Architectural Finishes & Surface Transformation

Architectural Finishes & Surface Transformation

DI-NOC certified. Live environments. Low-disruption transformations.
what we do
Refresh reception areas, lift interiors, doors, frames, counters, joinery, and wall panels, without full strip-out. We apply DI-NOC and architectural vinyl to live commercial environments, with zero disruption to tenants or occupants. The finish looks better than the original. The timeline is measured in nights, not weeks.

What we apply

3M DI-NOC architectural vinyl: to doors, frames, lift cabs, reception desks, counters and joinery
Architectural finishes: cabinetry, panels, wall sections and feature surfaces
Surface refreshes: aged, damaged, or dated surfaces transformed without replacement
Lift interior refurbishments: full cab refresh over one or two nights
Reception and lobby upgrades: branded, premium-finish, zero-dust application
Portfolio refresh programmes: multiple properties on a planned schedule

How it works

01
Survey
We visit the site, assess surfaces, confirm suitability, and recommend the right DI-NOC reference for the environment, the finish, and the durability required. No guesswork.
02
Specify & Procure
We source the correct DI-NOC grade and reference for each application. Full 3M product range available. We confirm specifications in writing before proceeding.
03
Installation
Applied by trained, certified installers using correct technique for the surface type. No dust, no noise, no disruption to building occupants. Evening, night or weekend installation available where required.
04
Close Out
Completion photography, sign-off and before-and-after records are provided where agreed. Any outstanding items are documented clearly and managed through the closeout process.

Why connect install

What it actually feels like to fit-out with us.

01 — Certified

We're certified.

DI-NOC installation requires training and technique that generic installers don't have. We're certified. The finish reflects it.
02 — Live Environment

We work in live buildings.

No dust, no noise, no mess. Tenants, guests, and occupants don't notice we were there, except that the surface looks completely different.
03 — after hours

Nights and weekends built in.

Lift refurbishments over a weekend. Reception upgrades overnight. You don't need to close the building. We work around it.
04 — Documentation

Photography as standard.

Before and after documentation on every job. You have a record. Your landlord has a record. It's done and it's proven.
05 — No disruption

We work overnight and at weekends.

Live buildings, occupied environments, no disruption to tenants, guests, or staff. We've refurbished three lifts over a single weekend in a building that never closed. The finish the next morning looked like it had always been there.
