Established trade.
Consistent finish.
Harefield, Middlesex — serving the Home Counties since 2020.
The company
Founded on doing the job right. That hasn't changed.
Hancock Plastering & Painting Services was founded by Oliver Thomas Hancock, operating out of Harefield in Middlesex. What started as a sole-trade operation has grown into a team of four — all City & Guilds certified, all directly employed by Hancock.
Between the four of them, there's over 60 years of combined trade experience. Victorian terrace plaster, new-build skim, high-end Venetian finishing, external render for Home Counties properties — the team has done it all and keeps doing it properly.
The growth goal is simple: more of the right customers. People who want the job done once, properly, at a fair fixed price. Not bargain hunters expecting contractor-grade work at DIY prices.
