About us

Conventional decorating in the line of new housing was the main workload at the outset of trading, leading to period decoration on residential properties throughout the country. In 1996 a supplier of Livos (natural) paints was sourced in Coventry, but ceased trading within 6 months, which raised the issue of a reliable material supply and whether the market was ready for this kind of service. This was followed by a period of large commercial/shop fitting work, thus completing the bulk of sub-contract work.

In 2001 a reliable supply source to differing environmentally safer paint materials was secured , with new residential and commercial customers as a result. One large contract was the decoration to the canteen, main staircase, corridors and meeting room to Suma Whole foods offices, in prior preparation to their 25th anniversary celebration.

In the same period continuing to provide restoration skills and in 2003 were added to the registered contractors list of the Heritage Information Trust (under search, enter - George Bogojevic and in Category select - Specialist) after a lengthy vetting procedure.

Sustainability

Paints unlike other building materials such as wood and stone are not recyclable and therefore have a direct impact on the environment at the end of their life cycle. To reduce this impact, it is beneficial to use paints of a more gentle nature  Green Paints  unlike conventional petroleum-base paints  Environment and Health. The production of conventional paints is alarmingly inefficient in terms of energy usage, and the manufacture of one ton of such paint can produce up to ten tonnes of waste, of which, much is toxic and non-degradable. This from a sector of industry not renowned for its commitment to environmental protection boasts alarming consequences.

Ongoing Commitment

The environmental implication of our operations have an impact on our outlook, development and commitment. This is visible in the way we research and purchase new equipment as technology improves, with the latest acquisition of a upto date HVLP spray unit. This High Volume Low Pressure technique reduces the amount of over-spray (paint cloud), thus decreasing the direct atmospheric pollution. Our aim is to provide an environmentally safer decorating service, while taking on board the wider ethical implications associated with such operations.
