06 / coatings
Epoxy, polyurethane and chemical-resistant floor systems for warehouses, distribution centres and commercial premises. The system is matched to the substrate, the traffic load and how much downtime you can give us.

Sectors
Process
01
Substrate moisture test (Tramex or hygrometer), cohesion check, traffic load assessment, chemical exposure inventory, downtime window. The cure schedule is agreed before specification, not after.
02
System selected by substrate, load class and use: epoxy screed for heavy forklift traffic, polyurethane for food environments and thermal cycling, chemical-resistant PU where required. Anti-slip aggregate grade specified if needed. Cure schedule set to the system, not the client's preferred weekend.
03
Project-specific RAMS including ventilation plan, pedestrian and forklift exclusion zones during application and cure, COSHH for solvent and catalyst components.
04
Shot-blast or diamond-grind substrate, vacuum clean, apply primer, lay system coats to specified film build, broadcast aggregate if in spec, cure, line-mark.
05
As-applied record (product batch, film thickness readings, application temperatures), anti-slip classification where applicable, cleaning and maintenance regime.
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
We come from commercial sites: Primark stores, Tesco superstores, occupied warehouses. That discipline carries into residential work. A proper survey before quoting, written dust-control plans, and a room-by-room handover that does not leave loose ends.
Retail decorating contractors
Retail decorating is not about paint. It is about working nights around store teams, matching brand colour exactly, absorbing late variation instructions without losing the handover date, and walking away with a signed snag list. Not a punch list left for someone else to close.
Industrial painting contractors
Industrial and warehouse scopes need the coating system specified by substrate condition, not by what is cheapest to apply. We survey the floor, the cladding, the steelwork and the roof before recommending a system, then plan MEWP access, exclusion zones and drying-time sequencing around live operations.
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.
01
Stores stay open. Surveys, masking and run off planned around foot traffic.
02
Night programmes on retail and hospitality estates. Clean before doors open.
03
Rolling 4 to 12 stores a week against a national programme.
04
Offices in Poole and London. Crews mobilised across England, Scotland and Wales.
05
Decorating, on site spraying, powder coat restoration and floor coatings under one PM.
06
Before and after record, gloss readings and written service life on every scheme.
Frequently asked
Walk-on is typically 12-24 hours. Forklift-ready is typically 5-7 days, depending on system and temperature. Confirmed in writing per scheme.
Yes. Aluminium oxide, glass bead or quartz aggregate broadcast into the topcoat. Slip-resistance rating to the specified class.
Yes, with the right system. We specify to the actual traffic load class, not a generic warehouse spec.
Some systems can, some can't. It depends on substrate moisture, ventilation and the cure rate. We agree the realistic handover at survey, based on the actual cure time.
System-dependent. Most schemes ship with a manufacturer-backed warranty where we are the approved applicator.

03 / spraying
on-site commercial spraying. A factory-grade spray finish, done on site without taking anything out. HVLP for control on the detail and edges, airless for the big repetitive runs. Full polythene masking and live-site extraction so the rest of the building keeps working.
