Eco-Friendly Paints & Sustainable Practices

VOC regulations are tightening. Water-based, low-VOC, and plant-based paints will dominate. Developers will increasingly demand BREEAM/LEED-compliant products. Waste reduction and paint recycling will become standard requirements.

Spray Painting & Advanced Application Tools

Airless and HVLP sprayers are becoming the popular. They offer faster, cleaner finishes. Training in spray systems will be crucial as we push for speed and quality.

Smart Paints & Coatings

Thermochromic, antibacterial, and energy-efficient paints will become popular in healthcare, schools, and smart homes. These offer added value and meet modern building standards.

Digital Estimating & AI Quoting Tools

Software tools like PaintScout and MeasureSquare help decorators quote faster and track job costs. Clients increasingly prefer digital submissions and real-time job tracking.

Robotics & Automation

Robotic painting systems will be trialled in large commercial projects. These are early-stage but may reduce demand for low-skilled labour in large-scale repetitive tasks.

Accreditations & Compliance Requirements

SSIP schemes (e.g., CHAS, SMAS, Construction line Gold) will be minimum standards by 2026. Policies on mental health, diversity, and sustainability will be required in RAMS and PPQs.

Specialist Finishes in Demand

Decorative finishes like Venetian plaster, murals, and microcement will grow in popularity. These high-margin services offer differentiation and premium pricing.

Shortage of Skilled Labour

With fewer skilled decorators entering the trade, professionals with CSCS cards and quality workmanship will be in high demand. Teams that are reliable and professional will command higher day rates.
