We’ve worked with Stephen and Alan Wood Decorations for a number of years across all our major sites; Brighton, Croydon, Canary Wharf, London Bridge, Battersea, Spitalfields, Oxford. 

Working with good people makes everything easy and that’s why we keep coming back. The quality is great, but more than that, they’re hugely responsive (we’re not the easiest client, there’s been many a last minute change!) They work with us to make things happen when there are challenges on a project.

Breakfast Club is about doing the simple things well. That’s what Alan Wood Decorations do in their field.

As a designer, creating the right vision for my clients is only half the job. If we can’t translate that vision into a physical reality, ultimately the blame falls to me.

Stephen and the team at Alan Wood Decorations are delivery partners I can trust, They’re people I can work with and get to know, so when it comes to translating our design from paper into reality, the final result is as good as intended.

These are my flagship sites where attention to detail is everything. Stephen and his team get the job done whatever the challenges and work with us to make things happen in a practical way and on time! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

01
Project planning

We work directly with designers and specifiers, consulting on the latest materials and techniques to make their design vision a reality. We also have long standing, trusted relationships with national contractors, delivering commercial painting and decorating services as part of larger construction and refit projects.

02
Delivery

We pride ourselves on delivering on time and to the highest standards. We work closely with you and your team throughout the build to find solutions to on site challenges and bring your vision to life. Owner managers are onsite throughout, working and directing teams of experienced and trusted tradesmen to ensure timely delivery to the highest standards.

maintenance

We’ve worked in partnership with our clients over many years on maintenance support of their flagship sites. Public spaces in particular suffer from daily wear and tear. Depending on how heavily used the space is, we work on a quarterly, bi annual or annual refurbishment programme with our clients, to keep things looking as fresh as they did on launch day.
