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.

We've built our reputation on doing things properly: showing up when we say we will, delivering quality work without cutting corners, and giving honest advice that puts our clients' needs first.

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 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.
