

Crucially, we can provide dust-free floor preparation via diamond grinding. This preparatory process uses rotating diamond tooling to level the floor, remove existing coatings and create a uniform, textured ‘key’ ideal for applying new coatings. By removing weak surface layers and opening the concrete’s pores, this dust-controlled method ensures a high-quality, durable bond for the epoxy, polyurethane, or polished concrete finishes.

Perfect for warehouses, workshops, kitchens, and healthcare facilities, epoxy coatings create a hygienic, easy-to-clean finish that maintains its appearance under heavy use. Available in a range of colours and finishes, our coatings not only enhance safety and functionality but also give your flooring a sleek, professional look that endures. We also offer a range of alternative protective solutions and industrial coatings.
