School & Academy Projects

Picknalls First School, Uttoxeter, Painting & Decorating.

We have completed the Painting & Decorating for Picknalls First School in Uttoxeter. The scope of works included the classrooms, corridors, library, sports hall and offices. The work was completed during the 6 week holidays to prevent disruption to the school.

Wallace Contracts Ltd was also commissioned to repaint the exterior of The Railway Hotel, a pub in Stoke-on-Trent. The project involved painting the brickwork, windows, and doors in a dark red colour. The painters also repaired any cracks or damage to the exterior of the building. The project was completed in two weeks, and the pub was able to reopen on time. The client was very happy with the results, and they have since recommended Wallace Contracts Ltd to other businesses in the area.
