Our core values
We are guided by a set of core values that inform how we approach our projects.
Honesty
We are transparent and truthful in our communications. This means that if additional work comes up we will let you know straight away. Also, throughout the project we will share pictures and videos of our progress.
Responsiveness
We respond to our customers in a timely and respectful manner. This includes responding to quotations, or to any questions relating to ongoing projects within a reasonable timeframe.
Professionalism
We keep our word and follow through on the commitments we make to others. This means that if we commit to deliver something we will. We honour our agreements and expect the same from others.
Helpfulness
We support each other in good faith throughout the project. This means that if additional small jobs come up that need doing, we will help out within reason. Also, all workers will be supported to do their best work.
What sets us appart
Our methodology
Specialist equipment
We utilise specialist equipment throughout our projects to significantly accelerate work completion while maintaining the highest quality standards. Painting times are drastically reduced through the deployment of professional-grade tools including high-pressure airless sprayers, industrial-scale heaters and fans, and commercial dehumidifiers.
Stringent preparation
Thorough preparation forms a crucial part of every project, with all non-target areas carefully protected using polyethylene dust-sheets, edge-taping along skirting boards, and coverings for windows and doors. We meticulously prepare surfaces through sanding, damp treatment, and gap filling to ensure exceptional, long-lasting results.
Our commitment to you
Peace of mind
Our services are fully protected with five million pounds of liability insurance and ten million pounds of employers insurance, giving you complete peace of mind. We guarantee consistently high levels of cleanliness while ensuring minimal disruption to your daily operations. Additionally, we offer flexible working hours that can be tailored to suit your specific schedule.
Transparent communication
We believe in transparency throughout your project, providing regular visual updates through photographs and videos that document each stage of our work. These progress reports are shared directly with you, ensuring you remain fully informed about the status of your project even when you're off-site or unable to be present during the work.
