A construction firm's spray team · London

Commercial spray painting,
on-site, out of hours, factory-finished.

The in-house commercial spray painting division of PM Modern Construction — factory-grade finishes on shopfronts, cladding, kitchens, joinery, uPVC and radiators, applied in situ with the carpentry, M&E and substrate prep handled by the same crew.

What makes us different

A builder.
Not just a paint shop.

Most London spray firms only spray. We do that — and we run the construction company that handles everything around it. For a commercial client, that's the difference between a tidy quote and a finished job.

— 01

We handle the substrate.

Damaged shopfront frame? Repaired before we spray. Sagging cabinet hinge? Rehung. Radiator off the wall, joinery reworked around new pipework? In-house. Our spray crew sit alongside our carpenters and M&E team — so the prep gets done properly, by the same firm that's accountable for the finish.

— 02

One quote, one programme.

You're not coordinating a spray firm with a carpenter, a glazier and an electrician across the same job. One fixed quote, one site team, one programme. Faster on-site, cheaper to run, and the finish lands right because the prep was right.

— 03

Construction-grade cover.

£5M public liability, plus the construction safety accreditations (CHAS, ConstructionLine, FMB, Considerate Constructors-eligible) that property managers, landlords and facilities teams require for commercial sites. The certificates most spray-only firms can't produce.

Why spray, not brush

A brush leaves marks.
Spray leaves nothing.

The same surface — sprayed, properly prepared and properly contained — looks like new joinery rather than refreshed joinery. That's the difference between a respray and a repaint. We do the first.

Three things our commercial clients buy from us: a flawless, factory-grade finish on the existing asset; the speed and cost of refinishing rather than replacing; and a delivery model that keeps the doors open while the work happens.

— Finish

Factory-grade, in situ.

Two-pack PU and 2K acrylic systems sprayed with HVLP and airless equipment to deliver a finish that's flat, hard-wearing, and indistinguishable from a manufactured one.

— Downtime

Hours, not weeks.

A typical shopfront completes overnight. A kitchen cabinet respray runs 4–5 days. Office work is scheduled over weekends. You open the next morning to the new finish.

— Cost

Respray, don't replace.

Typically 50–70% cheaper than replacing existing units and far quicker. Particularly cost-effective for shopfronts, cabinetry, cladding, joinery, uPVC and radiators.

— Guarantee

5–10 year warranty.

Each job is guaranteed for between five and ten years on the paint film, depending on substrate, exposure and product. The specific guarantee is set out in writing in the quote.

Applications

What we spray.

Across central London, the same techniques and equipment refinish very different surfaces — from a Mayfair shopfront to the radiators in a Shoreditch office. Eight that come up most often:

— 01

Shopfronts & signage

Frames, fascias, signage and shutters in any RAL — sprayed overnight, sealed for retail by morning.

— 02

Cladding & façades

On-site cladding respray with a 10-year film warranty. No scaffolding teardown for a panel replacement that wasn't needed.

— 03

Kitchen cabinetry

Full kitchen respray to a factory finish in 4–5 days. Doors, drawers and panels masked on-site or off-site as preferred.

— 04

Bespoke joinery

Doors, panels, wardrobes, built-in furniture, fitted libraries — finished to the same standard as the joiner intended.

— 05

uPVC windows & doors

Substrate-specific primer system, guaranteed to adhere to uPVC. A respray instead of full window replacement.

— 06

Radiators & metalwork

On-site radiator and metalwork respray — heat-resistant finishes, RAL-accurate, no removal required.

— 07

Office interiors

Reception desks, partitions, doors, joinery — refreshed without taking a single workday offline.

— 08

Lift doors & roller shutters

Specialist refinishing for high-touch, high-traffic surfaces — single-day turnaround per lift door.

Process

Four stages,
nothing skipped.

The finish is in the preparation. Most of the work happens before the spray gun starts.

01

Survey & specification

Free on-site survey. We assess substrate, condition, environment and access; agree colour, sheen and product system; quote with a fixed price and a clear programme.

02

Containment & preparation

Full containment of work area. Substrate cleaned with industry-standard solvents, defects filled, surface keyed and tac-ragged. The prep takes longer than the spray, and that's deliberate.

03

Prime & spray

Substrate-appropriate primer, then two full coats of the finish system applied with HVLP or airless equipment. Climate, dust and dwell time controlled inside the containment.

04

Inspection & reveal

Each surface inspected under direct and raking light, defects sanded out, second coat reapplied where needed. Containment removed, area cleaned, finish handed over with guarantee in writing.

Frequently asked

Questions, honestly answered.

Most on-site jobs complete in 2–5 working days, often scheduled overnight or over a weekend to keep your business open. A boutique shopfront respray is typically a single overnight; a full kitchen cabinet respray runs 4–5 days; office and cladding work depends on area but is planned around your trading hours.

Yes — out-of-hours, overnight and weekend work is standard for shopfronts, offices, hospitality and retail premises. We seal off work areas with full containment and ventilation so business resumes the next morning with no disruption.

Any RAL Classic and RAL Design colour, BS 4800 and BS 381C ranges, and Pantone PMS where appropriate. We also colour-match to a sample — a piece of existing trim, a fabric, a brand swatch — when there's no spec number to work from.

Yes. uPVC requires a specific surface preparation and a primer formulated for plastic substrates — done correctly, it adheres for many years and is fully guaranteed. We use a two-pack PU system that's been the industry standard for uPVC refinishing for over a decade.

Matte, eggshell, satin, silk, gloss and high-gloss. The right choice depends on the substrate, the use (high-touch vs. visual only), the lighting, and the brand standard. We'll recommend a finish at the survey stage.

Almost always — typically 50–70% cheaper than replacement, with the work completed in days rather than weeks and without the disposal cost or downtime of removing existing fixtures. Respray is particularly cost-effective for shopfronts, kitchen cabinetry, cladding and uPVC.

Yes. Standard guarantee is between 5 and 10 years on the paint film, depending on substrate, exposure and product. We'll set out the specific guarantee in the quote so it's clear before work starts.

Across Greater London — central, west, north and south. Most of our spray painting work is in W1, SW, WC, NW, EC and SE postcodes, including Chelsea, Kensington, Mayfair, Belgravia, Notting Hill, the City and Shoreditch.
