Paints
Interior and exterior paint systems: primers, base coats and finish coats, chosen against the substrate they are going onto rather than from a shade card alone.
Building & finishing materials
Paints, decorative materials and project supply
We sell and supply the materials that go into execution and finishing works — for our own projects, and for clients building without us.
What we supply
Three supply categories
These are the categories we trade in. Specific brands, product lines and availability depend on the project and on current supplier arrangements — ask and we will tell you what we can source for your scope.
Decorative & finishing materials
Materials for decorative and finishing work — the products that create the visible surface, together with the preparation materials that sit under them.
Execution supplies
General materials for construction execution, supplied against the quantities and dates agreed for the project.
Tools and accessories
Tools, application accessories and consumables used in execution and finishing work, supplied alongside the materials they go with.
Sourcing to a requirement
Where a scope needs something we do not hold, we will look for it against the requirement rather than substitute the nearest thing to hand.
We do not publish a product catalogue, brand list or stock figures. What is available depends on the project and on current supply arrangements — describe the scope and we will tell you what we can supply for it.
Why buy from a contractor
Materials and installation in the same conversation
A merchant knows what a product costs and what the data sheet says. A contractor has also seen products go onto walls. Selling and installing finishing materials means the questions we ask a supplier are the ones that matter on site — coverage, compatibility with what sits under and over it, and how it behaves in the conditions we work in.
If we think a specification is likely to fail, we will say so before quoting it rather than after.
- Advice framed around application, not only specification
- Attention to system compatibility — primer, base and finish as a set
- Quantities worked out against the information you provide
- Delivery arranged to suit the programme where the scope allows
How supply works
Two ways to buy from us
| Route | How it works |
|---|---|
| Inside a project | We are carrying out the works, so the materials are specified, procured and installed under the same scope agreement. |
| Supply only | You are running the works. Send the bill of quantities, the finish schedule or the drawings and we quote for supply. We will flag a specification we think will fail; the installation is yours. |
What we need to quote
- Drawings, a finish schedule or a bill of quantities
- Substrate type and current condition
- Interior or exterior, and the exposure involved
- Required delivery dates and site access
- Any specification you are already committed to
Partial information is fine — we would rather start the conversation and fill the gaps than wait for a complete package.
Are you a manufacturer?
We are looking to identify and evaluate suppliers of paints, coatings, decorative finishing materials, interior finishing products and related construction products.
Sourcing & partnershipsTell us what you are building
Send the scope, the drawings, or just the question. We will tell you what we can execute, what we would supply, and what we would need from you to price it.
