Block management — Jewellery Quarter

Block Management Painting & Decorating in the Jewellery Quarter

The Jewellery Quarter has one of the most distinctive residential stocks in the city — new-build apartment developments, converted industrial and warehouse buildings, and a handful of older Victorian blocks. Many blocks share access with active retail and hospitality on the ground floor.

Converted industrial buildings have exposed brick, steel and concrete that need substrate-aware finishes.

New-build developments around Newhall Hill and Vyse Street are typically straightforward internal cycles.

Evening or weekend working is common where day-time loading conflicts with ground-floor retail.
