Our team consists of time served decorators with CSCS cards, so whether the project is renovation work or a new build, we always offer a high-quality service and are fully insured. For any work we undertake on school premises or care homes we ensure our team have undertaken an enhanced DBS check.

We are able to work in tandem with our expert flooring team to provide a dual-service package, this can save our customers time and money because we can coordinate, programme and manage the two trades, meaning a smoother work process and our clients only dealing with one company.

Heavy duty coverings and bar top varnishes​

For bar tops and heavy-duty installations, we work with Morells products, which offer options for colour-mixing, bespoke stain-matching for a seamless finish or for more unusual colours.

We offer various wood finishes both interior and architectural coatings as well as VLi polyurethane lacquers, clear acrylic polyurethane lacquers and VLi clear polyester lacquers. These products have outstanding resistance to abrasion, heat, chemical or water ingression. The clear acrylic polyurethane lacquers are also non-yellowing, providing a long-lasting finish. For an authentic aged look, we can also achieve patinas which are spray applied over lacquer coat or sealer.

CONTRACT WALLCOVERINGS​

Contract wallcovering brands we work with include Tektura, Dixon-Turner and Muraspec, offering the option for digital and bespoke designs on wallpaper, window, glass, film or acrylic and unusual textures. Muraspec’s decorative panels such as their Impressions and Luminor range can also be used for partitions, ceilings and wall claddings. For smooth and low porosity surfaces a dry erase write on, wipe off product is a fun and innovative solution that can be used for meeting spaces or heavy traffic areas

Chemical Resistant Floor Paint

We can install high-quality resin flooring products to comply with industry standards. Resin flooring has excellent performance characteristics, including durability, impact resistance, chemical resistance and hygienic finishes. Resin comes in several finishes, including smooth, clear, coloured, decorative and textured. Anti-slip aggregate can also be added to help eliminate slips.
