New Build Decorating
ABOUT THE SERVICE
The Trusted Decorating Partner for New Build Developers
At Merritt Decorators, new build decorating is at the heart of what we do. With over 2,000 new build properties completed across the South Coast, we have the experience, the team and the processes to deliver on every development - from a single plot to a full estate of 400+ homes.
We work closely with site managers and development teams throughout every project, coordinating around other trades, maintaining a clean and safe site and communicating clearly at every stage.
Developers come back to us time and again because we make the process straightforward and the finish exceptional. Our hard work is shown by regularly winning Contractors of the Month, across a variety of sites we support.
