Our Community

We always look at every opportunity to engage with our local community. This could take the form of active sponsorships, activities and encouraging our staff (and clients!) to fully immerse themselves through all manner of charitable events that present an opportunity for us to be involved.


We believe this engagement is a necessary part of being part of the community.

Reduce, Re-use and Recycle

Our site teams have adopted best practices when it comes to being environmentally friendly, this helps to reduce our waste and carbon footprint, reusing materials where possible and recycling any end products produced through site based activities.


We work with both customers and our supply chain to review changes in specification which can have environmental benefits, extending maintenance/ life cycles of a project or reducing the environmental impact of maintenance painting works. Changes made are introduced to have long term sustainable benefits for the communities in which we work.

Our Eco-Friendly practices include:

  • Recycling residual paint and solvents
  • Recycling cans and containers
  • Streamline waste reduction
  • Implementing solutions to extend the term of cyclical maintenance programmes
  • Embracing and promoting new paint products which offer environmental benefits, using water products as often as possible
  • Supporting manufacturer developments that reduce VOC (volatile organic compound) levels in paint.
  • Working with the local communities, charities and customers to reuse paint and resources through our local Community Repaint Scheme.

JOHNNY WAKE, COURTEENHALL ESTATES
All Saints Church, Earls Barton

I am writing to you on behalf of the church to express our gratitude for the work recently completed. The quality of the workmanship is superb and the manner in which it was undertaken was excellent allowing our Sunday services to continue.

Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to your painters.

The church looks so very much better for it having lost its rather tired appearance.
