Welcome to H.C.F

High Class Finishes, also known as Under the Roof North

We are honest and passionate about what we do. Using quality products makes sure we get the maximum result for you, and we are multi skilled with plenty of experience. We believe in high class finishes, and it is in our name.

We like to make things easy for you. No job is too small or too big for H.C.F, and quality finishes now mean you don’t have to spend more money later.

We work on both domestic and commercial properties, we are fully insured, and we offer discounted prices for the elderly and if you are disabled.

High class finishes that last, we take every job personally.

What we do

Property transformations, repairs and maintenance. Painting and decorating is our main trade, and as a multi skilled team we cover the jobs around it too.

  • Painting & decorating

    Our main trade. A recent customer had us paint their utility room and treat their summer house and gates.

  • Damp specialist

    Have damp issues? Damp work is one of our specialist trades.

  • Roofing

    Roofing is on our list of trades, with free estimates and inspections.

  • Landscaping & trees

    We now do landscaping too. One job saw 40 to 50 ft trees cut back in height using ladders and a harness, so the garden got its sunlight back.

  • Flooring & carpets

    Carpets laid and new flooring put down to finish a room.

  • Electricals

    Smaller electrical jobs, such as fitting spotlights.

  • Plumbing

    Plumbing is one of the trades we cover.

  • General repairs

    Repairs and maintenance around the home, like the stair handrail we fitted and the loose newel post we tightened for one customer.

Google review, May 2026

Just had the lads in to paint my utility room and treat my summer house and gates.

Firstly communication second to none, they respond to messages within a couple of hours tops. You know where you stand and what to expect.

Punctuality and timekeeping, they said when they'd turn up and they actually did! They put other tradesmen to shame frankly.

Quality of work, top rate, they know their stuff, they'll talk you through your options and recommend the best course of action. They genuinely care about the end result.

Trustworthy and pleasant to have in the house, it's rare to find people who are polite, courteous and put you at ease.

I'd say with confidence I've found the decorators that I'll get back time and again now.
