HMG Paints Ltd, the UK’s leading independent paint manufacturer, has partnered with specialist commercial contractors Anglia Decor to successfully deliver a comprehensive refurbishment of a Self-Storage warehouse unit.
Utilising HMG’s advanced ‘1K DTM’ (Direct to Metal) system Anglia Decor transformed the tired yellow unit into a completely refreshed white and red livery. The project highlights how high-performance coatings can streamline commercial transformations with zero operational downtime.
Operating within a live commercial environment presented a unique set of logistical challenges. Anglia Decor was tasked with executing a complete coating upgrade while ensuring minimum disruption to customers accessing their storage units. Overcoming these strict site constraints required a combination of skilled application craftsmanship and a rapid turnaround, which was enabled by HMG’s highly efficient coating system.
Anglia Decor chose HMG Paints over competing manufacturers due to HMG’s product coverage capabilities, ease of ordering and exceptional technical service provided by representative Roger Blinco. To minimise on-site delays, HMG coordinated direct-to-site deliveries, ensuring all coatings arrived precisely when needed to support a seamless setup and an efficient workflow.
“We would recommend using HMG products and support service; we have found the 1K DTM has great coverage and gives a uniform finish. The ease of order and quick delivery time made it incredibly easy to set up the job, get started, and achieve a high-quality result on a busy, live site” said Steve Massey, owner of Anglia Decor.
The 1K DTM system utilised on the project is engineered to combine primer and topcoat properties into a single, high-performance formulation. Formulated for direct application to metal substrates, the product offers excellent adhesion, corrosion resistance, and colour retention. Applied via spray application by the Anglia Decor team, the coating delivered an impeccable, uniform finish across the facility’s surfaces, significantly upgrading the units aesthetic appeal and long-term durability.
“It’s clear to see why Anglia Decor were asked to travel halfway across the country for this project when you see the transformation from a tired looking yellow unit to the stunning new red and white livery” commented Roger Blinco, HMG Technical Sales Manager. “The team have done a great job on this project and we’re proud to have worked with them to identify the right product specification and provide technical support.”
The collaboration highlights HMG Paints’ commitment to supporting independent commercial contractors with agile manufacturing and personalised account management. From technical support and initial order placement through to precise site delivery, the streamlined process allowed Anglia Decor to optimise their daily business operations and deliver complete building solutions for a variety of customers.
