The mark ofresponsible forestry
of car parking and ramps throughout the site with specialist yellow safety road
marking paint. With significant help on sourcing from our trade contract partner,
Dulux, we completed the task just in time for the scheduled opening.
Our surface treatment advisers were called in to sort out a difficult problem with
the external paint system at a major Sainsburys store undergoing refurbishment.
We analysed the steelwork and developed a remedial treatment for the entire
structure at half the cost of the original estimate. We were also on hand to
complete a full internal redecoration programme of Marks & Spencer’s Grade I
listed “Pantheon” landmark store on Oxford Street as part of a full refurbishment
in 2007.
Another full refurbishment programme at Chelsea’s favourite store, Peter Jones,
and again Lucas was called on to provide a complete decoration service, both
internally and externally. We were closely involved in the design process and in
the development of the works programme so that the store could remain open
throughout the two-year programme. Peter Jones even recorded its best sales
figures at the time. Careful planning succeeds every time.
Lucas has a tremendous reputation in the retail sector. So who better, then, to
decorate the newly refurbished West End headquarters of REISS, one of the
Duchess of Cambridge’s favourite clothing brands?
We have it covered on the High Street, out of town, and in the West End.

Lucas has many years of experience working in the retail sector for the nation’s favourite High Street multiples, for the biggest shopping centres in the country and for some of the finest stores in the West End.
Lucas has embarked on a major upgrade and refurbishment programme for
Marks & Spencer. Our responsibilities include drylining new petitions, erecting
new suspended ceilings, creating spaces for window displays and complete
decorating programmes as the stores are given a facelift. We are liaising very
closely with the contractor on the logistics of the programme, and work through
the night where necessary, to ensure that each store remains open throughout.
Our retail experience led us to decorating some of the biggest shopping centres
in the country – Lakeside, Bluewater and most recently Westfield Stratford City.
In each case our teams slotted neatly into the construction phase and devised
real-time solutions to overcome difficult problems as they arose.
Our painting packages at these centres have included both front and back-of-
house areas. But they have also required detailed specialist work and the
development of new products. We worked closely with the owner and the
designer of Bluewater to develop a signature faux stone external look for the
centre with our own Muralplast paint. At Westfield, after successfully delivering a
number of complex painting packages, our team pulled out all the stops to complete
the unexpected and urgent task of painting 11 km of curbs around the multiple levels
