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.
