Complete Retail Painting Services
From shop front painting to complete interior refurbishment, we handle every aspect of retail decorating. Our services include shop fronts, sales floors, fitting rooms, showrooms, retail unit refurbishment, window surrounds, back-of-house areas, and shopping centre units. Every project is managed with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
Commercial-Grade Results
Retail environments demand durability. We use hard-wearing paints designed for high-traffic areas, with finishes that stay looking fresh season after season. All work comes with our workmanship guarantee. If you're working to specific brand colours or corporate guidelines, we'll match them precisely using RAL or Pantone references.
Shop Front Painting Specialists
Your shop front is your first impression. We specialise in shop front painting in London, delivering weather-resistant, UV-protected finishes that enhance your brand visibility. From wooden shopfronts to modern glazing surrounds, we handle all external commercial painting with minimal disruption to your business.
Can You Paint My Shop Without Closing?
Yes, in many cases. For shops with multiple rooms, we can work section by section while you continue trading. For open-plan units, we recommend out-of-hours working. Our most popular approach is weekend working—we start Friday evening, work through the weekend, and you're ready to open Monday morning.
Shopping Centre Expertise
We're experienced working within shopping centre guidelines. We'll liaise with centre management, provide necessary documentation (insurance certificates, risk assessments, method statements), and work within any access or timing restrictions they impose. Our team understands the additional requirements of managed retail environments.
How Long Does It Take to Paint a Retail Unit?
