A Reliable Painting Partner.
Not an Agency.
We supply painters to contractors without the middleman costs, and deliver professional residential painting to homeowners across Cornwall — applying the same standards to every project.
What Makes Us Different
We’re not a recruitment agency and we’re not a one-person band. We operate as a painting contractor — which means consistency, accountability, and no middlemen.
Relationships, Not Recruitment
We work with a consistent group of experienced painters — not a rotating pool of agency workers. That means you get the same standards, the same faces, and genuine continuity across projects.
Straightforward Pricing
Clear day rates or project prices with no hidden fees, no agency-style margins, and no surprises on the invoice. You know exactly what you’re paying for before a brush touches a wall.
Consistent Workforce
Our painters know how to work together and within live environments. That consistency supports productivity, quality of finish, and reliable site attendance — even when the programme shifts.
Long-Term Reliability
We’re not interested in filling one gap and moving on. Our aim is to be the painter supplier or decorator that clients call back project after project — because the experience was straightforward and the work was good.
Built for Two Types of Client
The same commitment to quality and reliability — applied differently depending on who you are and what you need.
Why Contractors Choose Us
-
Direct Labour Supply
You deal with us directly — no agency in the chain, no recruitment fee, no margin on top of every day rate.
-
Predictable Day Rates
Clear rates from the outset, straightforward weekly invoicing, and no hidden costs that inflate your labour budget.
-
Site-Ready Operatives
Experienced painters who understand site expectations, work efficiently in live environments, and don’t need hand-holding on arrival.
-
Flexible Scaling
Scale painter numbers up or down quickly to match programme changes — without agency admin delays or rigid contract terms.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
-
Professional Finish
Carefully prepared surfaces and professionally applied paint — the kind of finish that actually looks right and lasts, not one that starts peeling within a year.
-
Respect for Your Home
We work tidily and thoughtfully — floors and furniture protected, dust sheets down, and the space left clean when we’re done.
-
Clear Communication
You deal directly with us — not a call centre. Honest timescales, straightforward updates, and no chasing required to find out what’s happening.
-
Cornwall Specialists
We understand Cornwall’s coastal conditions — the damp, the salt air, the weather — and use products and techniques that work here specifically.
Fair Pricing. Nothing Hidden.
We keep our pricing clear and predictable because we think that’s how a professional business should operate. There are no agency margins being added on top, no inflated day rates to compensate for hidden fees, and no surprises when the invoice arrives.
-
Fair pricing: clear, predictable costs You receive a day rate or project price upfront, and that’s what you pay. No grey areas.
-
No hidden margins Because there’s no agency involved, there’s no layer of margin being taken between you and the painter doing the work.
-
No unnecessary overheads Lean delivery means you’re paying for painting, not for a sales team, an account manager, and a CRM system you’ve never asked for.
-
Value through efficiency Consistent painters, reliable attendance, and good standards mean the work gets done properly first time — which is where the real value sits.
