Commercial Office Redecoration – 145 Morrison Street, Edinburgh
This four-storey commercial office refurbishment at 145 Morrison Street highlights our expertise in delivering fast-turnaround decorating projects for commercial clients.
Full Office Painting & Refurbishment Project
At 145 Morrison Street, a large multi-floor office occupied by Capita, we delivered a complete commercial redecoration project on behalf of a UK-wide facilities management company.
This project involved restoring a four-storey office building to its original condition, ensuring it met end-of-lease requirements and was ready for handover to the landlord—all within a strict 4-week deadline.
If you’re searching for commercial painters in the UK who can deliver high-quality finishes at speed, this project is a strong example of our capabilities.
Our Expertise in Office Painting (Void & Live Environments)
We specialise in painting both:
- Void office spaces (empty buildings requiring full restoration)
- Live office environments (occupied spaces requiring minimal disruption)
For this project, we applied proven systems to ensure:
- Efficient delivery across four floors
- Consistent, high-quality finishes throughout
- Careful planning and sequencing to meet deadlines
Scope of Work
Our team carried out a full internal redecoration, including:
- Office spaces and meeting rooms
- Corridors and circulation areas
- Stairwells
- WC facilities

A standout element was the spray re-finishing of the reception desk and architectural feature panels, creating a seamless, modern finish.
