ABOUT US

FORZ Exterior Painters & Decorators

Based in the heart of Leicester, FORZ Exterior Painters & Decorators understands the city’s evolving skyline better than anyone. We know that renovating a property here is about much more than just applying colour; it is about respecting the building’s origins and understanding the substrate. A converted factory loft in the Cultural Quarter requires industrial-grade finishes like microcement to complement exposed brick and steel beams. A Victorian villa near New Walk needs breathable natural clay or lime plaster to preserve the integrity of its historic masonry. Meanwhile, a modern City Centre apartment demands razor-sharp lines and a sleek, hotel-style aesthetic. We don’t just paint walls; we curate surfaces. We tailor our high-end decorating, flooring, and plastering services to the specific fabric of your building, bridging the gap between Leicester’s industrial past and its contemporary future.

High-End Finishes for Leicester’s Residential & Commercial Spaces

In a city as architecturally diverse as Leicester, a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work. Our service portfolio is designed to address the specific needs of local properties, ranging from the delicate restoration of heritage features to the installation of ultra-modern, seamless surfaces. We combine traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge material technology to deliver results that are not only visually stunning but technically sound.

Whether you are looking to create a statement floor in a retail unit, waterproof a wet room in a loft conversion, or restore the breathability of a damp Victorian terrace, our team has the expertise to execute the project to perfection. Below is our full range of specialist services available across Leicester.

High-End Residential Decorating

Precision painting and finishing for Leicester’s discerning homeowners. We adapt our techniques to suit your space—accentuating the high ceilings and cornices of period homes or creating crisp, minimalist aesthetics for modern apartments.

Microcement & Venetian Plastering

The ultimate finish for Leicester’s industrial conversions. We create seamless, concrete-effect walls and bathrooms that are fully waterproof and perfectly complement the exposed brick and large windows of city lofts.

Terrazzo & Epoxy Flooring

Stylish, seamless, and incredibly durable. Our Terrazzo and Epoxy solutions are perfect for high-traffic commercial spaces or open-plan residential living, offering a sleek, modern look that is easy to maintain.

Natural Clay & Lime Plaster

Essential for the health of Leicester’s older red-brick properties. These eco-friendly, breathable materials regulate humidity and prevent damp, providing a soft, organic texture that honours the history of Georgian and Victorian buildings.

Industrial Painting & Decorating

Revitalising converted warehouses and workspaces. We use specialist coatings to protect steel beams, restore masonry, and enhance the raw, architectural spirit of the building while ensuring longevity.

Commercial Painting & Decorating

Professional services for offices and hospitality venues. We work efficiently to transform business environments, using durable materials that can withstand the demands of a busy Leicester workplace.

Retail Painting & Decorating

Helping local businesses stand out on the high street. We create inviting, brand-aligned atmospheres for shops and boutiques, ensuring a high-quality finish that attracts customers.

Retail Fitout

A comprehensive solution for new or renovating stores. From flooring to ceiling and everything in between, we manage the entire aesthetic transformation of your retail space to get you open for business on time.

OUR PATH TO PERFECTION

A Technical Approach to Transforming Interiors Across Leicester

Leicester Site Consultation

We assess your property’s substrate specifically for the finish you need. Whether checking moisture in Victorian bricks or concrete quality in a commercial unit, we ensure the materials are technically suitable.

Design & Material Guidance

We guide you through complex choices. Whether it’s Microcement for an industrial loft vibe or breathable Clay Plaster for a heritage home, we match the texture and colour to your architecture.

Heavy-Duty Protection

We treat your property with absolute care. Floors are covered with impact-resistant boards, and we build dust containment zones in open-plan spaces to keep the rest of your property clean.

Specialist Surface Preparation

A flawless finish requires a perfect base. We grind floors for Epoxy adhesion, prime walls for Microcement, or repair traditional lath for Lime Plastering. We ensure the surface is mechanically sound before we start.

Precision Masking

We use architectural-grade tape to protect features like exposed steel beams or delicate heritage skirting boards. This guarantees razor-sharp lines between your new wall finish and existing details.

Layering & Application

True craftsmanship takes time. We hand-trowel multiple layers of plaster for depth, precisely pour resin for self-levelling floors, or spray-paint for a smooth finish. Every layer is applied with expert precision.

Sealing & Durability

We ensure longevity. We apply high-performance sealers to floors and specialist plasters, making them waterproof, stain-resistant, and ready for the demands of modern living or high footfall.

Final Clean & Handover

We leave your space spotless. All protection is removed, tools packed away, and furniture returned. We walk you through the finished project to ensure it meets our high standards before signing off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Advice on Specialist Finishes & Decorating in Leicester

While standard painting of a room in a modern Leicester apartment might take 1–2 days, specialist finishes are a multi-stage process involving chemistry and craftsmanship. Microcement and Epoxy require applying multiple layers, drying times between coats, and final sealing. Typically, these projects take 4–7 days to complete properly. We provide a detailed, day-by-day schedule during the quote so you can plan accordingly.

If you live in one of Leicester’s older properties (for example in Highfields, Clarendon Park, or Stoneygate), the answer is often yes. These buildings were built to “breathe.” Using standard gypsum plasters or non-breathable vinyl paints can trap moisture within the bricks, leading to damp issues. Natural Clay and Lime plasters allow moisture to escape, regulating humidity and protecting your historic walls while looking beautiful.

Yes, this is a very popular choice for bathroom renovations in Leicester city centre flats where ripping out old tiles is messy and disruptive. We can apply Microcement directly over existing, stable tiles using a special bonding bridge. It creates a seamless, concrete-look wet room that is fully waterproof, stylish, and easier to clean than grout.

For retail units, showrooms, and offices in Leicester, Epoxy and Terrazzo offer unmatched performance. They are seamless (making them hygienic and easy to clean), highly resistant to heavy foot traffic, and can be customized to match your brand colours. It is a long-term investment in durability that looks far more professional than standard vinyl or laminate.

Yes. Converted lofts often feature rough, damaged, or dusty brickwork. We specialise in industrial decorating, which includes repairing masonry, stabilizing dusty brick surfaces with clear sealers, and painting steel beams or ducting to restore the authentic character of the building while making it livable.

TRUSTED BY CLIENTS

Reviews from Our Local Clients

We wanted to keep the industrial feel of our apartment in the Cultural Quarter but needed a modern bathroom. FORZ suggested Microcement. The concrete look matches the exposed brick perfectly, but it's warm and waterproof. They understood the building's vibe completely.
David M., Cultural Quarter
Hired FORZ for a retail fitout in the city. We needed a floor that could handle heavy foot traffic and looked premium. The Epoxy flooring is incredible—seamless and shiny. The team worked around our opening hours to get it done. Highly professional.
Sarah J., Leicester Business Owner
My flat near the river needed a refresh. I wanted a clean, hotel-style finish. The team was fast, and the cutting-in between the white walls and the feature wall is razor sharp. They protected my floors and furniture perfectly.Highly recommended
— Tom W., City Centre
Renovating a Victorian property in Highfields means dealing with old walls. FORZ advised us to use lime plaster to let the masonry breathe. The finish has a texture and depth you just don't get with modern paint. It feels authentic to the house.
Eleanor & Greg, Highfields
Excellent service. We needed complex patterned wallpaper hung in our living room in Oadby. The attention to detail was superb—invisible joins on the paper and a perfect finish on the woodwork. Best decorators we’ve used in Leicestershire.Highly recommended
