Our story

A family business built on hard work, honesty and quality

Since 1965, G.I. Sykes has grown from a small family operation into a nationwide commercial contractor trusted by the UK’s biggest businesses.

Now under new management, the business is moving forward with a fresh focus, combining decades of hands-on experience with modern processes, safer working practices and a renewed commitment to exceptional service.

Whether we’re delivering large-scale industrial coatings or managing full building refurbishment projects, our goal is always the same: solid work, done right, by people who care.

Meet The Team

The G.I.Sykes team

In November 2024, we underwent a management buyout, transitioning from a fourth generation family ownership to a management team.

Specialising in painting, decorating, on-site spraying, and building maintenance, the company has grown into a major contractor for commercial properties.

We have a team of over 40 skilled and qualified tradespeople, employed directly by us to ensure consistent standards and high quality workmanship on every project.
