An honest price, in writing
You get a written quote before anything starts, and it is the price you pay. If something unexpected turns up behind a wall, we stop and talk to you about it rather than adding it to the bill at the end.
Who we are
Local, insured, and accountable
Arad Starco Ltd is based in Manchester and works across the city and the towns around it. We decorate homes, and we decorate the places people work — offices, shops, rentals and communal spaces.
We are a small team by choice. Every job is done by our own people, so the standard does not change depending on who happened to be available that week. When you speak to us about a quote, you are speaking to the people who will actually be in your home.
Alongside general decorating we specialise in kitchen spraying — taking units that are structurally fine but visually tired and giving them a sprayed, hard-wearing finish in whatever colour you choose. It is skilled work, it needs the right equipment and the right paint systems, and it is the part of the job we enjoy most.
How we work
What you can expect from us
Preparation we do not skip
Filling, caulking, sanding and priming take the longest and show the least. They are also the entire difference between a finish that lasts and one that cracks along every joint within a year.
A clean site, every day
Dust sheets down before we start, tidy up at the end of each day rather than the end of the week, and our waste leaves with us when the job is finished.
Respect for your home
We are in your house, around your family and your things. Shoes off where you would like them off, no loud radios, and we will tell you when we are arriving rather than turning up whenever.
Proper insurance
We carry public liability cover, and we are a registered limited company with a name and an address behind the work — not a number that stops answering once the job is done.
We stand behind the finish
If something is not right, tell us and we will come back and put it right. For sprayed kitchens we also offer ongoing aftercare for chips and knocks down the line.
