About Us

Elevate Finishes is a UK-wide painting and decorating business. We dispatch vetted, quality-checked painters to residential and commercial properties. Every job is managed from first enquiry to final inspection.

What We Do

Once the work is finished you make your second payment. Any genuine defects reported within 7 days are fixed at no extra cost.

Our Work

Finished to a standardevery time.

Deep navy living room with hand-cut edges

01 Residential Interior · London

Clean lines, zero compromise.

Every edge hand-cut. White skirting, white door frames — no tape bleed, no touch-ups after the fact. The colour goes exactly where it should, and nowhere else.

✓Hand-cut edges

✓Skirtings & frames

✓No touch-ups

✓Two coats throughout

✓Ceilings included

02 Commercial Exterior · Birmingham

From residential to commercial — the standard doesn't change.

Full fascia repaint completed around trading hours. Site cleared each evening. The Flaming Grill stayed open throughout — because disruption to business is disruption we plan around.

✓Around trading hours

✓Site cleared daily

✓Weather-resistant coat

✓All access provided

Sage green fitted wardrobes painted in eggshell

03 Joinery & Fitted Furniture · Windsor

We paint joinery. Most decorators don't.

Eggshell on MDF and solid wood joinery requires preparation most painters skip. Every panel sanded, primed, and finished in two coats — no brush marks, no lap lines, consistent colour panel to panel.

✓Sanded & primed

✓Eggshell finish

✓No brush marks

✓Two-coat system

✓Panel-matched colour

04 The Way We Work · Bristol

Prep is half the job.

Dust sheets down, surfaces masked, access equipment set before a brush goes near the wall. Every Elevate painter works the same way — because the setup determines the finish.

✓Dust sheets down

✓Surfaces masked

✓Same setup, every job

✓Access equipment set

✓Site cleared daily

05 The Finish · Feltham

The finish speaks for itself.

Dark wall, white skirting. Where they meet is where skill shows. A clean paint edge — cut by hand, no tape — is the difference between a paint job and a painted room.

✓Hand-cut edge

✓No tape used

✓Dark wall · white skirting

✓Two coats applied

✓Zero overspray

Warm terracotta living room freshly painted

06 Residential Interior · Surrey

A room transformed.

New colour, same life. We work around you — furniture moved and returned, no disruption to your day. You come home to a finished room, not a half-finished one.

Our Painters

Every painter we place
meets the same bar.

We don't send decorators. We place qualified tradespeople — vetted, insured, and assessed before they set foot on a job. This is the standard every Elevate painter holds.

NVQ Level 2 & 3 Qualified

All painters hold a nationally recognised vocational qualification in Painting & Decorating. Not self-taught — properly trained.

City & Guilds / NVQ

CSCS Card Holders

Every painter carries a valid CSCS card — a mandatory requirement on commercial sites and a baseline signal of competence across the trade.

Construction Skills

£2M Public Liability

All painters operate with a minimum of £2 million public liability insurance. Every job — residential or commercial — is fully covered.

Fully Insured

Vetted & Referenced

Every painter is trade-referenced before joining the Elevate network. We check their work history, not just their paperwork.

Pre-screened

DBS Checked

Painters placed in residential properties and domestic settings are DBS checked. You know exactly who is in your home.

Enhanced Check

Ongoing Quality Assessment

Painters are assessed on every job through client feedback and site reviews. Standards don't slip — painters who don't meet them don't stay on the network.

Continuously reviewed

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our service, pricing and process.

Pricing & Quotes

Enter your postcode to confirm we cover your area, then add your rooms one by one — including wall sizes, ceiling height, and the surfaces you want painted. Our tool calculates an instant estimate based on your location, room condition, and surfaces selected. It takes around 2–3 minutes with no sign-up required. After receiving your estimate you can submit an enquiry and we will follow up with a confirmed quote within 48 hours.

The online estimate is a close guide based on the information you provide, but it is not a binding quote. After you submit your enquiry, we may send a detailed measurement form or arrange a site visit to confirm the final price. The confirmed quote is what you will be invoiced for.

Labour rates vary across the UK, and within each city, costs are higher closer to the city centre due to demand, access, and overhead. Our tool applies a location multiplier based on your postcode — the closer you are to a city centre, the higher the labour rate applied. Outer areas within our coverage zones receive the standard rate.

For larger or more complex jobs where an in-person assessment is needed to produce an accurate quote, we charge a £60 site visit fee. This fee is refunded in full when you confirm your booking. If you choose not to proceed, the fee is retained to cover the cost of the visit.

Decorative techniques including colour blocking, limewash, ombre, striping, and two-tone finishes are excluded from our standard online quote tool. These require a site visit to assess properly. Submit an enquiry via our contact form and we will arrange a visit to discuss your requirements and provide a separate quote.

Booking & Payment

Once you are happy with your confirmed quote, a 50% deposit is required to secure your start date. You will receive a customer service agreement to sign digitally before the job begins. The remaining 50% balance is due on completion of the works, before the decorator leaves the property.

We currently accept payment by bank transfer to the details provided on your invoice. Payment details are included with your confirmed quote and again on your final invoice.

Yes, but cancellation charges apply depending on how much notice you give. More than 7 days before the start date: deposit retained, no further charge. Between 3 and 7 days: deposit retained plus 25% of the remaining balance. Less than 3 days or same day: deposit retained plus 50% of the remaining balance. Full details are set out in your customer service agreement.

We aim to confirm a start date within 48 hours of receiving your deposit. Availability varies by location and time of year, but in most cases we can begin within 1–2 weeks of booking. We will always confirm your start date before processing your deposit.

The Works

All works are carried out by vetted, self-employed painting and decorating professionals. Every contractor we work with is required to hold valid public liability insurance, maintain CIS registration with HMRC, and meet our quality standards before being assigned any job.

Yes. All materials are included in your quote and purchased on your behalf. We include a 10–15% buffer to account for coverage variation. Paint colour selection is your responsibility — our AI colour advisor provides guidance only and does not constitute professional colour consultancy advice.

In the rare event that paint runs out during a job, our contractor is required to stop work immediately, photograph the situation clearly, and contact us before taking any further action. They will not leave the property without notifying both Elevate Finishes and the customer. We will then arrange the next steps with you directly.

Yes. Our quote tool supports commercial spaces including offices, retail units, and communal areas. For large or complex commercial projects, submit an enquiry via the contact form so we can discuss your requirements and arrange a site visit if needed.

Yes. You are responsible for removing or protecting valuables, furniture, and personal items from the work area before the start date. Our decorators will protect floors and fixtures as part of their standard process, but clearing the space in advance helps the job run faster and reduces risk to your belongings.

Quality & Complaints

Genuine defects — defined as missed areas, visible runs or drips, uneven coverage, paint on surfaces not in the agreed scope, or damage caused during works — must be reported in writing within 7 days of job completion. We will attend to any genuine defect within 5 working days at no additional charge. Dissatisfaction with colour choice, sheen level, or finish preference does not constitute a defect under our service agreement.

Our contractors are paid on a tiered system based on quality and timeliness. If work falls below standard, a portion of the contractor's payment is withheld and passed directly to you as compensation — we do not retain it. This means our contractors have a direct financial incentive to deliver high-quality work on every job.

Yes. Elevate Finishes holds public liability insurance covering all works carried out under our service agreements. Every contractor we engage is also required to hold their own valid public liability insurance with a minimum of £2,000,000 cover before starting any job with us.

Coverage

We currently cover 10 major UK cities and their surrounding areas: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff, Sheffield, and Nottingham. Enter your postcode in our quote tool to confirm we cover your specific location. More cities are being added regularly.

If your postcode falls outside our current coverage zones, submit an enquiry via the contact form with your location. We are actively expanding and may be able to accommodate your area sooner than you expect, or add it to our waitlist for upcoming coverage.

Not currently. We cover England and Wales only. Scotland may be added in the future — check back or enter your postcode in the quote tool to see current coverage.

done right.
