From day one, Matthew Wade Decorators has worked across both residential and commercial projects. We’ve always enjoyed the variety that comes with decorating homes one day and industrial spaces the next. But over the past few years, something significant has happened. We’ve grown our team, and with that growth has come the ability to take on commercial and industrial projects on a much larger scale than ever before.
Investing in Our Team
Over recent years, we’ve carefully expanded our workforce, bringing on skilled decorators who share our commitment to quality workmanship and outstanding customer service. But it’s not just about numbers. We’ve also invested heavily in upskilling our team, ensuring everyone has the training and expertise needed to tackle increasingly complex and diverse projects.
This investment in people has transformed what we’re capable of. While we’ve always handled commercial and industrial work alongside our residential projects, we can now take on multiple large scale projects simultaneously, manage more complex jobs, and deliver faster turnarounds without ever compromising on quality.
It’s genuinely exciting to see the business evolve in this way.
What Makes Commercial and Industrial Work Different
Commercial and industrial decorating requires a different approach. Several key considerations guide everything we do.
We plan our work around your operations to ensure minimal disruption. Whether it’s a busy hospital ward, a working factory, or a school during term time, that might mean working out of hours, in phases, or coordinating closely with your team.
Safety and compliance are paramount. Our team is fully trained to work safely in commercial and industrial settings, following all necessary health and safety protocols. We also ensure every project meets relevant standards, from fire safety regulations to hygiene requirements in healthcare settings.
These spaces need finishes that can withstand heavy use, rigorous cleaning, and specific environmental conditions. We select materials and techniques that deliver longevity as well as appearance.
The Breadth of Our Experience
The variety of work we’ve undertaken has been one of the most rewarding aspects of our growth.
Hospitals and care homes require particular sensitivity. We work around residents, patients, and staff with minimal disruption, while ensuring finishes meet stringent hygiene standards and create calming, welcoming environments.
Schools need durable finishes that can handle daily wear and tear. We typically work during holidays or weekends, creating bright, inspiring learning environments ready for when students return.
Factories and storage facilities often need specialist finishes, from floor coatings to protective paints. These projects have pushed us to continually expand our technical expertise.
We create professional, productive office spaces that reflect a company’s brand and values, whether it’s a complete refurbishment or a targeted refresh.
Working on the exteriors of buildings of historical significance requires attention to detail, appropriate materials, and respect for the structure’s heritage.
What Hasn’t Changed
As we’ve grown and taken on larger projects, our foundation remains the same. We’re still a family business that takes pride in punctuality and efficiency, clear communication throughout every project, quality materials that last, clean and tidy work areas, and a finish we can be proud of.
Looking Ahead
Our expanded team means we now have the capacity to take on substantial projects while maintaining the personal touch and attention to detail that has built our reputation. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and the chance to work on even more diverse projects.
If you’re considering a commercial or industrial painting and decorating project, we’d love to hear from you.
